Coal mining

Screening and crushing buckets for coal mining:

The ALLU M-Series bucket is designed for demanding mining applications where material handling efficiency, product quality, and cost per ton matter.

In coal mining, the biggest benefit is simple: process the material while you load it. ALLU buckets enable your wheel loader or excavator to separate harder waste rock from softer coal and crush the coal to the required size in one operation. Instead of moving run-of-mine material through several handling stages, you can produce a cleaner, sized material directly at the face, stockpile, or loading point.

This helps reduce double handling, unnecessary hauling of waste, and dependency on fixed crushing and screening plants. For suitable coal applications, the result is a more flexible production process with fewer machines, fewer material transfers, and better use of existing carriers.

Benefits in Coal Mining:

Waste rock separation while loading: In coal mining, harder waste rock can reduce product quality and increase unnecessary transport costs. The ALLU M-Series helps separate harder waste material from softer coal during loading. The bucket breaks down the softer coal while leaving harder material largely intact, making it possible to improve ROM quality before the material reaches the truck, conveyor, or plant.

Coal sizing in one operation:
The ALLU bucket can crush soft coal to the required size while loading. Interchangeable drums and adjustable crushing force make it possible to target typical product sizes depending on site requirements. This supports a more consistent material flow to downstream processing, stockpiling, or transport.

Lower cost per ton:
Traditional coal handling often involves loading, hauling, dumping, crushing, screening, and reloading. With ALLU, screening and crushing can happen as part of the loading cycle. This reduces double handling, fuel use, equipment hours, and stockpile management, helping mines drive down cost per ton.

Flexible production with existing machines:

The ALLU M-Series is a hydraulic attachment for large wheel loaders and excavators. It allows mines to use existing carrier machines for on-site crushing, screening, and loading instead of relying only on fixed or mobile crusher trains

A single operator can process and load material in one work cycle. In suitable conditions, this creates a leaner production setup with fewer separate machines, less intermediate handling, and faster movement between work areas.

For contractors, satellite pits, or mines operating under cost pressure, the attachment-based approach can also reduce capital risk. The bucket can be removed when the base machine is needed for other tasks, giving the operation more flexibility than a dedicated crusher or screen.

Built for demanding mining environments:

Coal mining is a high-wear, high-production environment. ALLU M-Series buckets are designed for heavy-duty operation in challenging mining conditions, with robust construction and components built for continuous use.

The M-Series has a proven track record in demanding applications where reliability and uptime are essential. With ALLU support, spare parts, service knowledge, and dealer network coverage, mining customers can keep production moving and reduce the risk of costly downtime.

Before committing to a larger M-Series setup, customers can first test the process with a smaller ALLU bucket. This makes it possible to prove how the material behaves, confirm screening and crushing results, and gather practical site-specific data before scaling the solution to full mining production.
