Is the excavator scoop easy to damage? Learn how to reinforce it

Everyone knows that the excavator scoop is the most widely used working device in the excavator operation, and it is also the working part of the excavator that bears the greatest load during the excavation operation. In other words, the reinforcement of the excavator scoop plays a very important role in the normal operation of the excavator. Today I will tell you how to reinforce the excavator bucket.

Data shows that an excavator consumes 4-5 buckets in an average of 8 years. Especially in the stone construction environment, the bucket wears faster, so the excavator scoop is a consumable part. When the bucket is worn to a certain degree, the excavator master must reinforce the bucket in time to effectively improve its service life.

In the process of bucket reinforcement, Huitong found that most of the excavator masters had misunderstandings. It is generally believed that only a bunch of steel plates need to be welded at will. In fact, such blind reinforcement of the bucket will do more harm than good to the excavator itself. To reinforce the bucket, you need to master scientific reinforcement methods. Huitong will explain to you one by one below.

Reinforce the excavator bucket should be cautious and do not operate blindly

The manufacturing technology of excavators has a history of more than one hundred years of development, and the bucket technology is also very mature. In the case of the excavator scoop without excessive wear, a wide range of welding reinforcement plates will destroy the stress of the bucket itself, increase the digging resistance, and sometimes accelerate the wear and cracking of the bucket.

If the bucket is protected in all directions, it will increase the weight of the bucket. A heavy excavator scoop will not only increase the fuel consumption of the equipment, but at the same time working under high load conditions will also have a considerable impact on the life of the equipment. Therefore, if the bucket is severely worn, it should be properly reinforced in a targeted manner rather than blindly reinforced.

Attention should be paid to the reinforcement of excavator bucket

Technicians with excellent welding skills are required to perform welding to ensure that the welding is firm and effective;

Partial welding is carried out to replace the overall welding in the parts that need to be strengthened most, so as to avoid reducing the efficiency of the excavator and increasing the fuel consumption;

Reinforcement experience of excavator bucket

Regularly observe the degree of wear of the side knife, bottom plate, side plate, and tooth root of the excavator scoop, and reinforce these areas if necessary;

The reinforcement of the tooth root mounting plate is very necessary. Reinforcement can be done by attaching stiffeners or wrapping with wear-resistant blocks; side knives can be installed on the side plates and sides to protect the side plates and reduce the wear of the side plates;

It is also necessary to strengthen the bottom plate. The reinforcing ribs of the bottom plate should be made of hard, wear-resistant long plates as raw materials, and the overall shape of the excavator scoop should be protected so as not to affect the cutting angle and affect the production capacity;

Maintain good operating habits

The standard operating habits of the excavator master can not only improve work efficiency, but also reduce the wear rate of the bucket and protect the excavator scoop.
