Most screening buckets on the market currently use outdated chain drive systems, which are loud, require daily oiling and greasing, and are prone to mechanical issues. In contrast, Gyru-Star Compact Screening Systems utilise innovative carbon belt drives. This advanced system is not only far more reliable but also requires virtually no maintenance. Coupled with a plug-and-play hydraulic system, Gyru-Star screening buckets are ready to work the moment they arrive on site.
Why Do Gyru-Star Screening Buckets Use a Carbon Belt Drive?
When you rely on machinery to get the job done, even a minor mechanical issue can have major knock-on effects. This is why Gyru-Star screening buckets are designed to be as reliable as possible, keeping downtime to a minimum and maximising your productivity.
From day one, Gyru-Star has used carbon belt drives because they have proven to be far more reliable than chain drives and require significantly less maintenance. This means that no matter the job, operators can rest assured that their screening bucket will keep on working.
What Are the Main Benefits of a Carbon Belt Drive System?
Reliability: Gyru-Star’s carbon belt drive system is much more reliable than chain-driven systems, as it is self-tensioning.
Minimal Maintenance: With fewer components and no oiling or greasing required, maintenance and downtime are minimal.
Quieter Operation: Belt drive systems are much quieter than chain drives, making Gyru-Star screening buckets ideal for noise-sensitive sites, such as residential areas.
Lightweight Design: Carbon belts are lighter than chains, which improves the overall efficiency and manoeuvrability of the screening buckets.
Longer Lifespan: Carbon belts have a much longer lifespan than chains, increasing the system's reliability and reducing the likelihood of a mechanical issue.
How Does Gyru-Star’s Carbon Belt Drive System Work?
Gyru-Star screening buckets are hydraulically driven from the carrier’s auxiliary circuit, and each bucket is optimised for the carrier weight range and is designed integrally to ensure even weight distribution.
Thanks to Gyru-Star's low flow rate requirements, they can be used on a much wider range of carriers, including telehandlers and compact and mini loaders. This makes Gyru-Star screening buckets incredibly versatile attachments.
To control the speed of the rotors, the operator simply needs to change the hydraulic flow rate. For carriers without this option in the cab, an external flow control system is available. Standard on all skid steer models (SL range), this enables the operator to manually set the flow rate on the bucket. This accessory is compatible with all models in the Gyru-Star range.
Gyru-Star’s plug-and-play hydraulic system is designed for ease of use, ensuring that the screening buckets are operational as soon as they arrive on site. The system’s versatility allows it to be optimised for various carriers, making Gyru-Star screening buckets suitable for a wide range of applications.
Conclusion
With all the benefits of the carbon belt drive, and an advanced hydraulic system, Gyru-Star screening buckets offer a superior alternative to traditional chain-driven systems. They deliver enhanced reliability, reduced maintenance, and improved efficiency, making them an excellent choice for modern screening applications.
