In the world of construction, demolition, and landscaping, the biggest bottleneck isn’t often the initial excavation—it’s managing the massive, mixed pile of material left behind. This raw earth, laden with rocks, debris, and low-grade aggregate, is often viewed as costly waste destined for the landfill.
Orbit Screens technology is designed to fundamentally change that perception, turning that debris into a steady, high-margin revenue stream. A material screener isn’t just a piece of equipment; it’s an investment in efficiency and profitability.
1. The Cost of Unscreened Material
Every time you handle unscreened material, you incur hidden costs:
- Disposal Fees: Paying to haul away mixed waste is expensive and cuts directly into project profits.
- Labor Loss: Time spent on site hand-picking debris, sorting material, or dealing with equipment jams is wasted labor.
- Equipment Damage: Hidden rocks, concrete chunks, and metal fragments cause unnecessary wear and tear on loaders, spreaders, and other heavy machinery.
2. The Orbit Screens Advantage: Efficiency Through Automation
Orbit Screeners are engineered to solve these problems by automating the separation process and ensuring consistency.
- Precision Sizing: Our screeners efficiently separate material into fine, usable topsoil and specific aggregate sizes. This precision is crucial for meeting client specifications (e.g., specific bedding sand or fill grades).
- Continuous Recycling Loop: For tougher materials like concrete or demolition waste, our screeners work seamlessly with crushers. The Orbit unit separates the acceptable product while automatically feeding oversized material back into the crusher for a second pass. This continuous loop guarantees that all of the material is processed to the appropriate size, eliminating near-zero waste while maximizing valuable output.
- Unmatched Versatility: Orbit Stand Alone Conveyors and screeners are built tough enough to handle a diverse range of materials, including everything from fine aggregates and recycling by-products to rough-cut firewood and timber waste. This versatility ensures your equipment remains profitable year-round, regardless of seasonal demands.
3. Turning Liability into a Cash Crop
The moment you implement an Orbit Screener, you transform your cost centers into profit centers:
- Create New Revenue Streams: The clean, high-quality topsoil and recycled aggregate produced by screening can be sold at a premium price. You are essentially creating a new product from material you already own.
- Reduce Virgin Material Costs: Recovering usable aggregate on-site cuts down on the need to purchase and transport expensive virgin materials, increasing your cost savings.
- Sustainability & Compliance: Screening reduces landfill contributions and promotes resource reuse, aligning your business with growing environmental regulations and offering a powerful selling point to eco-conscious clients.
Don’t let valuable materials sit idle in a debris pile. When you choose Orbit Screens, you are investing in American-made engineering built for maximum uptime and efficiency, helping you unlock hidden revenue in every job.
