So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

When Selecting A Sieve Bucket For A Backhoe Or Excavator Check These Six Things

By Pete Theron


When you're screening, sieving and sorting materials (such as sand, slag, bricks and rubble) you need a bucket that's going to go the distance. Here is a quick 6-item checklist you can use to ensure you get the best possible sorting bucket for your application.

1. Strength in the bottom end. You need sufficient strength in the bottom end to support and carry the load in the bucket across the width of the bucket. The sieve bucket should be built should be built so that the baseplate and curved backplate form a rigid composite beam to provide the strength needed in the bottom end. Strength in the bottom end of your sieve bucket will give you years of trouble free operation.

2. Shape Of The Bucket. Look for screening buckets with the right width, capacity combination to suit your application. The sorting bucket shape should promote efficient loading of materials no matter what their density it, or the truck or bin capacity or digging conditions.

3. Design Of Sieve Bucket. If you have a robustly designed sieve buckets you will be able to move rock, coal, gravel, sand or even hot materials such as steel slag. A sieve bucket that is designed to suit your particular purpose should be built from robust materials that will ensure increased capacity, reliability and durability.

4. Aperture And Rib Size. It is important to select an aperture size that suits the materials that you intend to sort. Interlocking ribs allow finer material to fall through the sorting bucket while bigger materials such as bricks and rubble are retained.

5. Short pin-to-point. A short pin-to-point ensures better digging (bucket breakout force).

6. Cutting Edge And Side Cutting Edges. Effective digging requires good penetration of the bucket into the material it is handling. This is determined largely by the shape of the cutting edge and the side cutting edges. The cutting edge on sieve buckets for excavators can be fitted with either teeth and adaptors or bolt-on-edge. Depending on your application, screening buckets can be fitted with side wear patches and corner-wear strips to reduce wear and tear on the sorting bucket.
