On a working demolition or aggregate site, the bottleneck rarely shows up at the crusher. It usually shows up at the screener — the machine that has to take whatever the crusher produces and sort it into clean, sized product that can actually be sold or reused. The Kompatto 5030 heavy-duty vibrating screener is the Komplet America answer to that bottleneck — a compact, mobile, double-deck screener built for high-volume screening with the kind of versatility that makes it work on demolition sites, small quarries, and waste-processing operations alike.
This overview covers what the Kompatto 5030 is, the verified specifications that matter on a jobsite, the materials it screens, the double-deck configuration that defines its output flexibility, and how it pairs with the rest of the Komplet equipment lineup to form a complete on-site recycling system.
What the Kompatto 5030 Is
The Kompatto 5030 is a self-propelled, tracked, mobile vibrating screener — the largest in the Kompatto family of compact mobile screeners distributed by Komplet America. It is engineered around three priorities: high screening throughput, compact transport footprint, and the flexibility to function as either a standalone screener or as a pre-screen feeding a crusher. The double-deck screen box separates feed material into multiple sized products in a single pass.
What separates the 5030 from a stationary plant is mobility. The tracked chassis allows on-site repositioning under hydraulic power, and the unit folds down into a transport profile small enough to move between jobsites on a standard heavy-haul trailer in most U.S. jurisdictions. Setup is fast — tracked off the trailer, deployed in minutes, ready to feed.

The Double-Deck Screen System
The Kompatto 5030 uses a heavy-duty sloping double-deck screen box — meaning two stacked screen surfaces, each with its own screening media. Material enters at the top, where the upper deck holds back oversize material and passes everything else through to the lower deck. The lower deck then separates the remainder into mid-size and fine product. The result is three distinct piles of sorted material from a single pass through the machine.
The screen box accepts a wide range of media — steel mesh, punch plates, and reinforced bars — so operators can dial in the exact separation points the job requires. A second hydraulic configuration option converts the output flow from 3-way split to 2-way split, useful when an operator wants to combine oversize and mid-size into a single pile while keeping fines separate.
What this means in practice
On a typical demolition site processing crushed concrete, the upper deck might catch oversize chunks that need to go back through the crusher; the middle pile becomes coarse fill or sub-base material; the bottom pile becomes fine aggregate ready for sale or reuse. The same machine, on the same day, can switch to a 2-way configuration to produce a single bulk fill product and a separate fines pile — without changing screens.
Materials the Kompatto 5030 Screens
The Kompatto 5030 is engineered for the materials a real demolition or aggregate operation actually generates:
- Sand and gravel of varying gradations
- Crushed concrete and recycled concrete aggregate
- Mixed C&D (construction and demolition) waste
- Landfill cover material and waste pre-screening
- Topsoil — separating debris, roots, and oversize from clean soil
- Asphalt millings and recycled asphalt product (RAP)
- Aggregate products from quarry operations
The unit can process damp or sticky materials such as compost or wet soil, but performance is best with dry feed. Heavy moisture content reduces throughput and can blind the screen media — a normal characteristic of any vibrating screener regardless of brand.
Engine, Tracks, and Operating Layout
The 5030 runs on a Tier 4 Final compliant diesel engine producing 45 horsepower — efficient enough to keep daily fuel costs predictable while delivering the power needed for sustained screening at production rates. Fuel consumption is significantly lower than larger stationary screening plants because the machine is sized to match what compact mobile crushers like the K-JC 704 PLUS or K-JC 805 produce, rather than overshooting their throughput.
Operation is wireless remote — a single operator can position the machine, adjust feeder speed, and run the screening process while standing outside the active machine zone. Hydraulically folding conveyors fold up for transport and unfold automatically for deployment. The wireless remote system includes the standard emergency stop and feeder controls a working operator needs.
Performance and Throughput
Rated production is up to 280 US tons per hour at full load. Actual throughput on any given day depends on material type, moisture content, screen media selected, and feed consistency. A consistent operator who keeps the hopper steadily loaded with appropriately sized feed material will get closer to that maximum than one who runs the screener with intermittent feed.
Maximum recommended feed size is below 15″. Material larger than that risks damaging screen mesh or causing flow disruptions in the upper deck. For sites where the feed material regularly exceeds 15″, the Kompatto 5030 should be paired with a crusher upstream — either the K-JC 704 PLUS portable jaw crusher or the K-JC 805 mobile jaw crusher for higher-volume work — to bring feed material down to a size the screener can process efficiently.
How the Kompatto 5030 Fits in a Komplet System
Most operations don’t buy a screener in isolation — they buy it because they already have, or are about to acquire, a crusher. The Kompatto 5030 is sized specifically to work alongside the Komplet jaw and impact crusher lineup. The most common pairings:
Kompatto 5030 + K-JC 704 PLUS jaw crusher: the production-volume sweet spot for most U.S. demolition contractors. The 704 PLUS produces aggregate at up to 90 tph, well within the 5030’s screening capacity, leaving room to absorb production peaks.
Kompatto 5030 + K-JC 805 mobile jaw crusher: for high-volume demolition or quarry operations where the 805’s up-to-160 tph production needs a screener that can keep up without becoming the bottleneck.
Kompatto 5030 + Krokodile PLUS slow-speed shredder: for mixed C&D operations where the shredder reduces bulky and contaminated material first, then the screener separates the shredded output into sized product. This combination handles the messiest demolition feed without requiring perfectly clean input material.
Operating Considerations and Maintenance
Operating any vibrating screener responsibly starts with three universal practices: refer to the user manual for the specific machine model, ensure operators are properly trained on the controls and emergency stops, and maintain the OEM service intervals. Specific to the Kompatto 5030:
- Match the screen media to the material being processed — using overly coarse media on fine material wastes capacity; using overly fine media on coarse material plugs the deck.
- Keep the feed consistent. Intermittent feed reduces throughput more than most operators expect.
- Inspect screen mesh daily for tears or wear. A small tear becomes a contamination problem in the lower deck within hours.
- Watch maximum feed size. Material above 15″ should be reduced upstream by a crusher or shredder before reaching the hopper.
- Follow OEM intervals for hydraulic system service, track tensioning, and engine maintenance. See the official Komplet manual for the specific service schedule.
Why Contractors Choose the Kompatto 5030
Three reasons surface consistently from operators who run the Kompatto 5030:
First, throughput-to-footprint ratio. Up to 280 tph in a tracked machine that fits on a standard heavy-haul trailer is unusual at this size class — most plants delivering that production volume require permitted oversize transport.
Second, output flexibility. The 3-way / 2-way split capability means the same machine handles operations that need three sized products and operations that need two — without specializing into a single configuration.
Third, integration with the Komplet crusher lineup. Buying matched equipment from a single distributor with U.S.-based parts and service support reduces complexity in ways that show up in actual uptime.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum feed size for the Kompatto 5030?
Maximum recommended input is below 15″. Material larger than that risks damaging screen mesh or causing flow disruptions. For feed material that regularly exceeds 15″, pair the screener with a Komplet jaw crusher upstream to reduce material to a screenable size.
Does the Kompatto 5030 have one screen deck or two?
The Kompatto 5030 is a double-deck screener. The upper deck is 8′ × 3′2″ and the lower deck is 7′ × 3′2″. This double-deck configuration is what enables the 3-way split output: oversize, mid-size, and fines, all from a single pass.
Can the Kompatto 5030 process wet or sticky material?
It can. The unit handles damp materials such as wet soil or compost, but performance is best with drier feed. Heavy moisture reduces throughput and can blind the screen media — this is a characteristic of vibrating screeners generally, not specific to the 5030.
How does the 3-way split differ from the 2-way split?
A 3-way split produces three separate piles of sized material from one pass — typically oversize, mid-size, and fines. A 2-way split combines two of those streams into a single pile while keeping the third separate. The Kompatto 5030 converts between configurations hydraulically, without manually changing components.
What is the difference between the Kompatto 5030 and the Kompatto 221?
The Kompatto 5030 is the larger, higher-throughput unit in the Kompatto family — 45 hp, double-deck, up to 280 tph. The Kompatto 221 is more compact and lighter weight, suited for smaller operations or sites where the 5030’s capacity exceeds what the work requires. Both are tracked, mobile, and compatible with the same Komplet crushers upstream.
What does the Kompatto 5030 cost?
Approximate U.S. list price is around $209,000, varying by configuration, dealer location, and any added features. Pricing does not include taxes, shipping, or installation. Pre-owned options and financing structures can change the effective acquisition cost meaningfully. Contact Komplet America or your local dealer for current pricing on a specific configuration.
What kind of warranty comes with the Kompatto 5030?
The Kompatto 5030 ships with a 12-month / 1,000-hour standard warranty, whichever comes first. Komplet America provides U.S.-based parts inventory and a service-provider network for setup and repair. See the Komplet America parts and support page for current warranty terms.
