Perfect combo with XMOR® BHB bucket brings fuel savings
Operation: ?
Excavator: Volvo EC550E
Bucket: XMOR® BHB60 4 m3
Benefits: Up to 8% higher productivity per liter fuel
A Volvo dealership wanted a new bucket made to suit the newly launched Volvo EC550E excavator. The intention was to source a perfectly matched high-volume bucket to demonstrate the machine’s full potential.
The machine was fitted with a quick coupler to facilitate demonstration with a traditional bucket versus the XMOR® BHB bucket on the same day, at the same site, with the same operator, and on the same machine.
The traditional bucket had a capacity of 3.4 m³ at an empty weight of 4,220 kg. The XMOR® BHC60 bucket had a capacity of 4 m³ at an empty weight of 3,125 kg.

Benefits tracked in real operation
The Volvo EC550E is equipped with cutting-edge performance monitoring features that allow for direct comparison of data, including fuel consumption per hour at various engine revolutions per minute (RPM) and tons per hour.
The following results were recorded:
This clearly demonstrated that the machine consumed a similar amount of fuel with both buckets. However, since the XMOR® bucket was lighter when empty and had a higher payload capacity, the suspended load (bucket weight + ore material weight) remained at a similar total value.
As a result, the XMOR® bucket moved more material with the same fuel consumption, leading to an improved ton-per-liter efficiency.
