In the rapidly developing region of Indonesia, a construction and demolition contractor was facing a growing challenge. The company specializes in building demolition, road reconstruction, and infrastructure projects across the archipelago. With Indonesia generating approximately 56.6 million tons of solid waste annually and construction waste posing a significant environmental challenge, the contractor was processing increasing volumes of mixed materials—concrete rubble, soil, rocks, and demolition debris. The traditional method involved hauling materials off-site to a stationary screening plant, paying for transport, and then waiting for processed material to be returned. Transport costs were eating into profits, and project timelines were suffering.
The project manager needed a solution that could process materials directly on-site, eliminating haulage and reducing downtime. After researching options, he discovered an excavator screener from YG Machinery—specifically the YG012 model for his 15-ton excavator. This digger screening bucket attaches directly to the excavator arm, allowing the operator to screen and separate materials at the excavation site. The screening bucket features a 65 L/min operating flow, 15-18 MPa working pressure, and a self-weight of 1020kg. With a rotation speed of 65 RPM, the unit processes material efficiently, separating usable aggregates from waste.
The impact was immediate. The Indonesian contractor now screens concrete rubble, soil, and demolition debris directly on-site. Usable aggregates are separated and reused for backfill and road base, while waste material is set aside for disposal. Transport costs dropped significantly, and project timelines shortened. The machine paid for itself within five months through haulage savings alone. For a free quote on an excavator screener for your operation, contact us today.

Technical Parameters Of The Excavator Screener
Below are the specifications for the YG series screening buckets. The Indonesian contractor chose the YG012 model for his 15-ton excavator.
| Model Number | Applicable Tonnage of Excavator(T) | Operating Flow(L/min) | Working Pressure(Mpa) | Self Weight(Kg) | Number of Revolutions Per Minute(RPM) |
| YG01 | 1.5-3 | 20 | 10-12 | 158 | 35 |
| YG02 | 3.5-5.5 | 30 | 10-12 | 245 | 60 |
| YG08 | 6-10 | 45 | 12-15 | 530 | 65 |
| YG012 | 11-18 | 65 | 15-18 | 1020 | 65 |
| YG016 | 19-28 | 80 | 18-22 | 1920 | 65 |
| YG018 | 29-38 | 150 | 18-22 | 2430 | 65 |
Why is the YG012 digger screening bucket suited to the Indonesian contractor:
- 65 L/min operating flow – matched the excavator’s hydraulic system perfectly, delivering optimal screening performance.
- 15-18 MPa working pressure provides the power needed to handle mixed demolition materials, including concrete, soil, and rocks.
- 1020kg self-weight – well-balanced on the 15-ton excavator, maintaining stability during operation.
- 65 RPM rotation speed – delivered efficient screening without compromising material quality.
- 11-18 ton excavator compatibility – matched the contractor’s existing fleet, eliminating the need for new equipment.

Three Challenges That Made Material Processing Difficult In Indonesia
The Indonesian contractor faced three problems common across the country’s construction and demolition sector.
Problem 1: High Haulage Costs
Transporting mixed demolition materials to off-site screening plants was expensive. Each truckload of concrete rubble, soil, and debris had to be hauled away and then, if usable, hauled back. With Indonesia’s vast geography and often poor road conditions, transport costs were a significant portion of project budgets.
Problem 2: Limited Access To Screening Facilities
Many project sites in Indonesia are located in remote areas or regions without nearby screening facilities. Contractors often had to transport materials long distances or simply dump them, wasting potentially reusable aggregates.
Problem 3: Slow Project Timelines
Waiting for materials to be transported, screened, and returned created delays. Projects that could have been completed in weeks stretched into months. The contractor was losing business to competitors with more efficient processes.
The excavator screener solved all three.
How The Digger Screening Bucket Transformed The Indonesian Project
The YG012 machine is a screening bucket that mounts directly on the excavator arm. The operator scoops material into the bucket, and the rotating screen drum separates materials by size. Usable aggregates fall through the screen, while larger debris remains inside for disposal. The entire process happens on-site, in real-time, without moving materials off the project location.
Eliminate Haulage Costs
The Indonesian contractor now screens materials directly at the excavation site. Concrete rubble is separated from soil, producing usable aggregates for backfill and road base. No more trucking materials to distant screening plants. Haulage costs dropped by more than 60%.
On-Site Material Reuse
Screened aggregates are reused immediately on the same project. The contractor no longer needs to purchase virgin aggregates for backfill or base layers. This reduces material costs and eliminates the environmental impact of quarrying new materials.
Faster Project Completion
With on-site screening, the contractor processes materials as they are excavated. No waiting for materials to be transported and returned. Project timelines shortened by nearly 40%.
Versatile Applications
Beyond construction and demolition waste, the excavator screener handles a wide range of materials:
- Soil and topsoil screening
- Sand and gravel separation
- Compost and organic material processing
- Mining and quarry material screening
- Landscaping and site preparation

Real Feedback From The Indonesian Contractor
After four months of using the YG012 excavator screener, the project manager shared his results.
- Haulage costs: Reduced by more than 60%. The contractor no longer pays for material transport to and from screening plants.
- Material costs: Reduced by 40%. Screened aggregates are reused on-site, eliminating the need to purchase virgin materials.
- Project timelines: Shortened by nearly 40%. On-site screening eliminates waiting time.
- Labor: Reduced from 4 workers to 2. The excavator operator handles screening while one worker manages the screened material.
- Waste reduction: Significantly reduced. Usable materials are recovered and reused instead of being sent to landfills.
- Payback: The machine paid for itself in five months through transport and material savings.
The project manager said, “Indonesia’s construction industry generates massive amounts of waste. We were spending a fortune on transport and disposal. The YG012 machine changed everything. We screen materials on-site, reuse what we can, and only dispose of what’s truly waste. The 65 L/min flow and 65 RPM speed give us consistent screening performance. This is the most cost-effective attachment we have ever bought.”
An operator added: “The digger screening bucket is straightforward to operate. I scoop the material, rotate the drum, and the screening happens automatically. The 1020kg weight keeps the excavator balanced. The 15-18 MPa working pressure handles even the toughest demolition debris. I can screen concrete rubble, soil, and rocks without changing attachments.”
