OUR PRODUCT PORTFOLIO
EVERY PART OF THE CUTTING ASSEMBLY.
From the point-attack pick to the cutting drum, select products based on machine configuration, operating conditions and verified technical drawings.
01 / WEAR-RESISTANT CUTTING TOOLS
COAL PICKS
Point-attack picks designed for penetration and wear resistance. Carbide geometry, pick reach, shank dimensions and retainer style influence the correct tool choice.
02
Continuous Miner Picks
Machine-matched tools for high-frequency coal cutting. The pick, sleeve, holder and retainer must work as one compatible assembly.
MACHINE-MATCHED03
Roadheader & Longwall Picks
Application-specific cutting tools selected for the machine head, working profile, rock abrasiveness and desired cutting response.
