What effect does the shape and spacing of loader bucket teeth have on cutting resistance?

From the perspective of shape, arc-shaped bucket teeth have significant advantages in handling sticky materials such as wet clay and ore mud. Its smooth arc design can reduce the contact area between the material and the bucket teeth, reduce adhesion, make the material easier to fall off, and reduce cutting resistance by about 22%. The wedge-shaped bucket teeth, with their unique wedge-shaped structure, show great power in crushing hard ores. It can concentrate the digging force on the tip of the wedge, and through the dual effects of extrusion and splitting, quickly crush the material and greatly reduce the cutting resistance. In granite mining operations, loaders using wedge-shaped bucket teeth can greatly improve their excavation efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

The design of bucket tooth spacing is also related to the success of the operation. Smaller spacing (10-14 cm) can provide stronger gripping force, which is suitable for grabbing fine materials such as crushed stone and gravel. In highway maintenance operations, narrow-spacing bucket teeth can accurately grab scattered stones, reduce material omissions, and reduce additional resistance caused by secondary grabbing. Larger spacing (25-30 cm) is more suitable for handling large materials, such as concrete blocks in demolition projects. The wide spacing design can prevent materials from blocking the teeth, allowing the loader to maintain continuous and efficient operation, and reducing resistance by more than 25%. In addition, the design of equal spacing and variable spacing also has its own advantages: equal spacing bucket teeth are suitable for conventional working conditions, while variable spacing bucket teeth can play different functions in different areas, further optimizing cutting performance.

In a large-scale building demolition project, the construction team used the wide spacing wedge-shaped bucket teeth customized by the system, which not only efficiently crushed concrete blocks, but also greatly reduced equipment wear, reduced maintenance costs by 40%, and increased operating efficiency by 45%. This fully proves that the reasonably designed bucket tooth shape and spacing are the core elements for the loader to achieve efficient and low-consumption operation, and are also an important guarantee for the construction team to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
