The new complete range of MTG Systems Starmet Rope Shovel products (teeth, adapters, lip and lateral protectors) are now available to equip the buckets of P&H4100 and CAT7495.
In concordance with MTG’s sustained growth path towards offering state of art GET solutions for heavy mining, MTG now provides a wide range of teeth, adapters and bucket protectors for rope shovels.
MTG’s electric shovel adapters, which allow the use of wear caps where necessary, have been designed with the StarMet tooth-and-adapter fitting system and a conventional two- or three-part lip fastener system. MTG is currently developing a hammerless fastener system for these adapters.
The new range includes specific self-sharpening teeth designs featuring the MTG Twist hammerless locking solution to offer the perfect balance between penetration and resistance to abrasion. They are stronger and have more wear material to guarantee increased bucket productivity with such machinery.
The new wing and blade shrouds, in combination with a conventional mechanical fastener system, complete the full bucket protection.
MTG also offers a range of templates allowing correct lip reconstruction and ensuring the correct installation of adapters and shrouds to extend the bucket’s working life and prevent incidents during loading.
The new products have been successfully tested under the toughest conditions on several applications, highlighting the test performed at a copper mine in Gällivare, Sweden and Santiago de Chile.
