Production Master^®

The Production Master shovel dipper is a rugged, field proven bucket that has stood the test of some of the toughest mines in the world. From coal to dense iron ore, the Production Master dipper digs efficiently. The "high wing" style cast lip improves loading and lowers maintenance costs. Additional durability is provided by the hoist lugs integral to the shell of the dipper. The ESCO Production Master shovel dipper bucket is built and fitted to match the conditions at various mining operations.

Features and benefits of the ESCO Production Master:

• Minimum lip-to-door dimension improves penetration and loading
• Corner teeth are flared to cut clearance resulting in less wear on corners, wings and sides of dipper
• Abrasion and impact resistant ESCO Super V teeth for long life and faster change-out
• Durable beam design distributes stress throughout the body of the dipper and reduces flexing without adding extra weight
• Taller lip wing offers reduced spillage and an increased fill factor resulting in fewer passes during loading and less cleanup
• Increased wing shroud coverage with a second upper wing shroud for extra protection in critical wing areas
• Up to three corner heel bands for added durability and protection
• Pinless latch mechanism on door eliminates assembly pins, bushings and lubrication
• Kwik-Lok II wear runners for extra protection are easily rotated and changed out in the field
• Cast ripple liners or Kwik-Lok II runners protect inner bucket offering superior protection to inside of the dipper front and door

AMSCO® Maxi-Pro™ Line

When operating buckets from 20 cubic yards capacity to 56 cubic yards capacity, the AMSCO Maxi-Pro line of dippers will ensure greater productivity and efficiencies in operation.

Optimizing the ratio of the width of the lip to the depth of the bucket, these Maxi-Pro dippers retain time-tested features of standard AMSCO dippers; field tested pear shape design eliminates voids or hard to fill areas inside the dipper. This design coupled with the straight-line interior make dumping faster and cleaner.

AMSCO dippers benefit from being made of manganese castings in high wear areas. The advantage of structural castings is used to its fullest. Large compound radii, integrally-cast strengthening ribs, high strength box sections, and integral lugs and hinges are designed to optimum thicknesses. When weld joints are necessary, they are designed into low stress areas for maximum durability.

AMSCO Maxi-Pro Parts

ESCO engineers studied the wear characteristics of dippers to eliminate relatively short work cycles and lengthy repairs. Their solution: develop a dipper, every area of which is designed to wear to the point of repair at approximately the same time. The result is a dipper that typically performs in the field 5,000-8,000 hours without downtime for maintenance.

Combined with ESCO field and in-house testing capabilities, you have a bucket harder than ever to beat.

• The Maxi-Pro double curved lips are designed to optimize machine capabilities for greater penetration and loading
• AMSCO protects the high wear area of the heel with replaceable ESCOALLOY heel bands
• Mechanically attached AMSCO shrouds offer ESCO Toplok or c-clamp and wedge for ease of replacement
• AMSCO arched back design provides maximum strength increasing the fill factor
• Arched back design has line bored and bushed pin holes in the lugs for easier maintenance
• Dipper door utilizes “E-Z” latch system (no pins and keepers required) an integral mechanical lock between the lever and the bar reducing maintenance problems
• Maxi-Pro dipper includes a door with a replaceable lower section.
