As the saying goes, "If workers want to do a good job, they must first sharpen their tools." So what kind of bucket is suitable? Choosing the right bucket requires considering the "three decisive factors" of the mucking rock loader, the impact of the material on the bucket, and the material density.
The crawler mucking loader features a low body, a transverse cab layout, smooth or semi-smooth underground mining cut-resistant diagonal tires, and a diesel exhaust purification device.
To meet the needs of different mines and operations, the mucking rock loader manufacturer provides various optional parts in addition to standard configuration models, based on the different physical and mechanical properties of the ore and operating conditions. For example, buckets of different capacities and shapes are equipped according to the ore density; in addition to the standard front-mounted bucket, push buckets, side-mounted buckets, and high-lift buckets can also be provided based on the unloading method.
The bucket is the working device of the mini mucking loader, directly in contact with the working environment such as soil and sand, so it requires wear resistance and impact resistance. At the same time, since the bucket is a vulnerable part of the loader, the spare parts market is vast.
Due to the different working locations and application objects of the crawler mucking loader, various buckets can be equipped, but it is essential to pay attention to the matching of the overall machine performance. For example, to improve the working efficiency of the bucket excavation, a larger bucket can replace the rock bucket. However, to adapt to rock operations, a standard bucket should be replaced with a rock bucket of the same volume as in ordinary machines, to avoid damaging the overall machine performance and causing quality issues due to improper use of the bucket rod and boom.
To extend the service life of the crawler mucking loader's bucket, in addition to ensuring sufficient strength and rigidity, higher requirements are also placed on fatigue strength and wear resistance. Typically, the bucket teeth are designed as two detachable parts, welded to the main body, referred to as the tooth seat, while the detachable part is called the tooth. The bucket tooth seat, side blade, and arc reinforcement plate should be made of materials with high strength, wear resistance, and good weldability.
