For more than 70 years, ESCO Corporation has been the leading choice of dragline mining operations around the world. In striving to optimize productivity, ESCO is introducing the ProFill dragline bucket.
The ProFill bucket is specifically designed to improve dragline productivity, by filling faster with minimal drag energy and improved payload. ESCO recognizes that every mining operation is different. The ProFill bucket is customized for each mining operation. The ProFill is also equipped with ESCO’s Posilok® Plus mining tooth system, with the enhanced safety of a hammerless locking device.

Improvements to the RPM Include:
- New fabrication techniques for top rails and trunnions
- Improved casting design for better durability in top corner area
- Optional bottom corner design for improved strength and durability
- Optional straight lip configuration with S-Series Posilok tooth system
- Optional Liner Packages

The RPM II bucket has had tremendous success, consistently aiding mines in improving productivity. Its core features remain unaltered.
- Increased penetration – patented geometry capitalizes on the RSL to utilize the weight of the bucket for increased penetration
- Cast front ring – the RPM II cast front ring components offer better strength and durability than other models
- Dumping characteristics – lower mounted, integral trunnions provide more vertical bucket hang resulting in smoother, cleaner dumping for the RPM II; fine tuning in conjunction with ESCO rigging provides optimized dump and recovery speeds and reduced cycle times
- Wear protection – market leading S-Series Posilok tooth system and Toplok mechanical shrouds are a safer, more economical means of bucket protection
|
Recognized by mines worldwide as a major innovation in dragline productivity,
the ESCO RSL provides faster fill than conventional straight lips.
 As the bucket
engages the cut, the rear of the bucket lifts slightly, pulling the center teeth out
of the material. With the force concentrated on the corner teeth, there is less
resistance and the bucket penetrates better.
|
|
- Concentrated drag forces on the corner teeth for
improved penetration
- Optimized design for fast fill
- Improved material flow
- Wing protection with
field-proven Toplok
shrouds
