Mining Tooth Performance for Excavator Durability

Problem:

The customer, operating in the mining industry, faced a significant challenge in maintaining the desired lifespan of their excavator’s mining teeth. The strenuous tasks performed by these machines subjected the mining teeth to excessive force, resulting in premature breakage. The sand was also wearing the teeth out much faster than what the normal life expectancy is. This raised concerns about the cost and operational efficiency associated with the frequent replacement of mining teeth. Their investigations were performed to determine the primary causes of accelerated mining tooth wear and breakage, considering factors such as material quality, design limitations, and maintenance practices. The customer was solely utilizing mining teeth that were casted.

Solution:

To address the customer’s concern regarding the short lifespan of their excavator’s mining teeth, SSP successfully provided a viable solution by offering high-quality forged Mining Teeth. Through rigorous testing and evaluation, the customer determined that forged mining teeth outperformed castings, offering an impressive increase of over 40% in lifespan specifically tailored to their mining application.

SSP’s expertise in the field of forging allowed them to deliver mining teeth of exceptional quality and durability. The customer benefited from the inherent strength and reliability of forged materials, which proved to be superior in withstanding the demanding conditions of their mining operations.

Extensive testing was conducted to validate the performance of the forged mining teeth, ensuring that they met the customer’s rigorous standards. The results obtained demonstrated a significant improvement in the lifespan of the mining teeth compared to castings previously used by the customer.

The implementation of high-quality forged mining teeth not only extended the lifespan but also provided the customer with several advantages. These benefits included enhanced productivity, reduced downtime associated with frequent replacements, and optimized operational efficiency.
