How to Choose the Best Bucket Tooth Type for You

1. Working environment
Earthwork: For ordinary earthwork, it is recommended to use flat-head earthwork bucket teeth. This bucket tooth design can effectively reduce excavation resistance and save fuel.
Rock excavation: When facing hard rocks, RC rock bucket teeth should be selected, which have better penetration and wear resistance.
Coal seam mining: For coal seam excavation, TL pointed bucket teeth are recommended, which can improve the coal block rate.
2. Bucket tooth material
Forging and casting: Forged bucket teeth are generally more wear-resistant than cast bucket teeth, and their service life can be up to twice that of cast bucket teeth. Although forged bucket teeth are more expensive, they have better long-term economic benefits.
3. Machine model and blade thickness
Confirm the brand and model of the excavator in order to select compatible bucket teeth. At the same time, pay attention to the thickness of the blade. Blades of different thicknesses need to match the corresponding bucket tooth model.
4. Applicable working conditions
Choose the appropriate tooth tip type according to the specific working conditions. For example, for working conditions with medium wear resistance and penetration requirements, you can choose a general-purpose tooth tip; for extreme conditions, you need to choose a reinforced or specially designed tooth tip.
5. Maintenance and replacement
Regularly check the wear of the bucket teeth and replace the severely worn bucket teeth in time. Practice shows that the outer bucket teeth wear 30% faster than the inner ones, so it is recommended to change their positions regularly to even out the wear.
Through the above steps, you can choose the most suitable bucket tooth type according to specific operating requirements and environmental conditions, thereby improving the working efficiency and economy of the excavator.
