09 Dec 2024 CW Team

MT Swamy, Regional Leader – APAC, Infrastructure Business, Kennametal India Limited said, “In line with rising infrastructure development in the country, our customers demand higher productivity and performance from their equipment. Kennametal’s offerings in road rehabilitation, mining and trenching are developed to perform in the toughest conditions while delivering optimum efficiency. We look forward to partnering with customers on their growth journeys and transforming how everyday life is built.”

For road rehabilitation, Kennametal will exhibit the next-gen Road King™ tool series that provides superior milling machine performance. Visitors will get to see the RK31, RK32, RK43 and RK54 models, featuring new design improvements like improved body, washer and retainer design for optimum carbide tip usage, better rotation and reduced axial play, which further improves holder protection as well as retention in the current generation of tool holders. Road King’s design elements maximize tool life and make tooth changes easy and efficient for operators.

In the foundation drilling category Kennametal will display its premium 38/30mm shank series conical tools and concomitant holders for hydraulic rigs and diaphragm wall cutters, as well as the KF Series quick change flat cutters, weld on teeth and flat teeth with TC buttons, etc., which are known for maximising productivity and boosting overall performance. Kennametal will also showcase its 25mm-shank conical tools portfolio and holders along with a ‘core barrel ring,’ designed by in-house experts as per customers’ requirements. Also on display will be our foundation drilling conical tools with extra-tough grade KHE16 that enable penetration of the hardest of rocks. In tests comparing it to our standard construction grade, this innovative pick features a tapered tungsten carbide tip that wears evenly with the pick’s steel body; provides increased chipping and fracture resistance as well as improved thermal properties; maintains cutting efficiency over a longer time; minimises downtime required to inspect tools and change out damaged picks; and reduces expenses by extending the life of the machine’s holders and drilling tools.

Finally, in the surface mining solutions category, Kennametal will be displaying its conical tools with the industry’s first taper tip for surface miners that yield new levels of performance and productivity, as well as KenCastTM wear protection solutions that extend wear part life up to 6X, ultimately benefitting customers by preventing costly repairs and downtime.

Kennametal India Limited will showcase a comprehensive range of innovative foundation drilling, road rehabilitation, surface mining, trenching and wear protection solutions at bauma CONEXPO 2024, one of the region’s leading trade fairs for the construction machinery, building material machine and mining machine industries, from 11-14 December at the India Expo Centre, Greater Noida.
