The only screening buckets allowing a rapid size adjustment of the material to be screened
Since screening buckets have made their introduction, many users have opted for these attachments coupled to an excavator, a solution that offers clear advantages from many perspectives.
However, the first screening buckets on the market had proven their limits, especially when it came to changing the size of the output material, either because it was not a possibility or if it was, replacing the screening systems involved long downtimes, intense labor and the use of special tools.
Simex VSE range broadens the horizons of screening
With the launch of the VSE series in early 2014, Simex devised a solution that radically changed the use of these attachments, in the process creating new parameters of productivity and profitability.
The current range includes four buckets (VSE 10, VSE 20, VSE 30 and VSE 40) intended for 8-45 ton excavators with load capacities ranging from 0.40 to 1.80 cu m.
Independent of the model, all the screening buckets feature easy loading, simple use and high productivity.
In addition, the exclusive Simex patent allows a rapid size adjustment of the material to be screened in only a few seconds via a control in the operator cab.
In virtue of their patented system, the Simex screening buckets are the only ones that enable output size adjustment even when emptying material loaded into the same bucket without long downtimes or complicated mechanical procedures, a feature that has an important impact on productivity and profitability.
The VSE range offers excellent levels of production also due to the rhomboid-shaped elements with disks in varying diameters that make up the shafts. This specific shape of the tools produces an intense whirling of the material to be screened, all to the advantage of hourly productivity.
To further boost performance, Simex also offers specially designed tools for different applications (stone, recycled, organic materials, etc.), making this attachment ideal for non-demolition related applications too, such as landscaping and waste treatment.
Among the many fields of application where Simex screening buckets can be used, there is a specific need on the part of some users in the road construction sector that has finally been met.
When the task is to reduce the volume of asphalt slabs up to 10 cm thick, users can turn to the CB and CBE crusher buckets as an alternative to a mobile crushers. The crushers are perfectly able to perform the job thanks to their power, but they reduce the asphalt to a size that is too large for it to undergo the recycling process. Now with the new disks studied precisely for this application, the VSE screening buckets can reduce the material to a size appropriate for reuse. The solution also makes it possible to screen asphalt that is already an ideal size but having accumulated for a long time, has recompacted due to the effects of compression or temperature.
