Belgian-made machines are very popular among landscapers. Flexiever's range offers several solutions: sieving at the client's destination, and stationary sieving on its own premises.
The corona pandemic resulted in a boom in garden work. Flexiever, which supplies screening machines to landscapers and other companies, also experienced this. The growth of recent years continued in 2020, and it is now also running like clockwork. In the mobile range, the MS trailer did particularly well. This is a single-deck screen mounted on the chassis of a trailer (680 kilograms), making it the ideal machine for small screening jobs or screening jobs in confined spaces.
By performing screening work in people's homes, significant savings in transportation and waste costs can be realized. Soil is left behind and clean debris is disposed of. On site, during screening, the Mini Screener rotates 90 degrees along both sides. This causes the coarse and fine fraction to fall to the left or right of the trailer, creating a free passage at all times.
Their compact screen deck (1830 x 900 millimeters) is easily interchangeable and suitable for various materials, such as compost, black soil and sand. The Mini Screeners can be filled with a mini-excavator, bobcat, shovel or conveyor, emphasizes Michael Craene, sales manager of Flexiever.
If you have an articulated loader, then the FleXiever Mobile is more suitable. This shaker sieve lifts up when commissioned, taking the sand under the machine. "With an articulated loader, you can fill the sieve and remove the sand under the machine in one motion. That means a lot of efficiency gains," Craene said.
The Mobile is a double screen deck machine with a surface area of 1830×1830 millimeters, realizing greater capacity. Folded closed, the 3,400-pound screen can be easily hitched to a vehicle's hitch and driven to the job site.
For gardeners who perform on-farm soil processing, Flexiever also has budget-friendly stationary machines. Highly suitable is the Flexiever MS, which is offered in a range of five models: the MS05, MS10, MS20, MS30 and the MS40.
"The difference is in the size," Craene explains. For example, the 1,700-kilogram MS40 has a 2×3.6-meter screening deck and a 270-centimeter-wide crane bucket. Its little sister, the MS05, weighs 250 kilograms, has a screening area of 1000×1100 millimeters and a bucket width of 128 centimeters. Because even with these machines the soil ends up under the machine, a mini wheel or articulated loader is the most optimal loading method. The screens can be moved quite easily on a site, such as with a forklift.
