[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]When processing farm and leaf compost<\/strong>, the quality of the final product is becoming increasingly important. A common challenge is removing plastic, film and other coarse contaminants without damaging the structure of the compost.<\/p>\n

During a practical project, the MGM GS50-12 grid screening bucket<\/strong>, equipped with a 12 mm screen deck<\/strong>, was mounted on a wheeled excavator to remove these contaminants from the material efficiently.<\/p>\n

A high-quality final product<\/h2>\n

The aim of this project was to produce a cleaner compost product of a higher quality. By carefully screening the material, coarse contaminants such as plastic, film, branches and other unwanted components are effectively separated.<\/p>\n

This leaves behind a more homogeneous and cleaner compost product that is better suited for further use.<\/p>\n

Better results than with a trommel screen<\/h2>\n

The customer previously used a rented trailer-mounted trommel screen<\/strong>. During this practical test, however, the MGM GS50-12<\/a> delivered a clearly superior final result.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the active screening movement, the material is loosened and separated efficiently. This makes it easier to remove contaminants such as plastic from the compost. The result was a visibly cleaner final product and higher compost quality than with the previously used trommel screen.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”1860″ img_size=”full” css=”” image_alt=”Removing plastic from farm and leaf compost with the MGM GS50-12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Flexible and efficient operation<\/h2>\n

Because the GS50-12 is mounted directly on the wheeled excavator, the material can be picked up, screened and processed at any required location.<\/p>\n

No additional machines or conveyor belts are needed. This allows for more efficient and flexible operation while keeping the worksite organised.<\/p>\n
