Proven Solution: KenCast™ Breaks Through Abrasion Resistance Records Crushing Operations at Mine Site
Mining Doc Kennametal’s KenCast™ is known for its durability in highly challenging environments. It is air-hardened cast steel with metallurgic ally bonded tungsten carbide particles on the wear surface, which has been proven to withstand extreme abrasive and high-impact applications and could show a life improvement over standard wear solutions depending on materials and applications. Downtime can be significantly reduced. Don’t just take our word for it, check out the results from one of our tests. Downtime Means No Time for Second-Best A mining company in Brazil, known for its high volume of mineral extraction in the processing and production of gold, needed to reduce downtime caused by replacing wall plates in chutes used in its crushing operations. The environment in which the wall plates are used is predominantly abrasive. However, weight is also a factor, as the flow of minerals inside the chute can concentrate in several different areas and cause wear similar to an impact...
