Designed for large-scale material processing and screening, the ALLU M series bucket is compatible with large excavators and wheel loaders, delivering exceptional performance in demanding environments.
Built for versatility, it is suitable for a wide range of applications in mining, quarrying, and other heavy industries. The M series can screen, crush, mix and load materials in a single step, streamlining operations by reducing double handling, equipment requirements and manual labour.
By integrating multiple functions into one attachment, operations can improve productivity, lower operational costs and minimise environmental impact by reducing transport and double handling.
“With ALLU the operators can transform their excavator, wheel loader and skid steer into a multifunctional tool that will screen, mix, aerate and load all in a one-step operation,” Total Rockbreaking Solutions (TRS) sales manager Adam Leece said.
“By using ALLU, companies can reduce costs as there is less materials to landfills and processed materials can be re-used onsite.”
Gold mining – real-world results
In the Kalgoorlie region of Western Australia, a mining company saw immediate efficiency gains when they initially hired an ALLU DH 3-23 with X75 blades to process gold ore stockpiles.
Fitted to a Komatsu PC490, the ALLU bucket worked directly at the ore stockpiles, processing material into two piles: fines sent straight to the mill for gold production, and oversize rock sent to the crusher to be crushed into a smaller and useable product.
This eliminated the previous time-consuming process of loading and transporting material 30–40km to a static grizzly, avoiding multiple rehandling steps, extra equipment and associated costs. The result:
- processing completed in 19 minutes 48 seconds, averaging 211.88 tonnes per hour
- one less wheel loader and operator required
- reduced maintenance and transport costs
“It is not only the time savings but also saving on maintenance and labour cost as with the ALLU DH3-23 bucket there is one less wheel loader and operator needed in this application,” Leece said.
For gold miners, the ability to work directly at the stockpile and process on-site means reduced haulage costs and faster throughput to the mill. These same advantages apply to other mining sectors where efficiency and cost control are critical.
Global reach, local support
Manufactured in Finland for durability and performance, ALLU buckets are distributed in over 30 countries and supported locally in Australia by an authorised dealer network offering sales, service, and maintenance.
