Excavators (bucket wheel or bucket chain)

Bucket wheel and bucket chain excavators are important products designed for mining the overburden. The first bucket chain excavator of our own construction called D 800 was manufactured in 1952, with an output of 1 050 m3/h and moved on rails. The most effective bucket chain excavator is marked RK 5000 and it achieves an output of 5 000 m3/h of excavated overburden.

Our production range covers also the biggest digging wheel excavator of the Czech Republic, the K 10000, which has been working with an output of 10 000 m3/h of excavated overburden in Bílina mine since 1978.

Bucket-chain and bucket-wheel excavators are designed according to specific requests of customers, always with respect to the actual mining conditions in which they will operate.
