Kennametal India has displayed a comprehensive range of innovative foundation drilling, road rehabilitation, mining, and wear protection solutions at Excon 2023.
In front and center was the Next-Gen Road King™ tool series for road rehabilitation. Launched earlier this year with several design enhancements, the next generation Road King provides advanced milling machine performance. These new design elements maximize tool life and make tooth changes easy and efficient for operators. The new RK31, RK32 and RK54 feature 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.
In addition to the Road King series, also notable in Kennametal’s road rehabilitation line is its block system which features a taper locking sleeve and the new CB22 ‘Stack-on System’ that converts an OEM’s bolt-on system to a taper sleeve system - suitable for quick field repairs or maintenance to return drums to their original pattern.
