Innovative Mining Solution Finalist: Engineered Bucket Solutions

Jessica Darnbrough

Engineered Bucket Solutions are finalists in the 5th Annual Australian Mining Prospect Awards for their new style excavator bucket.

Kevin Abbott and business associate Paul Tsaclis have designed and patented a new style excavator bucket that does not have a requirement for traditional heel blocks, has a curve in the lip and requires much less wear protection than a traditional designed bucket.

According to the company, the bucket design is far superior in maintenance requirements and has better production performance because it penetrates the ground easier and has a significant weight reduction over conventional buckets.
