An excavator screening bucket is a versatile attachment that turns any excavator into a mobile screening unit. It mounts directly to the machine and uses the excavator’s hydraulic system to separate materials on-site. Whether you need to sort soil, gravel, sand, or construction waste, this attachment handles the job without extra equipment. The Rotary Screening Bucket saves time, reduces transport costs, and improves job site efficiency. For contractors looking to buy a reliable screening solution, YG Machinery offers a range of models to match different excavator sizes and project needs.
YG Excavator Screening Bucket Parameters
The table below shows the key specifications for YG Machinery’s screening attachment for excavator lineup. Each model is designed for a specific excavator weight class.

| Suitable Excavator | 5–9T | 10–15T | 16–25T | 26–40T |
| Weight | 500 kg | 800 kg | 1,600 kg | 2,800 kg |
| Bucket Capacity | 0.3 m³ | 0.4 m³ | 1.1 m³ | 2.0 m³ |
| Working Pressure | 20 MPa | 20 MPa | 20 MPa | 20 MPa |
| Recommended Flow Rate | 60 L/min | 80 L/min | 140 L/min | 200 L/min |
| Screen Size Range | 5–50 mm | 5–80 mm | 5–100 mm | 5–120 mm |
These parameters help you select the right excavator rock screening bucket for your machine. The YGS-9 works well with mini excavators, while the YGS-35 handles heavy-duty excavators in the 26–40 ton range. All models operate at 20 MPa working pressure and offer adjustable screen sizes to match different material types.


Advantages of the Excavator Screening Bucket
- On-Site Screening Saves Time and Money:Material screening happens right where you dig. There is no need to haul materials to a fixed plant and back. One operator handles loading, screening, and stockpiling. This cuts labor costs and reduces project timelines.
- Versatile Material Handling:This screening attachment for excavator processes many materials. It works with soil, sand, gravel, crushed rock, and construction debris. It also handles recycling tasks like separating concrete from rebar or sorting asphalt from soil. The rotary screening bucket design allows for efficient separation of different particle sizes.
- Adjustable Screen Sizes:Screen size options range from 5 mm to 120 mm depending on the model. You can change the screen mesh to produce different output sizes. This flexibility lets you use one bucket for multiple jobs—from fine topsoil screening to coarse aggregate separation.
- Durable Construction:These buckets are built with high-strength materials. They withstand tough job site conditions and heavy use. The robust design means less downtime for repairs and lower maintenance costs over time.
- Self-Cleaning Design:The screening bucket structure resists clogging. Even with wet soil or sticky materials, the bucket keeps working. This feature is especially valuable when screening materials with high moisture content.
Applications of the Excavator Screening Bucket
- Construction and Road Building:Use the bucket to screen fill material, backfill trenches, and prepare sub-base layers. It separates usable material from waste right on the construction site. This reduces the need to import fill material and lowers disposal costs.
- Mining and Quarrying:Screen blasted rock and excavated material directly at the quarry face. The bucket produces consistent aggregate sizes without fixed screening plants. This is especially useful in remote locations where transporting material to a plant is expensive.
- Landscaping and Topsoil Processing:Separate rocks and debris from topsoil to produce clean fill for landscaping projects. The mini excavator screening bucket is ideal for smaller jobs like garden preparation and golf course construction.
- Demolition and Waste Recycling:Sort demolition waste on-site. Separate concrete, brick, wood, and metal for recycling. The rock screening bucket for excavator helps contractors meet recycling goals and reduce landfill fees.
- Pipeline and Trench Backfilling:Screen excavated material before using it to backfill pipelines. This removes rocks that could damage pipes and ensures proper compaction around the line.


FAQ
Q: What size excavator do I need for a screening bucket?
A: YG offers models for excavators from 5 tons up to 40 tons. The YGS-9 fits 5–9 ton machines, and the YGS-35 fits 26–40 ton excavators. Choose the model that matches your excavator’s weight class.
Q: Can I change the excavator screener size?
A: Yes. Each model offers a range of screen sizes. The YGS-9 covers 5–50 mm, while the YGS-35 covers 5–120 mm. You can select the right size for your material and project requirements.
Q: How does the screening bucket work?
A: The bucket uses the excavator’s hydraulic power to rotate its screening mechanism. Material loads into the bucket, and the rotating action separates fine particles from coarse material. The fine material falls through the screen, and the coarse material stays inside for disposal.
Q: Is the screening bucket suitable for wet materials?
A: Yes. The self-cleaning design handles wet soil and sticky materials without clogging. This makes it effective in many job site conditions.
Q: How much does a screening bucket cost?
A: Pricing depends on the model and specifications. Contact YG Machinery for a price quote tailored to your needs. Screening buckets for sale come in various sizes and configurations to fit different budgets and applications.
