Bucket Wheel Excavators

Bucket wheel excavators are continuous mining machines for overburden, brown coal or hard coal, marl and other mineral resources, which can be extracted by means of specially designed buckets.

Extracting raw materials efficiently

Our machines are able to efficiently extract raw materials from deposits of different sizes. In most cases, conveying equipment is integrated into the excavating system to enable the transportation of the material obtained.
