Professionals in construction and bulk material handling are all too familiar with common pain points: clamshell buckets that leak wet coal during transport, mismatched attachments that fail to deliver sufficient grabbing force, or flimsy designs requiring frequent repairs—all of which waste time and erode profits. The HOMIE Hydraulic Clamshell Bucket is not just another generic attachment; it is purpose-built to resolve these exact challenges. Exclusively designed for 6-30 ton excavators, it is customized to integrate seamlessly with your machinery, whether you are handling minerals in mines, loading coal at power plants, or moving sand and gravel at construction sites.
1. Precision Matching to Your Excavator: Eliminate "Mismatch Frustrations"
HOMIE’s clamshell bucket rejects a "one-size-fits-all" approach—instead, it is tailored to your excavator’s?actual operational requirements.
For instance:
- If you operate a 30-ton excavator in mining applications, we adjust the bucket’s grabbing force to handle heavy ore (up to 80kN) and prevent slippage.
- If you use a 6-ton excavator for sand and gravel handling, we optimize the opening/closing speed (1.2 seconds per cycle) to increase the number of loads per hour.
Our process begins with a detailed assessment of your excavator’s hydraulic pressure, stick stroke, and even the primary material you handle. The end result is a bucket that integrates seamlessly with your machine’s hydraulic system—no lag, no weak grabbing, just consistent, full-power performance with every operation.
2. Custom Solutions for Your Unique Operational Needs
Every job has distinct requirements—and generic buckets cannot adapt to these nuances. That’s why we offer?job-specific customization, going beyond mere adjustments to size or weight. Below are examples of tailored modifications we have implemented for clients:
- A coal yard requiring leak-free handling of wet, sticky coal: We integrated rubber gaskets along the bucket’s edge and applied an anti-adhesive coating to the interior—eliminating coal spillage during transit.
- A quarry handling large limestone blocks: We reinforced the bucket teeth with tungsten carbide tips and thickened the bucket body with heavy-duty steel to prevent deformation.
- A logistics hub loading bulk grain: We smoothed the bucket’s inner surface (removing sharp edges) to avoid grain jams and reduced the opening size to control material flow.
Share the challenges slowing down your operations, and we will engineer a bucket to address them directly.
3. Core Application Areas: Optimized for High-Impact Tasks
This bucket is not just "versatile"—it is engineered to excel at the tasks that define your daily productivity:
- Mining & Quarrying
When handling hard minerals (iron ore, limestone) or loose rock, the reinforced bucket body and sharp, wear-resistant teeth ensure secure grabbing without slippage. Clients report a 15% reduction in material loss after switching to HOMIE, eliminating the inefficiency of dropped ore mid-transport (which wastes fuel and labor).
- Coal & Power Plants
Whether handling wet, dry, fine, or lumpy coal, this bucket delivers reliable performance. The optional leak-proof gaskets prevent spillage, while 360° rotation allows direct dumping into train cars or hoppers—no need to reposition the excavator. One power plant client increased their daily loading capacity from 6 to 8 train cars after adopting HOMIE.
- Construction & Sand/Gravel Yards
For moving sand, gravel, or excavated earth, the bucket’s large capacity (up to 3 cubic meters for 30-ton excavators) maximizes load volume per scoop. Compared to a standard 2-cubic-meter bucket, this translates to a 50% increase in material per load—equating to 2-3 additional truckloads moved daily.
4. Key Features Designed for Operational Efficiency
Every component of this bucket is engineered to?enhance productivity and minimize downtime, rather than just meeting basic specifications:
- Large Capacity for Faster Hauling
Bucket capacity is calibrated to match your excavator’s lifting capacity—avoiding overloading smaller machines or underutilizing larger ones. For a 20-ton excavator, our 2-cubic-meter bucket can handle 2.5 tons of gravel per scoop (compared to 1.8 tons with generic buckets), translating to over 15 additional tons moved per 8-hour shift.
- 360° Rotation for Flexible Positioning
In tight spaces (e.g., between material piles or beside trucks), repositioning the excavator was once a time-consuming necessity. With 360° rotation, operators can align the bucket directly with trucks or piles—saving up to 10 minutes per hour, or 80 additional minutes of loading time daily, according to client feedback.
- Durable Construction for Longevity
We use high-grade high-strength steel for the bucket body (outperforming standard low-alloy steel) and apply a "quenching + tempering" heat treatment process. This results in a bucket with significantly enhanced wear resistance compared to generic alternatives. Clients report:
- Bucket teeth deliver far longer service life than budget-friendly options.
- No deformation or cracking, even when handling heavy loads like 5-ton limestone blocks.
- Simplified Maintenance to Reduce Downtime
We prioritize ease of maintenance to keep your operations running:
- Critical components (e.g., rotation bearings) feature accessible grease fittings—lubrication takes 5 minutes, no disassembly required.
- Bucket teeth use a bolt-on design, allowing replacement of individual teeth without removing the entire bucket.
- The hydraulic system is streamlined, enabling on-site mechanics to resolve minor issues in under an hour.
5. Why HOMIE Stands Out: Beyond "Quality"
Many brands claim to offer "high-quality" buckets—here’s what differentiates HOMIE:
- Faster Delivery: Generic custom buckets typically take 45 days; we deliver within 20 days, thanks to our in-stock inventory of key steel components.
- No Hidden Costs: Our customization package includes all necessary accessories (e.g., rubber gaskets, reinforced teeth)—no unexpected surcharges post-purchase.
- Free Compatibility Assessment: Provide your excavator model (e.g., CAT 320, SANY SY215) and primary material type, and we will deliver a free compatibility plan—ensuring full transparency on what you receive.
Conclusion
Ultimately, a clamshell bucket is more than just a piece of metal—it is a critical tool that directly impacts your ability to move material efficiently, control costs, and meet project deadlines. The HOMIE Hydraulic Clamshell Bucket is engineered with this reality in mind: it solves the specific pain points that slow down your operations, adapts to your unique workflow, and delivers consistent performance that you can rely on day after day.
If your current bucket is causing leaks, underperforming, or requiring constant repairs, it’s time to upgrade to a solution that’s built for?your?needs. Contact the HOMIE team today to share your operational challenges—we’ll work with you to design a custom clamshell bucket that integrates seamlessly with your 6-30 ton excavator, boosts your handling efficiency, and helps you maximize your bottom line.
In the competitive world of bulk material handling, efficiency is the key to success. HOMIE helps you unlock that efficiency—one optimized grab at a time.
