The commitment to durability underscores the philosophy of Remu, which manufactures innovative earthmoving attachments, including screening, crushing, and padding buckets.
As engineering company Remu says, the “toughest guys with the finest earthmoving products” come from the backwoods of Finland.
Besides material handling attachments, it also makes pontoon undercarriages for excavators to enable dredging and excavation work in the most challenging environments.
Remu Business Development Manager Pavel Syrtsov said its operations were centered around having happy customers.
“Understanding our customers is a foundation for product development that is often carried out in cooperation with customers,” he said.
“It is no surprise that the best ideas come from the people who work with our products. We apply this understanding and in-house engineering to guarantee ongoing product development to boost performance and create value for our customers.
“Quality is the cornerstone of our operations, the fruit of combining precise engineering, expert welding, and skilled mechanical staff using the best raw materials available and a constant monitoring process. We are proud to say that our products are made in Finland.”
One of the best examples of this has been the development of the company’s screening buckets.
“Whether it’s topsoil, peat, coal, dirt or compost, a screening bucket is just the right attachment to process your material,” Pavel said.
“Remu screening buckets have a long history dating back to the late 80s. Recent models have gone through rigorous development.
“Our customer-focused development process keeps us on track and ensures continuous improvement which helps us to create products that solve real material processing problems and fulfill customers’ requirements.”
The Remu buckets efficiently sift through dry, wet, or clumpy topsoil to remove debris, rocks, and other unwanted materials, ensuring high- quality soil for landscaping, gardening, and construction projects.
They are compatible with a wide range of machinery types, including excavators, skid steers and loaders, making it suitable for use in diverse environments and project sizes, from small-scale gardening to large-scale construction.
Customisable options include different rotor and blade types and configurations to meet specific project requirements, providing flexibility and versatility in screening operations. Precise screening can be achieved based on desired particle size.
Clumpy soil
For clumpy soil, the buckets break down lumps to ensure a more uniform consistency in the output material, which is essential for achieving quality results in landscaping, gardening, and construction projects.
Smaller particles mix more evenly with other materials, such as soil, compost, or mulch, leading to better integration and distribution of nutrients, moisture, and other beneficial properties.
Breaking up lumps increases the surface area of the material, facilitating better air circulation and moisture absorption, which is crucial for maintaining optimal conditions for plant growth and soil health.
Compost handling
The buckets also facilitate the screening of compost, separating organic matter from larger debris and ensuring the production of nutrient- rich compost for use in gardens, farms, and landscaping applications.
Landscaping material handling
The attachments easily handle various landscaping materials such as mulch, gravel, and sand, allowing for the efficient separation of different materials based on particle size, promoting better aesthetics and functionality in landscaping projects.
Contaminated soil
The buckets can efficiently mix neutralising or stabilising agents into contaminated soil, ensuring a consistent distribution of the agents to produce a homogeneous material.
This uniform blending helps to maximize the effectiveness of the treatment process and ensures that all areas of the soil are treated evenly.
By blending the agents directly into the soil using screening buckets, better contact between the agents and the contaminants is achieved. This enhanced contact leads to improved remediation results.
Using screening buckets this way minimises the need for additional handling of the soil, reducing the risk of spreading contaminants to other areas and streamlining the remediation process.
Re-using material on site
Re-using material on site eliminates the need to purchase new materials, saving significant costs associated with sourcing, transportation, and disposal.
By doing this, valuable natural resources such as soil, gravel, and sand are conserved, reducing the environmental impact associated with extracting and processing new materials. This conservation of resources promotes sustainability and reduces the carbon footprint of construction, landscaping, and other projects.
By reducing the volume of waste sent to landfill, screening buckets help mitigate environmental impacts such as pollution, habitat destruction, and greenhouse gas emissions associated with waste disposal. This proactive approach to waste management promotes environmental sustainability and supports circular economy principles.
With Remu screening buckets, the process of separating and preparing site material for re-use is streamlined, minimising the time and labour required for manual sorting and screening. This increased efficiency accelerates project timelines, allowing for faster completion and delivery of projects.
Re-using site material with screening buckets can help organisations comply with environmental regulations and sustainability initiatives by reducing the need for new material extraction and minimising waste generation.
In turn the number of trucks required on local roads around projects is also reduced with the knock-on effect of decreasing the carbon footprint.
