Kprime offers

HIGHER PERFORMANCE

Komatsu’s new Kprime Tooth System from Hensley Industries is now available as standard on new Komatsu excavators. Replacing the Kmax and XS range, the Kprime series is suitable for excavators with operating weights from 4 tonnes to 400 tonnes.

Safety enhancements include an intuitive locking system, pry slots on the tooth and wear cap for the easier removal of worn parts, plus a low-torque pin for easier tooth changes. Reliability has also been improved through a 10% stronger adapter nose design, an improved pin setup that reduces the potential for accidental unlocking (even after extended use), and an optimised design to reduce wear on adapters.

“Kprime teeth are rotatable to further extend life, while wear indicators on the wear cap and fastener let users know when those parts need to be changed,” explains Sifiso Dubazana, ground engaging tool specialist, Komatsu South Africa.

Buckets fitted with Kprime adaptors present the option of using different styles of teeth to meet individual digging and loading requirements.

“While Kprime teeth will be offered as standard on all Komatsu excavators, this system is also ideal for all other brands of earthmoving and mining equipment – from compact utility-class machines up to large mining machines,” adds Dubazana.
