MB-S18 Screener Proves a Game-Changer for Meghalaya Contractor
A major contractor in Meghalaya has significantly increased operational efficiency by using two MB-S18 screener buckets paired with Komatsu PC210 excavators. These units are deployed across mining operations and road maintenance projects, where they’re helping sort materials like 20mm and 30mm aggregates, and even segregating asphalt from soil. With clear time, cost, and environmental benefits, the contractor now calls the MB-S18 screener "invaluable" to their diverse work.
MB-S18 Screener Delivers Dual Impact: Mining + Roadwork
The contractor operates in two critical areas:
- A quarry site, where rock material is processed
- A road upgrade project, where old asphalt needs to be removed, separated, and reused
In both scenarios, the MB-S18 screener delivered consistent performance and material precision without the need for additional screening or crushing setups.
Highlights:
- Deployed on Komatsu PC210 excavators
- Produces 20mm and 30mm screened material
- Used to segregate asphalt from soil on road projects
- Saves time, transport costs, and material wastage

Key Features of MB-S18 Screener
The MB-S18 screener bucket is known for its heavy-duty build, high capacity, and adaptability to varied material types. With interchangeable screening panels, operators can switch between sizes based on job needs—perfect for a contractor handling both mining aggregates and recycled asphalt.
Technical Benefits:
- Mounts on 20–35-ton excavators
- Handles soil, gravel, rock, and reclaimed asphalt
- Produces high-quality, size-specific aggregates on-site
- Cuts crushing time by up to 60%

Massive Cost and Time Savings in Mining Projects
In their mining operations, the contractor needed quick segregation of materials after blasting. With the MB-S18 screener, they could screen large volumes of rock right at the source—no hauling, no waiting.
Efficiency Gains:
- Consistent 20mm and 30mm aggregates directly from the screener
- Elimination of back-and-forth trucking to fixed plants
- Streamlined workflow reduced machinery idle time
Asphalt Segregation Made Easy in Road Work
For their road upgrade project, the team faced a tough challenge: reclaiming asphalt from aging road layers. The MB-S18 screener was able to separate asphalt from soil cleanly, allowing both to be reused on-site.
Why it worked:
- Efficiently screened and recovered reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP)
- Reduced the need for dumping or buying new materials
- Enabled eco-friendly reuse of segregated materials

Contractor Feedback: “Invaluable” for Daily Operations
According to the contractor, the MB-S18 screener has become an essential asset in their equipment lineup. From material quality to time efficiency, the screener continues to deliver.
Key advantages cited by the customer:
✅High throughput without external processing
✅Cleaner work sites with less material handling
✅Flexible use across varied job types
✅Fuel and transport cost savings
✅Reduced environmental impact
This case from Meghalaya is a strong example of how one tool—the MB-S18 screener—can drive performance across multiple job types. With better material control, faster processing, and less waste, it offers practical benefits that contractors can feel every day on-site.
If you're in mining, road maintenance, or any material handling job, it's worth checking how a screening bucket like the MB-S18 can change your game.
