If your screening top soil I would highly recommend the 5000CT. It's not exactly a spin off. The owner of the company has been manufacturing plant for years. He used to own masterskreen I believe before selling to Metso.

The screens are great. Very simple and easy moved from site to site.

I have two of the Portafills. A 7000IC-R and a 5000CT. We do a lot of recycling, green waste and c&d. We have used it to screen topsoil, wood chips along with gravel and crushed concrete. No matter what you put in the machine it screens and it does a great job. The machines are very durable and take the beating in stride from an industry as tough as ours. Being a small, family owned company so we needed compact equipment to break into the business. Going with these guys was the right move for us.I'll shoot you a link of our last job...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFqyS4VfD0A

Shoot me a pm if you want. Or if you want come up to see them running.

We have rented a crushed and screener from screening services . Will catch up with Davie to hopefully be able to see some machines working . This is something that's on my radar for 2016 . I have spent enough money in 2015 . I'm just hoping that the Fed's do the accelerated depreciation ! I hope I'm impressed with portafill .
