Summary
During excavator operation, smooth performance and service life directly impact your work efficiency. As the frontline component directly contacting the terrain, bucket teeth are particularly crucial. So why does severe wear occur on bucket teeth? And how can it be addressed?
During excavation, each working surface of the bucket teeth contacts the material being dug. The forces exerted vary across different stages of the excavation process. Repeated contact with hard objects and cutting actions cause varying degrees of surface wear on the teeth, eventually leading to deep plow grooves that render the teeth unusable. Therefore, the quality of the wear-resistant layer and the overall condition of the teeth directly influence their service life.
Recommendations for Maintaining Bucket Teeth
1. Selecting the correct bucket teeth is crucial for extending your excavator's operational lifespan and enhancing penetration power. Properly matched teeth and accessories enable faster excavator cycles and material savings.
2. During use, the outermost bucket teeth wear 30% faster than inner wear parts. Periodically rotating or swapping positions between inner and outer teeth can mitigate wear and maintain productivity.
3. When operating the excavator, maintain a vertical angle between the bucket teeth and the working surface during digging to prevent teeth breakage caused by excessive tilt.
4. Applying a tungsten coating to bucket teeth and other components effectively reduces maintenance costs and enhances machine efficiency.
Beyond routine maintenance, the inherent quality and material composition of the bucket teeth themselves warrant greater attention.
