5 Bucket Chossing Fundamentals

Updated: Apr 4

Before you pick a size, you first

need to consider

 

1 . Excavator and location

Truck match: Bucket sizing starts with the

truck size

Impact conditions: How difficult it is to get

material out of the ground.

Material density: How much a bucket load

would weight, when 100% full.


Using a bucket that is too small burns

though not just fuel, but time as well,

because of extra digging and loading

cycles.


Using a bucket that´s too big places

unnecessary stress on your excavator and

can cause additional fuel burn by moving

more material than is recommended.



 


2. Tooth Spacing









 

3. Edge configuration


Straight Edge

Configurations provide for better cleaning and

finishing work. Our excavation buckets typically

have straight edges since they´re used in soil

work, site development and trenching.


Semi-delta Edge


Better penetration and faster cycle times in harder

materials. Our quarry-style buckets are often

configured with semi-delta edges, where breaking

ground is the primary requirement.


Sharp-delta Edge

For best penetration for extreme applications such

as ripping, breaking and loosening hard, closed rock

soils. Blade designed to concentrate excavator force

to the central tooth.



 

4. Materials


At Mazio, we understand very well how important are our suppliers. Especially

when it comes to steel, Mazio makes no compromises: Hardox Only !


What distinguishes Hardox from

others steel brands?


Hardox has proved that it is the

world's cleanest highalloy steel.

Less risk of subtle microcracks (the

most dangerous variant of cracks).

Hardox is the mots "pure" steel in

comparison with analogues, without

impurities:smoother welding, repeat of high quality cutting, bending, milling.

Smooth molecular structure due to

the smallest proportion of harmful

components.

Increased productivity in extreme

conditions, such as work at

temperatures minus 50, treatment of

acidic materials, etc.


 

5. Durability


Q: What´s the difference between General Duty (GP), Heavy Duty (HD),

Rock (RB), Higt Tip (HT), Light Materials (LM ), Coal (CB) and Heavy Duty

Rock Buckets (XHD)?

A: It´s the ability to withstand wear in different materials.


General Purpose Buckets (Gp)

Characteristics / Specific features


Equipped with straight cutter.

Any known tooth system and wearing parts can be applied.

Wide range of options, i.e. bolt-on cutting

edge, welded edge, lift hook, water holes, etc.

Customized versions available according to

the client´s individual requirements.


Range of application


For low to medium breakout forces.

To be used for standard excavation works.




 

Heavy Duty Buckets (Hd)

Characteristics / Specific features


Equipped with HARDOX 450 wear bars on

bottom and sides.

Any known tooth system and wearing parts can be applied.

Wide range of options, i.e. bolt-on cutting

edge, welded edge, lift hook, water holes, etc.

Customized versions available according to

the client´s individual requirements.


Range of application


For medium to high breakout forces.

To be used for any standard excavation works

with medium abrasive materials.





 

Rock / extra Duty Rock Buckets

(Rb-xhd)


Characteristics / Specific features


Bucket made of considerably thicker steel

than the general purpose bucket.

Equipped with additional wear plates;

you have the choice between straight cutter,

semi-spade nose and spade nose cutter.

Exclusive use of highly abrasion resistant steel.

Any known tooth system and wearing parts

can be applined.

Customized versions available according to

the client´s individual requirements.


Range of application

For works with extreme break-out and tear-out forces.

Excavation and loading of hard soils and rock.

Heavy-duty version for demolition and loading

works with high stress due to impact and abrasion.
