The Kompatto 221 is Komplet America’s smallest self-propelled vibrating scalping screener — a compact, tracked, wireless-remote-controlled scalping screen engineered for contractor-scale on-site recycling, landscape supply, compost and topsoil screening, and small commercial material processing. Two-deck 7′ × 3.5′ screen, 25 hp Tier 4F diesel engine, up to 90 US tph throughput, ~7,275 lb operating weight, and a footprint that fits on jobsites where the larger Kompatto 5030 and Kompatto 124 do not.
Below, we walk through what the Kompatto 221 actually does, the verified specifications, the natural Komplet equipment pairings (and which crushers are too large to pair with it efficiently), the application set the Kompatto 221 fits, and how it compares to the larger Kompatto screeners for operations sizing into a different scale.
What the Kompatto 221 Does
A vibrating scalping screener separates a single mixed-size feed pile into multiple spec cuts simultaneously. The Kompatto 221’s two-deck 7′ × 3.5′ screening surface uses interchangeable mesh and screen panels that the operator selects based on the target output spec. Material enters the hopper, vibrates across the upper deck (which catches the oversize fraction), drops to the lower deck (which catches the mid-fraction), and finally drops through to the bottom collection (the fines). The result is three discrete output streams from a single feed pile, in a single pass, without the operator manually re-running material to chase different sizes.
The Kompatto 221 is designed for jobsite mobility. Its tracked self-propelled chassis lets the operator walk it into position from outside the equipment via wireless remote, set up for the day’s work, and reposition between processing locations as the workflow requires. Single-operator workflow is realistic for the Kompatto 221 in most contractor configurations: one trained operator runs the screener, monitors the output cuts, and manages stockpiles.

Natural Komplet Equipment Pairings
The Kompatto 221’s 90 US tph throughput defines which Komplet crushers pair with it efficiently. Pair a screener that is too small with a crusher that produces faster than it can take, and the screener becomes a bottleneck — material stacks up at the screener inlet and the crusher has to throttle back. The Kompatto 221’s natural pairings are the smaller end of the Komplet jaw crusher lineup.
K-JC 503 (Up to 34 US tph) — Natural Pairing
The K-JC 503 mini jaw crusher produces up to 34 US tph through a 19″ × 12″ jaw, 25 hp Tier 4F diesel, ~7,496 lb. The Kompatto 221’s 90 US tph headroom comfortably absorbs K-JC 503 output, leaving capacity in reserve for surges and oversized feed events. This is one of the most natural Komplet contractor-scale spreads — a tight-access urban demolition setup, a small contractor-scale on-site C&D recycling configuration, or a specialty hardscape stone production layout. Combined approximate cost: $108,695.73 (K-JC 503) + $104,935.48 (Kompatto 221) = ~$213,631.21.
K-JC 604 (Up to 55 US tph) — Natural Pairing
The K-JC 604 mobile jaw crusher produces up to 55 US tph through a 23″ × 16″ jaw, 55 hp Tier 4F diesel, ~19,400 lb. The Kompatto 221 still has comfortable headroom against K-JC 604 output, making this a good mid-range contractor pairing for operations producing crusher run, road base, parking lot base, and similar output specs at moderate volume. Combined approximate cost: $205,030.80 (K-JC 604) + $104,935.48 (Kompatto 221) = ~$309,966.28.
K-JC 704 PLUS (Up to 90 US tph) — Possible Pairing, but at the Edge
The K-JC 704 PLUS portable jaw crusher produces up to 90 US tph through a 27″ × 16″ jaw — Komplet America’s best-selling crusher and the workhorse for typical contractor demolition and on-site C&D recycling. At its full production rate, the K-JC 704 PLUS feeds the Kompatto 221 at the edge of its throughput envelope. The pairing works for operations running below the K-JC 704 PLUS’s full rate or for intermittent peak operation, but operations consistently running at the K-JC 704 PLUS’s full throughput are typically better served by stepping up to the Kompatto 5030 (up to 280 US tph) — Komplet America’s best-selling screener and the natural pairing for the K-JC 704 PLUS at scale.
K-JC 805 (Up to 160 US tph) — Not the Right Pairing
The K-JC 805 mobile jaw crusher produces up to 160 US tph and is the largest jaw crusher in the Komplet lineup. The Kompatto 221 cannot keep up with K-JC 805 output at sustained rates; pairing them creates a fundamental throughput mismatch. K-JC 805 operations should pair with the Kompatto 5030 (up to 280 US tph) or Kompatto 124 (up to 350 tph), which is the largest mobile scalping screen in the Komplet lineup.
Standalone Operation — Compost, Topsoil, Mulch, Soil
The Kompatto 221 also runs as a standalone screener — without a crusher feeding it — for operations processing compost, topsoil, mulch, soil, and similar pre-sized organic and earthwork material. Loader feeds the hopper directly; the Kompatto 221 separates the material into spec cuts. For dedicated compost, topsoil, or mulch operations at higher throughput, the K-TS 30 or K-TS 40 trommel screeners may be the better choice — trommels are typically more forgiving on wet, sticky, or fibrous organic material than vibrating scalping screens.
Where the Kompatto 221 Fits
The Kompatto 221 is engineered for contractor-scale and small commercial operations. Typical fit profiles include:
- Tight-access urban demolition recycling — urban jobsites where the Kompatto 5030’s larger footprint does not fit, and where the K-JC 503 + Kompatto 221 combination delivers a complete crushing-and-screening spread within the available staging area
- Contractor-scale on-site C&D recycling — smaller demolition contractors processing project demolition material into RCA for project base, fill, and drainage applications without needing the Kompatto 5030’s higher throughput
- Specialty hardscape stone and decorative aggregate production — operations producing modest volumes of decorative aggregate, hardscape stone, or specialty landscape product where precision spec separation matters more than throughput
- Compost, topsoil, mulch, and landscape supply operations — standalone screening of organic and earthwork material into spec cuts for landscape supply, garden centers, and contractor sales
- Soil screening for excavation and site contractors — separating excavated soil into reusable fill grade, oversize rock, and rejected debris on excavation projects
- Rental fleet inclusion — compact size, tracked transport, and intuitive operation make the Kompatto 221 a strong rental-fleet candidate for rental houses serving contractor customers
Where the Kompatto 221 Is Not the Right Fit
The Kompatto 221 is the right tool for operations within its throughput and physical-size envelope. Where it is not the right fit:
- High-throughput operations above 90 US tph sustained — step up to the Kompatto 5030 (up to 280 US tph) or Kompatto 124 (up to 350 tph). The Kompatto 5030 is Komplet America’s best-selling screener; the Kompatto 124 is the largest mobile scalping screen in the Komplet lineup.
- Wet, sticky, or heavily fibrous organic material — vibrating scalping screens can struggle with material that bridges or sticks to the screen mesh. Operations dedicated to compost, topsoil, mulch, or organics processing may be better served by the K-TS 30 or K-TS 40 trommel screeners, which use a rotating drum design that handles those materials more forgivingly.
- Industrial-scale fixed-plant screening — operations running fixed-plant screening at industrial scale need fixed-plant screening equipment outside Komplet’s compact-mobile category.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Kompatto 221 actually do?
The Kompatto 221 is a vibrating scalping screener — it takes a single mixed-size feed pile (crusher output, soil, compost, topsoil, mulch, etc.) and separates it into three discrete spec cuts (oversize, mid-fraction, fines) in a single pass. The two-deck 7′ × 3.5′ screening surface uses interchangeable mesh and screen panels that the operator selects based on the target output spec. The result is multiple spec stockpiles ready for resale or use, produced from one feed pile.
Which Komplet jaw crushers pair naturally with the Kompatto 221?
The Kompatto 221’s 90 US tph throughput pairs naturally with the K-JC 503 (up to 34 US tph) and the K-JC 604 (up to 55 US tph). The K-JC 704 PLUS (up to 90 US tph) feeds the Kompatto 221 at the edge of its envelope — workable for operations below full crusher rate, but operations consistently at full K-JC 704 PLUS rate are typically better served by the Kompatto 5030 (up to 280 US tph). The K-JC 805 (up to 160 US tph) overruns the Kompatto 221 and should be paired with the Kompatto 5030 or Kompatto 124 instead.
Can the Kompatto 221 be used standalone without a crusher?
Yes. The Kompatto 221 also runs as a standalone screener for compost, topsoil, mulch, and pre-sized soil or earthwork material. A loader feeds the hopper directly; the Kompatto 221 separates the material into spec cuts. For dedicated compost or organic-feedstock operations at higher throughput, the K-TS 30 or K-TS 40 trommel screeners may be the better choice.
How small is the Kompatto 221’s footprint?
The Kompatto 221 is Komplet America’s smallest self-propelled scalper at approximately 7,275 lb operating weight. Its tracked, self-propelled chassis transports easily on standard equipment trailers and walks itself into position on the jobsite under wireless remote control. For specific footprint and transport dimensions, request a Kompatto 221 spec sheet from Komplet America at (908) 663-5602 or your authorized Komplet dealer.
How many spec cuts does the Kompatto 221 produce?
The two-deck 7′ × 3.5′ screening surface produces three discrete output streams in a single pass — oversize (top deck reject), mid-fraction (between the decks), and fines (through the lower deck). The output sizes are determined by the screen mesh and panel selection installed at the time of operation; mesh and panels are interchangeable so the operator can change spec cuts based on the day’s target output.
Does the Kompatto 221 process wet or sticky material?
Vibrating scalping screens can struggle with wet, sticky, or heavily fibrous material that bridges or sticks to the screen mesh. The Kompatto 221 handles dry to moderately moist material well; very wet or sticky material may bridge on the screen and require periodic clearing. For dedicated wet-organic screening (wet compost, sticky topsoil with high clay content, fibrous mulch), the K-TS 30 or K-TS 40 trommel screeners are typically more forgiving — the rotating drum design handles those materials with less bridging risk than a vibrating scalping screen.
How is the Kompatto 221 priced versus the Kompatto 5030?
The Kompatto 221 is approximately $104,935.48; the Kompatto 5030 is approximately $209,061.45. The price difference reflects the throughput tier (90 vs. 280 US tph), screen size (7′ × 3.5′ vs. 8′ × 3’2″ / 7′ × 3’2″), engine size (25 hp vs. 45 hp), and operating weight (~7,275 lb vs. ~26,455 lb). Match the screener to your throughput requirement and crusher pairing — there is no point paying for capacity you will not use, and there is no point underbuying capacity that creates a workflow bottleneck.
Is operator training included with the Kompatto 221?
Yes. All new Komplet equipment ships with comprehensive operator training as part of equipment delivery through authorized dealers. Training covers pre-shift inspection per OEM specifications, safe operational practices (including wireless remote operation, lockout/tagout, and emergency procedures), screen mesh changes, vibrating-mechanism maintenance, hydraulic adjustment procedures, material feed best practices, and troubleshooting common operational issues. Refresher training and training for new operators is available on request through your authorized Komplet dealer.
What warranty applies to the Kompatto 221?
All new Komplet equipment, including the Kompatto 221, comes with a 1-year / 1,000-hour warranty (whichever is earlier). Komplet America stocks parts in New Jersey and ships to wherever the equipment is operating. Confirm warranty terms and pre-owned warranty options with your authorized Komplet dealer or with Komplet America at (908) 663-5602.
Final Thoughts
The Kompatto 221 is Komplet America’s smallest self-propelled vibrating scalping screener — engineered for contractor-scale and small commercial operations that need precise spec-cut separation without the throughput, footprint, or capital of the larger Kompatto 5030 or Kompatto 124. Paired with the K-JC 503 or K-JC 604, it forms a tight, mobile, contractor-scale crushing-and-screening spread that fits jobsites where larger spreads do not. Standalone, it covers compost, topsoil, mulch, and soil screening for landscape supply and excavation operations.
Match the screener to the throughput requirement and the crusher pairing. The Kompatto 221 is not the right tool for operations consistently running above its 90 US tph envelope, for wet sticky organic material that suits a trommel design better, or for industrial-scale fixed-plant screening. For the operations that fit the envelope, it delivers well-engineered compact-mobile screening at the smallest footprint and the lowest capital point in the Komplet screener lineup.
