What Does Fragment Size Mean on a Screening Bucket?
The fragment size is the gap between the stars through which the undersize material falls, which dictates the size of the product the screening process produces. Gyru-Star screening buckets are available with four different fragment sizes: 10, 15, 20, and 40 mm (nominal).
What is the Right Fragment Size for My Application?
The fragment size you choose for your screening bucket will depend on the size of the product you want to produce. Some applications, such as cable and pipe padding, may require a specific fragment size. However, our standard fragment size is 20 mm, as this is well suited to most general-purpose applications.
Your Gyru-Star dealer will be able to provide further guidance on selecting the right fragment size for your application.
Does the Fragment Size Affect How Quickly I Can Screen Material?
In some cases, the fragment size can affect how fast you can screen material. The larger fragment sizes will, of course, let through more material, though you will generally find that the material itself will have a greater impact on screening speed.

Can I Change the Fragment Size on a Gyru-Star Screening Bucket?
Yes, you can change the fragment size of your Gyru-Star screening bucket. However, this does require the rotors to be replaced, which are available from your Gyru-Star dealer.
Alternatively, comb kits are available as an add-on accessory, which will prevent oversize material from escaping over the top rotor.
