TAKRAF Bucket-Chain Excavators

TAKRAF Bucket-Chain Excavators are continuous mining machines with the ability to excavate or remove overburden, clay, ash and chalk significantly below the bench or travel level.

Applications and main components of a bucket-chain excavator

Bucket-chain excavators are particularly well suited to applications where there is significant ground instability or high ground water levels, such as tailing and ash ponds.

Bucket-chain excavators are available in different sizes, ranging from compact to large scale machines, each designed to meet specific site conditions and project requirements.

Depending on the type of operation, they are provided with a slewable superstructure, multi-segmented bucket ladder, and varying discharge boom systems.

As a major benefit to our customers, TAKRAF Group provides complete in-house design services, starting from cutting force investigations to mining operation optimization and machine sizing and bucket chain drive production.

These services include:

  • Rock testing
  • System sizing and arrangement
  • Design for semi-automatic operation
  • Special bucket and ladder design for different materials
  • Bucket chain drive, slew bearings and pulleys sourced from TAKRAF product centers
