Milling operations face numerous challenges, particularly in the performance of asphalt milling teeth. If you haven't explored these challenges, please read our comprehensive blog: How to Assess Milling Teeth in the Market.
Tip Durability: The durability of the carbide tips is the most critical factor affecting the tool life, lifespan, and effectiveness of milling teeth. High-quality, durable tips ensure a longer service life and sustained cutting performance, reducing the frequency of replacements and downtime.
These indicators influence the expected lifespan, premature failure resistance, and operational performance of milling teeth in asphalt milling operations.
• D-Surface Treatment: Everpads adopts D-treatment, which only one OEM brand and we adopt it due to its high cost, on the steel body and sleeve. This treatment reduces friction and ensures high rotation smoothness of the teeth.
• Designed Taper Production Solution: The integrated mold forging of the steel body and wear plate results in a perfectly matched taper at the contact points, giving the milling teeth exceptional self-centering capabilities.
• Automatic Precise Robot Tip Setting: Ensures a consistently precisely centered tip, providing the best physical condition for rotation.
• Optimal Steel Body Shape: The shape has been optimized through tested special wave designs that provide the best conditions for self-rotation.
• Patent Wear Plate Shape: The patented waved shape design of the wear plate allows soil to pass through efficiently, enhancing the rotational capability by interacting with the angles and grooves.
• Proper Space Setting and Smoothness: Achieving a high rotation rate requires precise space setting and smoothness between the shank of the steel body and the sleeve, which many manufacturers find difficult to achieve.
• Precise Production and High-Cost Surface Treatment: These requirements necessitate exacting production standards and costly surface treatments, which many manufacturers are unwilling or unable to perform.
• Centered Tip and Self-Centered Ability: Ensuring a precisely centered tip and a self-centering steel body to the tool holder requires sophisticated engineering and manufacturing capabilities, which many manufacturers lack.
• High-Quality Raw Tungsten Material: We use German tungsten carbide powder with uniform granularity, resulting in stable and uniformly crystallized end products.
• Consistent Advanced Production Process: Our tungsten carbide products feature large, uniform 20-micron crystals, providing exceptional impact resistance and toughness while maintaining a hardness of 90-95 HRC. These attributes are consistently achieved through our advanced production methods.
• Enhanced Steel Body Property and Structure: Our patented steel body design maximizes strength and minimizes the possibility of breakage when unexpectedly crushing hard objects.
• Consistent Cutting Force: Maintaining consistent cutting force requires advanced material technology and precision manufacturing, which many manufacturers lack.
• Resistance to Wear and Deformation: Achieving the right balance of hardness and elasticity to resist wear and deformation demands tungsten carbide with uniform crystals, a challenging requirement.
• High-Quality Materials: The need for high-quality, uniform raw tungsten materials is costly, and many manufacturers are reluctant to invest in these expensive resources.
• High-Quality Raw Tungsten Material: We use German tungsten carbide powder with uniform granularity, resulting in stable and uniformly crystallized end products.
• Consistent Advanced Production Process: Our tungsten carbide products feature large, uniform 20-micron crystals, providing exceptional impact resistance and toughness while maintaining a hardness of 90-95 HRC. These attributes are consistently achieved through our advanced production methods.
• Significant Complexity and Cost: Delivering these features involves substantial complexity and expense.
• High-Quality, Wear-Resistant Materials: Enhancing tip durability requires expensive, high-quality, wear-resistant materials and advanced manufacturing capabilities.
• Uniformity in Material Quality: Achieving consistent performance and durability demands stringent quality control, which many manufacturers lack.
• Balancing Hardness and Toughness: Preventing chipping or cracking requires sophisticated engineering to balance hardness and toughness.
• Unique Secret Alloy Compound for Steel Body from Taiwan: Our unique alloy ensures that the rotational capability of the steel body does not diminish over its lifecycle.
• Customized Alloy for Sleeve from Japan: Combined with advanced heat treatment methods, this ensures that the sleeve never deforms.
• Exclusive Alloy for Wear Plate from Japan: Our wear plates are made from an exclusive Japanese wear-resistant alloy steel, ensuring superior durability.
• Specific Heat Treatment for Each Component: We use the most suitable heat treatment methods for each component, enhancing structural stability and performance.
• Extreme Forces and Conditions: Milling teeth face extreme forces and varying environmental conditions, making deforming resistance hard to achieve. Other brands' materials and designs often can't withstand these stresses.
• Robust Material Needs: High-quality, robust materials are essential but costly and complex to source and use, which many manufacturers avoid.
• Controlled Heat Treatment: Achieving structural stability requires meticulous heat treatment and sophisticated engineering, which many manufacturers lack.
• High Costs: The expensive processes and materials needed for top-quality milling teeth lead many manufacturers to cut corners to keep production costs down.
• D-Surface Treatment: Everpads adopts D-treatment on the steel body and sleeve. This advanced and costly treatment, used only by one OEM brand and Everpads, nearly eliminates rust issues and ensures long-term durability.
• Black Oxide Use: Most manufacturers use Black Oxide for rust prevention because it is low-cost.
• Ineffectiveness of Black Oxide: This method is less effective at preventing rust and ensuring long-term durability.
• Investment Challenges: Investing in more effective rust prevention methods is costly, and many manufacturers are reluctant to incur these higher expenses.
• Increase Tool Holder Service Life: Everpads' patented wear plates, featuring a larger diameter of 48mm compared to others on the market, provide better protection to the tool holders.
