Enstruc recently manufactured custom Steel Mill Buckets for a fleet of Volvo L220 wheel loaders operating in a busy South African steel processing facility. Designed to withstand the extreme demands of steel mill environments, these heavy-duty slag buckets are built on a proven design specifically created for non-stop production processes, where extreme heat, toxic fumes, and heavy dust are part of daily operations. Our steel mill buckets are specially configured to succeed in hot slag handling applications where standard buckets simply cannot survive.
The custom-built loader bucket features heat-treated hardened cutting edges, extra-thick steel plates, and steel wear ribs, providing enhanced strength and maintaining the bucket’s structural integrity even in extreme heat. With a bucket volume of 4.5 m³, the Enstruc Hot Slag Bucket is engineered for maximum durability and reliability, delivering the lowest cost-per-hour of service even under severe temperature, abrasion, and impact conditions.
Enstruc has years of experience working closely with steel mills, foundries, and hot slag processors around the world to determine the best possible bucket solution for each facility’s unique operating conditions. Every Enstruc steel mill bucket is made to order, built precisely to meet the demands of your application. We offer customisation options that include varying material thicknesses, specialised high-temperature steel grades, reinforced structures, and heavy-duty wear parts to maximise your bucket’s service life.
Whether you require a slag bucket for hot material handling, furnace cleanout, or steel mill maintenance, Enstruc is ready to engineer the right solution for you. Our goal is to provide buckets that deliver superior performance, extended service intervals, and lower maintenance costs, helping you maintain productivity in the most challenging working environments.
