World premiere for new wear parts system from Combi Wear Parts 2

Combi Wear Parts will launch C-REX, a new wear parts system, at the Bauma Trade Fair in Munich on 11-17 April 2016. The C in C-REX stands for construction, which is the market segment the new system has been designed for. The system has been developed for excavators weighing 12-45 tonnes and wheel loaders weighing 12-55 tonnes.

“Even though the Combi parts system is also aimed for the construction segment, there is a lot of difference between C-REX and Combi parts. When we designed C-REX we kept the best features from Combi parts but we made some big improvements as well. For example, we have developed a unique mechanical lock that makes mounting and dismounting teeth so much easier. The lock is hammerless and has just one loose part, the locking pin, that can be re-used throughout the life of the system,” says Sacha de Bilderling, sales manager at Combi Wear Parts.

C-REX was specially designed with the focus on user friendliness and overall economy. The teeth are longer and have been designed with a larger portion of wear material compared with the Combi parts system that was well known for good performance. The new C-REX adapters are also less sensitive to wear which means users will get longer operation time from the adapter, thus saving costs for both production and maintenance.

“We have been analysing, designing and testing different concepts for a new wear parts system over some time, so it will be fantastic to launch C-REX at the Bauma Trade Fair in April. When we set out to create a new system we had four basic criteria: improved overall economy, user friendliness, functional reliability and a climate-smart solution. I am convinced that we met our targets,” explains Niclas Wechselberger, Technology and Development manager at Combi Wear Parts.

“All production of C-REX, as with ProClaws and Combi parts, takes place at our foundry in Ljungby, Sweden. In 2012-2013 Combi Wear Parts invested in a new production line for heavy goods and we now have all production under the same roof. Which leads to, full control over the complete process chain, which means we can raise the quality level even higher and reduce our environmental impact. It is important now when we see the global warming as a serious challenge. At Combi Wear Parts we are doing everything we can to make our production as effective and climate smart as possible,” continues Niclas Wechselberger.

Sweden has some of the world's strictest environmental laws in terms of both internal and external environment. Combi Wear Parts meets all current national and international environmental requirements, and we are well prepared to meet future requirements.

So why is the new system called C-REX? Niclas Wechselberger explains:

"The C stands for construction. REX is a direct link to the dinosaur-era giant Tyrannosaurus Rex, T-Rex, who had unequalled strength, extreme power and a razor-sharp bite, just like the C-REX. And since rex means king in Latin we have taken the liberty to appoint C-REX as the King of Wear Parts. We bid everyone a warm welcome to the Bauma Trade Fair and to our stand no. 313 in hall A6 where we will be holding our world premiere of C-REX,” concludes Sacha de Bilderling.
