The importance of bucket teeth for excavators

The bucket tooth is the end of the excavator working device. The bucket tooth is the working part with the largest load in the process of excavating. It is a kind of consumable accessory. Especially in the stone construction environment, the wear speed of bucket teeth is particularly fast. The use of bucket teeth can directly affect the work efficiency and production cost of excavator. To maintain the excavator bucket correctly, the bucket tooth is the key.

With competitive price and timely delivery, G-Top sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

When the bucket tooth tip is seriously worn, the cutting force required by the excavator in the excavation operation will greatly increase, resulting in greater fuel consumption and affecting the work efficiency. Therefore, when the bucket teeth are lost seriously, the bucket teeth should be replaced in time.

In the daily maintenance of the excavator, please spend 2 minutes every day to check the bucket. Main inspection contents: bucket wear degree and whether there are cracks. If the wear is severe, reinforcement should be considered. If there is a crack in the bucket body, it should be repaired by welding in time to avoid increasing the crack length due to repair delay, resulting in maintenance failure. In addition, kick the bucket teeth to check whether the bucket teeth are stable. If the bucket tooth is loose, it should be tightened immediately.

Hi, CJ.
It has always been my understanding that the hollowed faces should be on top as the hollows are there to help the flow of material into the bucket. They also help to keep the tooth sharp(er) by reducing the amount of metal in contact with the ground as you dig. The greatest wear on excavator and backhoe teeth is on the tip. By the time the material is moving up the front face of the tooth, it is already loosened and thus is not exerting the same wearing forces on the metal. Just why your tooth has managed to 'grow' a hole in the top face is a bit of a mystery to me. Maybe you got a dud. I don't think Cat have ever claimed that any of the products were completely bulletproof, just less 'not bulletproof' than other makes.

I have never bothered with reversing excavator teeth although I will swap worn corner teeth into the middle to help balance the wear. I have reveresed ripper boots to present a sharper edge and/or maximise the life of them.

Hi, EDB.
Thanks for the scan of the tool tips page. I can't honestly remember ever having come across a Cat tooth or ripper boot that did not fit both ways. How-wevver, with ripper boots it is usually fairly obvious which way they oughta be fitted. Having said that, I have also fitted some of them upside down to increase penetration angle on some machines or applications.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
