Performance Statement
High performance excavator skeleton digging buckets
from
eiengineering
will improve your productivity
and performance through:
Superior bucket breakout force and penetration
through short pin to point bucket design
Improved bucket geometry for more efficient digging
and loading of material
Heavy duty robust construction for increased
strength and durability
Flexibility - any bucket width - depth – capacity
Are designed to comply with OH&S requirements
Ribs are interlocked for strength and longer bucket
life
The application determines the shape of the skeleton
bucket - the GP digging bucket design offers much
greater bucket capacity in the depth of the bucket,
but is not very wide in the bucket opening. It is
the ideal bucket when excavating rock. The mud
bucket style gives a wider opening, but doesn’t have
a lot of depth and is more suitable in a clean-up
and sorting environment such as demolition.
Rock
The Digging Bucket style is usually used in a rock
digging environment. For this application, the width
of the bucket is not as important as bucket depth
and the spacing between the ribs may be up to 150mm
to ensure all dirt, clay or sub-structure is allowed
to escape from the bucket easily. This bucket is
based on our GP digging bucket and has the same
double radius design structure for increased
strength, capacity and digging ability
Demolition
The mud bucket designed skeleton bucket is usually
used in demolition for sorting bricks and other
rubble from dirt. This may be supplied with teeth or
a bolt on edge, however it is important that the
bucket is not built too wide, as this may cause
damage to the dipper arm of the excavator if the
edge of the bucket gets snagged.
Skeleton Bucket Construction
Because of the nature of the material being sorted,
whether your application is for a Mud Bucket or
digging bucket, the bucket should always be
manufactured from Bisalloy as a minimum for maximum
durability and reliability.
What to look for in a skeleton digging bucket
Heavy Duty Top Box for added strength and durability
Short pin to point for improved bucket breakout
Superior bucket design for more efficient digging
and bucket fills
Bucket width and capacity matched to your
application
High strength steel used in construction
Choice of bucket teeth available
eiengineering Skeleton Digging Bucket Design
The majority of
eiengineering
excavator buckets are
characterized by the double radius backplate. The
majority of competitor’s buckets have a single
radius backplate which, while reducing the
manufacturing cost of the bucket, also reduces its
performance. Because of the bucket design, the flat
bottom of the single radius bucket ploughs the
ground creating more strain on the excavator and
reducing bucket fills.
The double radius shape also allows the
eiengineering
bucket to follow the teeth through the
cut, promoting the efficient digging and loading of
materials into the bucket, which results in buckets
that load easier and fill quicker than the majority
of conventional excavator buckets.
The bucket top box is designed to provide maximum
strength through the bucket from the hangers for
maximum digging power
Tapered design reduces bucket drag ensuring maximum
efficiency as only the bucket teeth and side cutting
edges are impacting the cut
The double radius design also ensures the load is
kept high in the bucket maximizing capacity. The
double radius offer greater bucket depth increasing
capacity by around 10% over traditional buckets.
Shorter bucket pin-to-point improves penetration and
force required for the cut.
All
eiengineering
buckets are made from Bisalloy,
which is 3.1 times stronger than mild steel. This
ensures more strength and less weight which means
greater capacities, less fuel consumption and less
load on the excavator.
The Benefits
The benefits you will experience are:
Earn more money moving more material - greater
payload per bucket load – 10% more in every fill
than a traditional single radius bucket, without
losing any digging ability.
Reduce fuel costs – because the bucket digs easier
with less drag, fuel costs will be reduced
Save time – more bucket capacity means less time
behind the controls, saving fuel and employee costs
Reduced servicing costs because the excavator is not
working as hard
Bisalloy construction means longer working life of
the bucket and less downtime carrying out expensive
repairs or modifications
What you get as standard
All of our buckets are delivered with teeth and
adaptors, bucket pins and side cutters designed to
protect the side cutting edges from premature wear.
Teeth and adaptors available are Hensley, Esco,
Caterpillar, Keech.
