The Coteau Properties Company, which operates at the Freedom Mine near Beulah, ND, has a new bucket in rotation.
Earth Eater is the name the manufacturer gives this particular bucket, but its the style of the bucket that matters to Operations Manager Justin Burggraff. Burggraff said the placement of the chains, on the outside of the bucket rather than the inside, and the weight of the material used to make the bucket, are what should heighten productivity. When the chains are on the inside, they made it harder to carry the bucket. You had to pull it in closer to the machine to pick it up and carry it. And in addition, when the bucket dumped, the chains on the inside would only allow the bucket to go near vertical, but not vertical, Burggraff said. Every bit of reach that the dragline can gain helps us. If the dragline cannot reach the dirt into the spoil pile and build the correct spoil pile, they move less dirt than what they are projected to move, which means another piece of equipment has to pick that up. So, its important to us that the dragline is able to attain its maximum reach.
Burggraff said the buckets performance will be closely monitored to compare it with other buckets.
The Coteau Properties Company has five dragline buckets in rotation, two of which are this style.
