Attachments speacialist introduces protective system to prolong shear life.
Genesis Attachments has introduced Shear Jaw Armour, a weld-on protective system for its GXP Mobile Shears.
Designed to fit a shear’s lower and upper jaws as well as the chin, Jaw Armour is a weld-on modular system constructed of abrasion-resistant, proprietary GenGuard steel. Once in place, the need for build-up and hardsurfacing of the newly-protected wear areas is virtually eliminated.
“The time and expense associated with maintaining mobile shears through repeated welding and hardsurfacing has long been a challenge for users,” says Steve Letko, Genesis Engineering Services Manager. “We’ve designed Jaw Armour to protect the main wear areas and project it could last up to a year in typical recycling applications, saving annual welding, labour and material costs and increasing uptime and production.”
“Jaw Armour is not only a significant development in improving shear wear, it also provides true value to our customers,” adds Letko.
When released, the complete Jaw Armour product line will include models for additional Genesis shear models, as well as competitive attachments.
