or
stainless steel
STYLE:
CC Digger.
DESIGN:
High speed centrifugal discharge.
material:
Carbon Steel or Stainless Steel.
METHOD OF MANUFACTURE:
Fabricated.
STANDARD CONSTRUCTION:
The CC style digger bucket utilizes a
4-piece design consisting of two end plates, pressed formed body,
and wear lip. Please note that there is no taper on the sides of the
bucket. The ends are continuously welded on the outside.
CONSTRUCTION OPTIONS:
AR plating or hard bead weld.
MATERIAL THICKNESS:
Carbon: 12 ga., 10 ga., Stainless: 12 ga.,
14 ga.
DRILLING:
No charge for standard belt drillings.
VENTING:
Venting available on request, contact Tapco for
recommendations.
USABLE CAPACITY:
Net or usable capacity could range from 10% to
20%above water level. For engineering purposes Tapco recommends
using WL (Water Level) + 10% for usable capacity.
SPACING:
Minimum bucket spacing has historically been nominal
projection plus 2". Many style CC buckets, however, are being used
at projection plus 1"
,
and some even closer. For engineering purposes
Tapco recommends using nominal projection plus 2".
INTERCHANGEABILITY:
Can be intermixed with existing fabricated and
nonmetallic CC style buckets. If different weight buckets are mixed
in, some care should be taken that the leg does not become too far
out of balance. Check elevator for proper clearances. Contact Tapco
for recommendations.
INSTALLATION:
Fanged elevator bolts and nylon insert lock nuts are
recommended for pulleys 6" in diameter and over. No. 3 Eclipse slotted
head elevator bolts are recommended for pulleys under 6" in diameter.
Flat steel washers must be placed inside the bucket under the
nuts.
Check elevator for proper clearances.
CAUTION:
Welding and cutting on elevator legs without taking
proper precautions is extremely dangerous and can cause a violent
explosion.
