ESCO Universal Wear Solutions

Weld-on Bucket Wear Systems

ESCO LHD Weld-on Bucket Wear Systems for underground mining reduce lip maintenance, and the cast alloy weld-on lip shrouds and bucket wearparts protect the high-wear areas of most popular LHD machines.

ESCO LHD lip components are designed for uniform wear with no need to shut down the machine to replace one specific part. LHD lip systems are easily modified to fit non-standard bucket inside lip widths. A 90° lip blunt and the use of common grade base plate material provides for a full bearing butt fit and an inexpensive, reusable platform for the assembly.

Cast corners provide long life and structural bucket integrity in this critical area. Shrouding is also available for 2.5 to 3.5 yard machines. For larger machines the scalloped rib shroud design adds strength and security, it also aids in installation and removal.

Features and benefits:

• Protection against impact and abrasion ensures more hours mucking between change outs.
• Less wear and tear on machine components increases produc­tion and reduces maintenance.
• Engineered specifically for LHD application. The ESCO extended lead and unique slim profile provide for maximum penetration into the pile.
• Components stay sharp. Digging performance is maxi­mized throughout the life of the assembly.

ESCO LHD Wear Edges and Shoes: Cast alloy corner wear edges and shoes provide a unique opportunity to protect other high wear, high stress areas of the LHD bucket.

Features and benefits:

• Individual components work in tandem to produce a wear protection system, which protects the bucket through the entire digging cycle.
• Components can be trimmed or formed to accommodate most bucket radii.

Kwik-Lok II

Kwik-Lok II Benefits:

• Versatile sizing allows protection for hot spots or entire wear surfaces
• One-piece lock allows quick and easy installation and removal
• No large wear plates to handle, no arc splatter, or welding fumes to replace wear runners
• Lightweight wear runners are easier and safer to handle
• ESCO alloy 12S cast runners provide longer wear life and durability
• Select size runners are available in ESCO alloy 35S for even longer wear life in low impact applications
• Most Kwik-Lok II runners are reversible for extended life in applications with uneven wear
• Easy to change runners allow wear protection maintenance to be done along with standard machine maintenance

Typical Kwik-Lok II applications include machine buckets, processing plants and haul truck beds. Kwik-Lok II wear protection is ideal for virtually any industrial wear situation. Examples include dozer arms, scraper bowl bottoms and log loading forks.

Kwik-Lok

The original Kwik-Lok wear protection is especially ideal for hot slag and underwater dredging. It is a semi-mechanical system that utilizes a weld-on stop block to hold the runner in place.

• ESCO alloy 12S runners can last up to five times longer than plate steel
• ESCO alloy 35S runners are available in select sizes for even longer wear life in low impact applications
• Runners are ready to use as delivered – no material prep or special handling
• Longer wear life and less maintenance increases machine uptime

Bimetallic Universal Wear Solutions

ESCO bimetallic bolt-on and custom wear plates combine a mild steel jacket with a 27% chrome ni-hard alloy core for extreme wear conditions. ESCO wear plates provide surface abrasion protection for a wide variety of applications on both flat and curved surfaces.

• Ideal for severe wear areas in hoppers and conveyor chutes
• Longer wear life and less maintenance
• May be used on draglines, shovel dippers, face shovels, excavators, loaders, truck beds and dozer arms

ESCO chrome white iron castings have a minimum hardness of 700 BHN are bonded to slotted, mild steel backing plate. Standard welding tools and materials allow a quick, secure solution to problem wear areas. Recommended applications include: draglines, shovels, loaders, excavator buckets, conveyor chute liners, quarry and mining grizzly screens, and gyratory and jaw crusher liners.

• Wear Bars: Wear bars can be used to form a mosaic of wear protection to counter highly abrasive applications. The backing plate's flexibility lets the bar to conform to slightly convex or concave applications.

• Wear Buttons: Circular buttons provide maximum protection and minimize the effects of heavy impact.

Custom Wear Liners

ESCO fabricates custom liner packages to customer specifications with a selection of package styles to address specific wear needs. The liner styles below are available for dragline buckets, truck boxes, dozers, wheel loaders, excavators, face shovels and rail cars.

Tumble Bar style liners cause material to tumble instead of slide, which reduces wear during material discharge. Tumble bars are made from ESCOALLOY™ 400 or 500 premium wear plate in thicknesses of 1/2" to 1-1/4", depending upon application. Flat / Formed liners made of premium grade ESCOALLOY 400 or 500 wear plate, or chromiumcarbide overlay plate. These are ideal for extreme abrasion and high impact applications. Waffle Style liners are typically 40% lighter than solid plate liners, with minimal wear life change. Liners are generally 1/2" to 1-1/4" thick ESCOALLOY 400 or 500 plate and are designed for lighter weight in high abrasion impact applications.
