Kennametal India Limited, a leading provider of materials science, tooling, and wear-resistant solutions is set to make a significant presentation at EXCON 2023, South Asia’s premier construction equipment event, scheduled to take place at BIEC, Bengaluru, from December 12 to 16. Known for its innovative solutions in foundation drilling, road rehabilitation, mining, and wear protection, Kennametal India aims to showcase a diverse range of cutting-edge products at Excon 2023.
The spotlight will be on the Next-Gen Road King™ tool series, a revolutionary advancement in road rehabilitation. This series, introduced earlier this year with enhanced design features, promises to elevate milling machine performance. The RK31, RK32, and RK54 models, boasting improved body, washer, and retainer design, aim to maximize carbide tip utilization, enhance rotation, and reduce axial play.
These advancements not only extend tool life but also simplify and streamline tooth changes for operators, ensuring efficiency. Among the notable road rehabilitation solutions from Kennametal is its block system, featuring a taper locking sleeve. Additionally, the new CB22 ‘Stack-on System’ offers the flexibility to convert an OEM’s bolt-on system to a taper sleeve system, facilitating swift field repairs or maintenance to restore drums to their original pattern.
In the foundation drilling segment, Kennametal presents a range of cutting-edge solutions designed to enhance performance and longevity. This includes the premium 38/30mm shank series conical tools, alongside concomitant holders tailored for hydraulic rigs and wall cutters.
The KF Series introduces quick change flat cutters, weld-on teeth, and flat teeth with TC buttons, renowned for their ability to maximize productivity and elevate overall performance. Adding to the innovation is the 25mm shank conical tool and holder, accompanied by a new “core barrel ring” crafted by in-house experts to meet custom requirements. These cutting solutions not only ensure high-value equipment operates efficiently in demanding environments but also continually introduce fresh and innovative approaches to foundation drilling applications.
In the surface mining category, Kennametal showcases pioneering solutions to elevate performance standards. The conical tools featuring the industry’s first taper tip for surface miners promise to unlock new levels of efficiency and productivity. Complementing this is the KenCast™ wear protection system, known for extending equipment lifespan by up to six times, thereby reducing the need for costly repairs and minimizing downtime. This comprehensive suite of solutions underscores Kennametal’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation in foundation drilling and surface mining applications.
Kennametal, with a legacy spanning over 80 years as an industrial technology leader, has been delivering productivity solutions through materials science, tooling, and wear-resistant innovations. Operating in diverse sectors such as aerospace and defense, earthworks, energy, general engineering, and transportation, Kennametal continues to be a trusted partner for precision and efficient manufacturing.
