Excavator screener – also called a rotary screening bucket – is an attachment that turns your excavator into a mobile screening plant. It sorts and separates materials by size directly at the job site. Instead of hauling material to a stationary screen, you screen it on the spot.
This machine attaches to the excavator arm and uses the machine’s hydraulic power to rotate a screening drum. Material is fed into the drum, and smaller particles fall through the screen holes while larger pieces stay inside. The operator can then dump the oversized material elsewhere or reprocess it.
A rock screening bucket for excavator is especially useful when you need to separate soil from rock, or fine material from coarse aggregate – all without bringing in extra equipment.

How Does This Rock Screening Bucket for Excavator Work?
Using this excavator soil screener is simple and fast.
Step 1: Attach the excavator screener to your excavator arm using the standard pin-on or quick-coupler system. Connect the hydraulic hoses to the excavator’s auxiliary circuit.
Step 2: Use the excavator bucket to load material into the screening drum – or scoop it directly with the screener itself.
Step 3: Activate the hydraulic motor. The drum rotates at 35-65 RPM. Fine material falls through the screen holes. Oversized material stays inside the drum.
Step 4: Dump the oversized material to the side, or continue screening until the drum is empty.
The entire process is controlled from the excavator cab. One operator does everything – no second machine, no extra crew. That is the advantage of using a digger screening bucket.
5 Key Features of YG Excavator Soil Screener
YG excavator screener offers several practical benefits for contractors.
- Simple hydraulic connection – No external power source needed. The screener runs off your excavator’s auxiliary hydraulic circuit.
- Adjustable screening size – Different drum sizes are available for different output specifications (please confirm hole sizes when ordering).
- Durable construction – Built with wear-resistant steel for long service life in tough conditions.
- Low maintenance – Few moving parts compared to stationary screening plants.
- Compact and mobile – Move it anywhere your excavator can go. No towing, no setup time.
For contractors who screen materials regularly, this machine eliminates the cost and delay of hiring a separate screening contractor or transporting material off-site.

Excavator Screener – Model Selection Guide
Choosing the right excavator soil screener depends on your excavator size and hydraulic capacity.
| Model | Excavator Size | Weight | Flow Required | Best For |
| YG01 | 1.5-3 ton | 158 kg | 20 L/min | Small landscaping, garden work |
| YG02 | 3.5-5.5 ton | 245 kg | 30 L/min | Mini excavator screening jobs |
| YG08 | 6-10 ton | 530 kg | 45 L/min | General construction, site prep |
| YG012 | 11-18 ton | 1020 kg | 65 L/min | Medium-scale earthmoving |
| YG016 | 19-28 ton | 1920 kg | 80 L/min | Large sites, aggregate processing |
| YG018 | 29-38 ton | 2430 kg | 150 L/min | Heavy-duty rock and debris screening |
Always check your excavator’s hydraulic flow and pressure against the table above. The machine must match your machine – too small and you waste capacity; too large and your excavator cannot power it properly.
