Bucket Refurbs

What Are Clam Bucket Refurbs?

Clam buckets are vital tools in recycling, construction, and waste management, designed to lift, grab, and transport heavy or loose materials. Over time, constant wear, impact, and exposure to abrasive debris can lead to cracks, worn edges, and reduced functionality.

Clam bucket refurbishments involve repairing, reinforcing, and restoring these essential components to ensure they maintain optimal performance under the toughest conditions. At ADR Plant Solutions, we specialise in refurbishing clam buckets to extend their lifespan, reduce downtime, and save you money on costly replacements.

How Our Clam Bucket Refurbishment Services Work

01
Inspection and Assessment
  • Our process begins with a thorough inspection to identify:
    Cracks or fractures caused by heavy loads or impact.
    Worn cutting edges and bucket teeth.
    Damaged hinges, pins, and hydraulic connections.
02
Surface and Structural Repairs

Using coded welding techniques, we repair cracks and fractures, restoring the bucket’s structural integrity. Key processes include:

  • Hard-Facing: Reinforcing high-wear areas with abrasion-resistant materials.
  • Edge and Teeth Replacement: Replacing worn cutting edges and bucket teeth to improve grip and efficiency.
  • Reinforcement Welding: Adding strength to vulnerable areas prone to wear or damage.
03
Pin and Hinge Reconditioning

Hinges and pins are often subject to heavy stress, leading to play and reduced functionality. We:

  • Replace worn pins and bushings with precision-fit components.
  • Realign and repair hinge points for smooth operation.
04
Hydraulic System Repairs (if applicable)
  • Ensuring hydraulic systems and connections are leak-free and functional to provide full gripping force.
05
Finishing and Quality Assurance

We grind, smooth, and finish the refurbished clam bucket for a clean, professional result. Rigorous testing ensures:

  • Structural strength under heavy loads.
  • Cutting edge performance for material handling.
  • Full operational functionality with minimal downtime.
