Where are Clamshell Buckets used in Industrial Operations?
Applications used for loading and unloading bulk material from shipyards, ports, railway wagons, trucks, underwater dredging, etc. It improves the efficiency of industries like cement, mill scale, slurry, mucking, sand & gravel, coal mines, gas, steel, ports, shipyards, fertilizer, power plants, foundries, wood chips, construction, chemical plants, biomass, etc. We offer various types of grab buckets, from mechanical, hydraulic and electro-hydraulic. It can be used in any kind of environment for loading of soil, rock, hard soil, weathered granite, and hard rock.
Clamshell Bucket for Wood Chips & Grain
Our high-volume clamshell grab s buckets are designed to handle the low-density bulk cargo includes chips, grain, wood, and biomass, and ensure the maximum strength and reliability during operation.
Clamshell Bucket for Excavators
Clamshell buckets handle the loading & unloading of construction and industrial waste, grain, sand, rocks & so forth in addition to digging & dredging activities. A clamshell bucket for excavator can be mounted on heavy-duty machines or equipment with optional features with or without a rotator (360°).
Clamshell Buckets for Ship Cranes
It is designed to handle powder & fine bulk materials such as chemicals, fertilizer, grain, coal, coke, iron ore, sand, particle construction materials & smashed rocks, etc. Radio remote control grabs are useful for underwater digging in shipyards, marine environments, etc.
How do Clamshell Buckets optimize EOT Crane productivity?
We are manufacturers of clamshell buckets for cranes and supplies in various industries. These applications are ideal for the cement industry, ship industry, chemical industry, & construction industry. Therefore, electro-hydraulic grab bucket can easily handle heavy workloads. In addition, our clamshell bucket upgrades your overhead crane process and increase the 25% productivity and crane cycle. We have spent a long time involved in providing different custom grabs for this extraordinary work. On demand We design 100% waterproof functions to operate underwater
Clamshell Bucket for Underwater Dredging
APR Bright Industries delivers high-quality underwater material handling grab bucket in the types of electro-hydraulic grab bucket to handle the material. Our electro-hydraulic grabs are 100% waterproof and pressure-tested for depths up to 50 meters. Also, double-seal roller bearings to prevent the lubrication leakage underwater operation. Our clamshell bucket has the ability to handle the various types of underwater dredging because it is made with corrosion-resistant materials, water proof, and sealed components. We design clamshell buckets using hydraulic cylinders that help to make the operation successful with strong digging force.

Frequently Asked Question
Q: What is the estimated Return on Investment (ROI) of upgrading to one of your clamshell grabs?
Ans: The exact ROI depends upon operations, our grabs bucket ensure the maximum efficiency and reliability. Also, as per our customers feedback, 20-27% increase in unload cycles per hour compared to other mechanical machines. Our grab bucket introduced the faster duty cycle, precise position, and up to 20% reduction in material leakage.
Q: How does the design of your clamshell bucket minimize material spillage during operation?
Ans: We follow the Indian and International design standards and provide the optimal close strength, ensure the tight seal to handle material like fertilizer or fine coal. For other material like power, we develop the grabs bucket with lead and CRD (Cylinder Rod Dust Protector) system for continuous operation.
Q: What are the main features of your underwater grabs?
Ans: Our grabs bucket featured with advanced waterproof technology, electric control system, operate underwater at highly efficiency. It delivers superior, precise closing and opening force. and handle the maximum load to eliminate the limitations of mechanical grabs.
Q: My excavator is used for demolition and large rock handling. Which grab is the best fit?
Ans: We designs and develop hydraulic clamshell bucket featuring a 360° rotator option and rugged EN19 teeth. Built-in hydraulic mechanism provides the digging force for hard rock, granite, and rotator supports the precise placement and easy to load an unload the irregular shapes demolition waste also.
Q: What are the main components of the grabs hydraulic system, and what is maintenance required for a grapple?
Ans: We design and develop the grab bucket with high-quality components including hydraulic cylinder(s), motor /pump, oil tank etc. A daily inspection to check the lubrications, cylinders seals , wear and tear plates(Hardox), pins and bushes to check properly for durability of grab.
