Komplet Kompatto 5030 Vibrating Screener: A Basic Overview

The Kompatto 5030 heavy-duty vibrating screener is Komplet’s best-selling screener — and the natural pair for the K-JC 704 PLUS jaw crusher, the most popular contractor-scale crusher in the lineup. Together they form Komplet America’s most-purchased crushing-and-screening combination, processing concrete debris, asphalt millings, quarry stone, pit-run gravel, and topsoil into multiple spec sizes from a single mobile workflow.

This guide is the comprehensive product overview: full specifications, design philosophy, key features (especially the unique hydraulic conversion between 2-way and 3-way split), applications, and how the Kompatto 5030 fits into a complete on-site material processing operation.

Design Philosophy: Heavy-Duty Compact Mobile Screening

The Kompatto 5030 is built around three engineering priorities: throughput, versatility, and compact mobility. Most vibrating scalping screens fall into one of two categories — large fixed industrial installations capable of high throughput, or compact mobile units with limited capacity. The Kompatto 5030 sits in the middle: full heavy-duty industrial throughput (up to 280 US tph) in a tracked self-propelled package that fits a standard heavy-haul trailer.

That positioning serves the customer profile that drives most of Komplet America’s sales: contractors, recyclers, and aggregate producers running operations large enough to justify serious daily production but compact enough that fixed installations don’t fit the operational reality. Demolition contractors moving between job sites. Aggregate producers serving multiple pits. Recyclers expanding into new material streams. Rental fleets serving regional construction markets. The Kompatto 5030 is engineered for that workload.

Key Features That Define the Kompatto 5030

1. Fast Hydraulic 2-Way / 3-Way Conversion

This is the Kompatto 5030’s signature capability. Most vibrating scalping screens are configured for either 2-way or 3-way split at the factory and can’t change easily. The Kompatto 5030’s screen box converts hydraulically between 2-way and 3-way split configurations — switching takes minutes, not hours.

Why this matters: customer spec needs change. A demolition contractor running RCA production might want 3-way split (fines + 3/4″ base + 1-1/2″ drainage + oversize) on Monday’s project, then 2-way split (mixing the mid-size fractions for a single base spec) on Tuesday’s job. Or seasonal demand shifts — landscape supply yards may run 3-way split during summer for varied retail spec sizes, then 2-way split during commercial-construction season for high-volume base material. The Kompatto 5030 adapts to each scenario without operational downtime.

2. Heavy-Duty Sloping Double-Deck Screen Box

The screen box is the heart of any vibrating screener. The Kompatto 5030’s heavy-duty design supports sustained daily production loads, accepts a wide range of screening media (steel mesh, punch plates, reinforced bars), and delivers consistent separation accuracy across the full mesh range from 1/4″ topsoil fines up to 5″ oversize.

3. Variable Feeder Speed

The vibrating loading hopper feeder is variable-speed, letting operators match feed rate to material characteristics and target output. Slower feed rate for materials requiring more retention time on the deck (wet material, fines-heavy feed); faster rate for clean dry aggregate at high throughput. Operator-adjustable via wireless remote.

4. Self-Propelled Tracked Mobility

Drive the machine into position via wireless remote control — no specialized rigging, no crane work, no dedicated setup crew. Tracks deliver better stability than wheels on uneven job sites and don’t require tire pressure management. The 7’2″ transport width fits standard heavy-haul trailers; the 31’5″ transport length is comparable to a flatbed truck.

5. Hydraulically Folding Conveyors

Output conveyors fold hydraulically for transport. On arrival at a new job site, deploy conveyors via the wireless remote, run a brief warm-up, and start screening within minutes. Setup time under 30 minutes from transport configuration to operating.

6. Wireless Remote Control

Every primary function — drive, feeder rate, deploy, start/stop, conveyor direction, emergency stop — controlled remotely. One operator handles the full machine from a position with optimal visibility of the operation. Multi-operator setups become unnecessary, reducing labor cost.

7. Versatile Screen Box Operation

The Kompatto 5030 functions both as a standalone scalping screener (taking pit-run gravel, soil, or excavated material directly) AND as a pre-screener or post-screener for crushing operations (paired with a jaw crusher to size the crushed output into multiple spec products). This flexibility makes it valuable across many operation types from a single capital investment.

What the Kompatto 5030 Screens

Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA)

Paired with a K-JC 704 PLUS jaw crusher, the Kompatto 5030 screens crushed concrete (RCA) into spec sizes for resale: 3/4″ minus base, 1-1/2″ drainage, #57 stone, fines, and oversize. The 3-way split capability produces three saleable spec sizes from a single pass — turning demolition concrete into multiple revenue streams.

Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP)

Asphalt millings and crushed full-depth asphalt pavement screen into RAP spec sizes for sale to hot-mix asphalt plants, cold-patch material, or as base aggregate. The Kompatto 5030 handles the moderately moist character of asphalt feed without the gumming issues that plague some screening designs.

Aggregate Production From Quarry Stone

Quarry-run blasted rock or pit-run gravel feeds the Kompatto 5030 either directly (if appropriately sized) or after primary jaw crushing. Output is multiple spec sizes for road base, drainage, concrete mix aggregate, asphalt mix aggregate, and decorative landscape gravel.

C&D Recycling Mixed Material

Mixed construction and demolition debris (after primary crushing or shredding) screens into useful fractions: clean fines for fill applications, mid-size base material for road and parking lot construction, and oversize for further processing. The Kompatto 5030’s tolerance for variable feed makes it well-suited to mixed-material recycling.

Topsoil and Landscape Material

For dry topsoil and landscape material, the Kompatto 5030 produces clean screened soil at high throughput. For wet or organic-rich soil/compost/mulch, a trommel screener is typically the better tool — the K-TS 30 or K-TS 40 handles moisture-laden organics that vibrating screens struggle with. But for dry conditioned topsoil, the Kompatto 5030 delivers higher throughput per machine than a trommel.

Excavation and Site Preparation

Excavated soil and rock from site preparation projects screens directly into clean fill, base material, drainage stone, and oversize for separate disposal. On-site screening eliminates aggregate purchases for the project’s foundation work while diverting excavated material from landfill disposal.

How the Kompatto 5030 Fits in a Complete Operation

With the K-JC 704 PLUS Jaw Crusher (Most Popular Combination)

The K-JC 704 PLUS — Komplet’s best-selling crusher at up to 90 US tph — produces crushed material that feeds directly into the Kompatto 5030. The screener’s 280 US tph capacity exceeds the crusher’s output, which gives operational flexibility: feed the screener through the crusher when manufactured aggregate is needed, OR feed pit-run gravel directly to the screener when raw material is already in size range. One screener serves both scenarios from a single capital investment.

With the K-IC 70 Impact Crusher (Premium Cubical Output)

For operations producing premium cubical aggregate (concrete or asphalt mix), add the K-IC 70 compact impact crusher between the jaw crusher and the screener. The flow becomes: pit/quarry feed → K-JC 704 PLUS (primary jaw) → K-IC 70 (cubical secondary shaping) → Kompatto 5030 (sizing into spec). The Kompatto 5030 handles the 3-way split that asphalt and concrete spec markets typically require.

With the K-JC 805 Jaw Crusher (Higher Volume)

For higher-volume operations needing throughput beyond the K-JC 704 PLUS’s 90 US tph, the K-JC 805 jaw crusher — at up to 160 US tph — pairs with the Kompatto 5030 (280 US tph capacity) for moderate-to-high-volume aggregate production. The screener still has spare capacity, supporting future operational scale-up without immediate equipment replacement.

With the K-TC 460 Conveyor

A K-TC 460 tracked conveyor extends material reach from the screener output to multiple stockpiles, builds higher cleaner piles, and reduces the loader work needed to organize finished product. For yards with significant volume, the conveyor pays for itself in reduced labor and cleaner stockpile organization.

With the Krokodile PLUS Slow-Speed Shredder

Demolition operations producing both hard concrete waste AND mixed-soft C&D waste benefit from the Kompatto 5030 + K-JC 704 PLUS combination for the concrete fraction PLUS the Krokodile PLUS slow-speed shredder for the soft mixed-debris fraction. Together they convert the entire demolition waste stream into either RCA or volume-reduced shred.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much material can the Kompatto 5030 screen per hour?

Up to 280 US tph depending on material and operating conditions. Production rates vary based on feed material (dry aggregate runs faster than damp/sticky material), operator skill, weather conditions, and target output specifications. Real-world production for typical RCA and aggregate operations runs in the 150-250 US tph range during sustained production.

What’s the difference between 2-way and 3-way split?

A 2-way split produces two output sizes plus oversize (3 streams total). A 3-way split produces three output sizes plus oversize (4 streams total). The Kompatto 5030 supports both configurations and converts hydraulically between them — useful for operations whose output mix changes by project, season, or customer requirement. For example: 3-way split for retail landscape supply selling pea gravel + #57 + crusher run; 2-way split for commercial construction needing only base + oversize.

What size material can the Kompatto 5030 accept?

Maximum input width is roughly the deck width (about 4′), but feeding oversized material risks damaging the screen deck. The recommended maximum feed size is approximately 15″ pieces. For larger material, pre-break with an excavator-mounted hydraulic breaker, or feed through a primary jaw crusher first.

Can the Kompatto 5030 handle wet or sticky material?

Damp material handles fine. Truly wet, sticky, or organic-heavy material (compost, wet topsoil, mud-laden fines) tends to plate out on a vibrating deck and reduce throughput. For wet or organic feed, a trommel screener (K-TS 30 or K-TS 40) is typically the better tool. The Kompatto 5030 operates best with dry to moderately moist crushed aggregate, RCA, RAP, sand, gravel, and crushed concrete.

How long does setup take on the Kompatto 5030?

Under 30 minutes from transport configuration to operating. Self-propelled tracks drive the machine into position via wireless remote; conveyors deploy hydraulically; no specialized rigging or crane work needed. One operator handles the entire setup process.
