Dig A Crusher, the award-winning company that pioneered the machine-mounted crusher concept, has extended its product offering with the introduction of a comprehensive line-up of excavator-mounted screens.

Cheshire-based Dig A Crusher has unveiled a comprehensive new range of excavator-mounted screening buckets that will be sold under the Dig A Screener brand name.   Suitable for excavators in the 10 to 35 tonne operating weight range, the new Dig A Screener products are a perfect complement to the company's market-leading line-up of crusher bucket attachments and underline the company's commitment to customers in the construction, plant hire, demolition, waste and recycling sectors.   The introduction of the new models also throws open new market areas including landscaping, forestry, pipelines and a host of other previously untapped sectors.

Three Families
Designed to match the size, weight, classification and nomenclature of the company's highly popular range of excavator-mounted crusher buckets, the new screening attachments are divided into three "families", each with their own specific applications:

• S-Series - Comprising a total of 11 individual models, the Screening or S-Series offers a unique ability to screen and mix awkward, wet or sticky materials. With bucket capacities from 0.8 to 2.9 m³, the S-Series units are suitable for excavators in the 10 to 35 tonne operating weight range. Key applications include topsoil cleaning, stone removal, composting and forestry.
• R-Series - Consisting of four individual models, the Rotating or R-Series is a "trommel-type" screen that is suitable for screening, separating and washing a wide variety of materials. Designed for carriers in the 13 to 35 tonne operating weight range, the R-Series units are ideally suited to applications involving the processing and recycling of construction and demolition waste as well as a host of mixing, cleaning and backfilling tasks.
• V-Series - The three-model V-Series of Vibrating riddle buckets are equally at home in construction and demolition waste, stone removal and forestry and composting applications. Suitable for carriers in the 13 to 30 tonne operating weight class, the V-Series models have capacities from 0.6 to 1.0 m³ and have a myriad of potential applications including rubble processing and segregation.

Customer Demand
Dig A Crusher reports that the new products have been added to the company's product line to satisfy customer demand.   "The UK has truly grasped the concepts of waste minimisation and materials resource efficiency in recent years and recycling is now a way of life for most companies in the construction, demolition and waste sectors.   This has been reflected in the huge leap in demand for the Dig A Crusher buckets," explains managing director Sean Heron.   "However, having experienced the ability to crush and process materials on site with just a single excavator rather than a dedicated crushing plant and its associated range of ancillary equipment, many of our customers have asked us to provide a similar solution in the screening field.    With the introduction of the new Dig A Screener products, we're not only expanding our product portfolio but we're also satisfying a clearly defined demand from our existing customer base."
