Introduction

Excavator bucket manufacturer BONOVO customizes bucket size for 200ton CAT excavator. BONOVO, a leading provider of customized excavator buckets, recently collaborated with a mining company to tailor-make an extra heavy-duty bucket for their CAT 200ton excavator. The resulting bucket, designed specifically for mountain mining, boasts a capacity of 12 m³ and a weight of 15 tons, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency in challenging terrains.

Case Study

Situation:

The mining company, operating in rugged mountainous regions, faced inefficiencies and operational challenges with their standard excavator buckets. The existing buckets lacked the durability and capacity required to effectively extract materials from the mines, leading to prolonged extraction times and increased downtime.

Objective:

To enhance mining operations by equipping the CAT 200ton excavator with a customized bucket capable of withstanding the harsh conditions of mountain mining while increasing productivity and reducing operational costs.

Solution

Recognizing the unique requirements of the mining company, BONOVO collaborated closely with their engineering team to develop a tailored solution. Leveraging their expertise in bucket design and manufacturing, BONOVO engineers meticulously crafted an extra heavy-duty bucket specifically optimized for the CAT 200ton excavator.

Key Features

1. Enhanced Durability:

Constructed from high-strength steel and reinforced with strategically placed reinforcements, the custom bucket is built to withstand the extreme forces encountered in mountainous mining environments.

2. Increased Capacity: 

‍

With a spacious capacity of 12 m³, the bucket enables the excavator to efficiently handle larger volumes of materials, minimizing the need for frequent dumping and increasing overall productivity.

3. Optimized Weight: 

Despite its robust construction, the bucket is engineered to maintain an optimal weight of 15 tons, ensuring compatibility with the CAT 200 excavator's specifications and preserving fuel efficiency.

4. Advanced Design: 

The bucket's innovative design incorporates features such as optimized geometry and strategically positioned teeth, facilitating smooth penetration and efficient material retention during excavation operations.

Results

Upon implementation of the custom bucket by BONOVO, the mining company experienced a significant improvement in their operational efficiency and productivity. The enhanced durability and increased capacity of the bucket allowed the CAT 6020 excavator to tackle the challenges of mountain mining with ease, resulting in:

1. Reduced Downtime:

The durability of the custom bucket minimized wear and tear, leading to fewer maintenance intervals and reduced downtime for repairs.

2. Enhanced Productivity: 

The larger capacity of the bucket enabled the excavator to extract more materials in each cycle, streamlining the mining process and increasing overall productivity.

3. Cost Savings:

By optimizing operational efficiency and minimizing downtime, the mining company realized cost savings in terms of maintenance expenses and fuel consumption.

4. Improved Safety: 

The robust construction and advanced design features of the custom bucket contributed to a safer working environment for operators, mitigating risks associated with equipment failure and accidents.

Conclusion

The successful collaboration between BONOVO and the mining company resulted in the development of a customized excavator bucket tailored to the specific requirements of mountain mining operations. By providing enhanced durability, increased capacity, and optimized performance, the custom bucket has significantly improved operational efficiency, productivity, and safety. This partnership exemplifies the dedication of the excavator bucket manufacturer BONOVO to delivering innovative solutions that empower clients to succeed in demanding environments.
