In industries like mining, construction, and material processing, wear-resistant tools are essential to maintain efficiency, reduce downtime, and lower operating costs. Rettek, a leading manufacturer based in Zigong, China, specializes in the research, development, and production of high-quality carbide tools and parts designed to withstand extreme working conditions. This article provides a comprehensive overview of Rettek’s carbide solutions, focusing on their applications, advantages, and innovations, helping manufacturers and suppliers understand how these tools improve productivity.
What Are Trail Plates and Their Role in VSI Crushers?
Trail Plates are critical components inside Vertical Shaft Impact (VSI) crushers. They help stabilize and retain accumulated materials in the rotor, ensuring smooth operation and consistent output. Rettek’s welded Trail Plates, specifically the B7150SE / B9100SE series, combine carbide with advanced welding technology to produce high-strength, durable tools.
Compared to traditional bonded Trail Plates, Rettek’s welded design can withstand high-impact, high-speed, and high-heat environments while resisting corrosion. This durability reduces the likelihood of carbide breaking or detaching during operation, significantly extending the service life of the crusher components.
