Bucket wheel excavator is a key machine to complete mining and excavation application in the continuous mining, transportation and discharge process.
It is applied to the large-scale project with great amount of exploitation and long length of service to applications in open-pit mines and large-scale earthworks. Bucket wheel excavator can operate continuously with high efficiency and low consumption. The bucket wheel excavator can be used for rock stripping operations as an alternative solution for drilling and blasting process. The machine can effectively reduce harmful emissions in aspect of environmental protection. Besides, bucket wheel excavators are applicable for the exploitation of soft mines in good conditions.
Depending on the equipment structure and rated production rate, the bucket wheel excavator can be categorized as discharge connecting bridge type for large-scale mining application, discharge boom type for compact type mining application and discharge connecting bridge type for giant mining application.
The bucket wheel excavator is a kind of mining machine which can work continuously.
It presents the features of small linear size, light weight, large excavation capacity, high production rate, excellent adaptability and outstanding energy conservation and environmental protection performance(Bucket Wheel Excavator, n.d.).
It is designed for excavating large quantities of material efficiently and quickly(What Is Bucket Wheel Excavator and Reclaimer?, n.d.).
