Our company goes to private and commercial locations and screens their excess topsoil, rock, dirt, gravel, sand, wood chips, compost and garden debris. By recycle screening on site, we are able to leave the home owner or contractor, a product they can use. We then remarket the excess materials to other customers needing sand, rock or topsoil.

Our program reduces the amount of materials dumped in fill pits and landfills. By using our service or by purchasing our topsoil screening products, you can feel good about helping to preserve our planet. Shop and compare, we think you will find our recycled products very inexpensive by comparison.

The Project

Reclaim, Recycle and Reuse approximately 1000 cubic yards of 18 inch minus soil and rock dig-out material excavated from a commercial building site.

Although ths job could have been done with one portable screener using different screen sizes, IDM brought in 3 portable screening units to separate the material into usable sizes.

Phase 1

PVG-12V soil screener with 5 inch scalper screen
We first started with the PVG-12V topsoil screener unit with a 3 inch scalper screen. The first pile of raw debris was spread over the screen by the bucketful of a skidsteer.

The PVG-12V two product soil screener is powered by 12 volt deep cell batteries. Approximately 5 hours of run-time per charge. The unit can also be fitted with two batteries for easy change out and no work stoppage.

The two products below represent the material as it passed through the back and front of the first screener.
