Company description
Blademaster Ground Engaging Tools provide increased durability and resilience in extreme operating environments such as mining and quarrying.
Con Mech Engineers uses its in-house heat treatment facilities and metallurgy expertise means we can precisely control all the variables in the heating, quenching and tempering processes resulting in a steel microstructure with the required properties. This means we can reliably achieve the abrasion and impact resistance required for optimum performance for different site conditions. Tool thicknesses can be tailored to provide the wear material required and enable component life to coincide with maintenance schedules.
Another key aspect of our process is to drill and cut the material before heat treatment to achieve a fully thorough hardened microstructure throughout the thickness of the product. This provides a distinct advantage over pre-hardened wear plate which is subsequently processed. Research has shown that induced heat from gas cutting the wear plate reduces hardness close to the cutting edge. This creates ’soft spots‘ and can reduce the service life of the component.
The range includes Xtreme Heavy-Duty and Very Heavy-Duty product lines for high abrasion applications and the Xtreme-Tough product line, which provides greater strength and crack resistance in high impact situations. Also, Xtreme Sub-Zero range is designed to withstand cracking and breakage at very low temperatures down to -50 degrees C.
Products: Ground engaging tools, dozer edges, loader edges, spade edges, toe plates, wear strips, GET, grader edges, Blademaster, Blademaster Xtreme.
