Evaluating the cost effectiveness of the DIFCO ALL-STAR Screening Bucket when compared to traditional screening equipment

One Man, One Machine

We will evaluate the cost effectiveness of the DIFCO ALL-STAR Screening Bucket when compared to traditional screening equipment commonly used in various industries. Traditional screening methods often involve complex and expensive machinery, resulting in high operational costs. DIFCO introduced the ALL-STAR screening bucket as a cost effective alternative promising efficiency and reduced expenses.

Operational Costs

With a 13-tonne excavator, the DIFCO ALL-STAR Screening Bucket costs approximately £290 per day, totalling £1450 per week. This proves to be one of the most economical screening methods, offering high efficiency with just one operator and machine, translating to increased profits.

In contrast, using a conventional screen with a 13-tonne excavator and 18-20 tonne wheeled loader incurs operating costs of around £672 per day (£3360 per week). Introducing material transport elevates daily costs to £902 (£4510 per week).

Other Expenses

The above figures do not consider factors such as machine transport, initial machinery cost and maintenance and upkeep of machinery. Unlike conventional screens that involve multiple machines and upkeep complexities, the ALL-STAR Screening Bucket streamlines maintenance with just one machine to manage. The ease of maintenance contributes to further savings. Additionally, the initial cost of the ALL-STAR Screening Bucket is notably lower than that of conventional screens, making it a financially prudent choice.
The ALL-STAR Screening Bucket stands out in terms of transport convenience. It can easily travel with the excavator, eliminating the need for separate transport arrangements. In contrast, conventional screens pose logistical challenges, incurring additional expenses and reducing overall profits.

Summary

The DIFCO ALL-STAR Screening Bucket proves to be one of the most cost-effective solutions for aggregate screening. Its operational efficiency, low maintenance requirements, initial cost advantages, and transportation ease positions it as a superior choice, enabling businesses to optimize their screening processes and boost overall profitability.
