Why does the Rhinox Concrete Pouring Bucket have a chute?
As concrete pouring buckets grow in popularity on construction and groundworks sites, digger attachment manufacturers are continually developing designs to create the most efficient products for their customers. With over 30 years in the industry, our research found that a concrete bucket with a rounded chute is the best design, but why?
1. Increases Pouring Accuracy
When pouring, a concrete bucket chute funnels your material into one narrow passage, allowing you to accurately pour into small or complex areas with near centimetre precision - especially when paired with a chute gate.
Think of pouring water from a mug vs a jug. When pouring from a mug the liquid flows over the wide side of the mug, sometimes dribbling down the side and spilling water outside of where you intended to pour it. Compared to pouring from a jug with a spout, that channels the water into a smaller point, creating a narrower stream of water directly into where you intended.
The chute on a concrete pouring bucket works the same, funnelling your concrete into the desired location to create a thinner stream of material. Overall improving your directional accuracy and making it much easier to pour narrow foundations, fill small containers and manoeuvre the concrete around small pipes already laid in the ground.
2. Reduces Concrete Waste
As previously mentioned, pouring concrete from a bucket without a chute can cause a lot more mess than you'd first expect. The chute channels your material directly into the intended area, reducing the chance of overspill or waste. Whereas a concrete pouring bucket without a chute often results in concrete trailing down the side of the bucket, not only dripping on the floor creating waste, but also increasing the clean up required after pouring.
Helping to reduce waste further, we have designed our chute with a smooth, rounded appearance. This rounded profile prevents material from getting stuck in any corners or joins while pouring, ensuring that material isn't wasted and the bucket cleaning process is effortless. The chute on the Rhinox concrete pouring bucket is also raised 1 inch from the bottom of the bucket to prevent residual concrete or other materials from leaking out of the bucket when placed on the ground or when awaiting refill.
In the world of construction, precision and efficiency is paramount. The chute on the Rhinox concrete pouring bucket is a testament to innovation and addressing the critical needs of the industry, but don't just take our word for it, listen to what a construction excavator operator has to say about the Rhinox concrete pouring bucket in the video below.
