KVX System for WHEEL LOADERS KVX supplies a combination of cutting edges, wear plates and teeth to suit any size of loader up to 250 tons. Four different lay-outs are available, designed to cover all applications including the most severe conditions. Standard components are used whenever possible, with tailor-made solutions developed for special requirements. KVX offers a bolt-on solution for maximum protection of bucket and tyres. With it s unique, flexible and flat-floor design, KVX leaves a smooth, clean and level operating surface a feature which provides a host of other broader benefits for your entire operation. Penetation tooth Stone tooth Cranked tooth Wedge tooth Reversible corner tooth For mini machine Corner tooth (The pictures shows the main types of tooth in our loader range.)

Cutting Edge without holes Straight, pointed, spade and profiled cutting edges without holes. Low weight and good penetration. Cutting Edge w/wear Plates M27 - M60 General purpose cutting edges in straight, pointed and spade edge configuration for sand, gravel and tunnel loading. Cutting Edge w/teeth and Wear Plates combi system M27 - M90 Combination of teeth and wear plates for especially abrasive conditions. Note: Combi lips can also be equipped with wearplates only, allowing you to match the bucket and GET to the working application Cutting Edge w/cranked teeth M16 - M68 Straight and spade edge with bolt-on cranked teeth for less abrasive rocks such as limestone.

KVX System for EXCAVATORS Although best known in the mid-range excavator sizes (12-80 tones), the KVX excavator system is available for machines from 0,5 to 300 tons. Standard elements are widely used, but we tailor-make solutions when required. Any machine, from mini-excavators to giants, can be equipped with our wearresistant components. Teeth from M-16 to M-90 system size: PENETRATION HD: The optimal choice when a balance of extended life and penetration is required. 1-bolt Tooth System One bolt is all it takes. This ingenious and field proven system uses just one bolt to attach the wearpart to to the cutting edge, and fits all brands. Simply place the teeth on the four dowels in the cutting edge and insert the bolt. A quick and simple attachment that saves you time while also providing extreme lateral impact resistance. STANDARD: Our most popular tooth a multi-purpose model. STONE TOOTH HD: Designed for tough and abrasive asive conditions. Suited for applications where penetration is not a high priority but extreme life is required. SUPER PENETRATION / RIPPER HD / TIGER HD: Provides optimal penetration with high structural strength and moderate wear life. THE LIMESTONE TOOTH: Designed specially for limestone applications, and uses a different metallurgy so as to combat heat cracking due to friction. PENETRATION: Provides good penetration and easy digging. STONE TOOTH: For tough digging conditions, or as a corner tooth in combination with other teeth. RIPPER: This heavy-duty, versatile tooth is excellent for rock ripping. M-16: An excellent choice for mini escavators. Combined with a planner plate, this is a unique universal solution. KVX advantages for UTILITY MACHINES The trouble-free and safe solution for Utility machines The KVX planer plate can be fitted ted to excavators of all sizes. KVX offers tooth systems for excavators of all sizes. For Utility machine buckets, we offer a G.E.T. system that makes your mini-excavator, backhoe, skidsteer or loader stand out from the competition. The KVX teeth are bolted directly to the bucket lip. For mini-excavators this is especially good news, as you are able to mount or change the teeth using hand spanners only. What s more, KVX can also supply the bucket Lip itself, enhancing the strength and life of the bucket.

System for 0 2,5 tonne (M-16) M-16: 0-2,5 tonne (also available as cranked tooth for loaders) Simple, Reliable, No welding! System for 2,5 10 tonne (M-20 & M-27) M-20: 2,5 5 tonne M-27: 5 10 tonne Size Doesn t Matter!: Utility machines also need to work troublefree day after day. A safe guarantee is to choose KVX for the entire Utility fleet.

KVX Advantages for QUARRIES & MINES KVX Front Protector for Wheel loaders: The Front Protector is simply wedged between the bucket lip and the teeth. KVX Front Protector for Excavators: The KVX Front Protector system is also available for Excavators. Contact your local KVX dealer or KVX directly for recommendations and advice. KVX offers a complete system of bolt-on wear-parts! Not just for midrange machines! KVX provides customised solutions based on standard components for all excavators, face shovels, and wheel loaders up to 300 tons. No welding of adapters, no loose tips or pins: Just a slim, effective and self-sharpening design. Experienced engineers customise solutions to suit local working conditions. Lower TOTAL cost per tonne: KVX provides both a cost competitive GET system and high machine performance. Self-sharpening, highly durable, and long-life teeth. Optimised fuel consumption, tyre life and productivity with unrivalled slim system design. More bite for your money: More available wear material.

The GET components serve a dual purpose, essentially transferring wear from your bucket to the GET parts. More Versatile Machine: With KVX bolt-on GET a variety of solutions can be tailored to specific applications and fitted to the original lip. On wheel loaders, the under-slung GET provides excellent bucket protection and makes clean up work easier. KVX Quality for the TOUGHEST INDUSTRIES KVX quality steel products have proven very successful and contributed to improve total economy for customers in the toughest industries. HOT SLAG: KVX offers numerous advantages in high temperature and industrial applications DREDGING: The KVX System has proven itself to be outstanding also in extreme and abrasive conditions such as dredging.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL AUSTRALIAN CONTRACT MINING Longer life for machines, with KVX GET Komatsu Australia offers a full range of KVX lips and Ground Engaging Tools (GET) specifically designed for use on under-ground loaders, with the potential to signifi cantly lower overall GET related costs. Better known in Scandinavian underground mines, local customers such as Australian Contract Mining (ACM) have been running KVX GET in demanding underground operations for a number of years. This ongoing patronage speaks for itself. Over the last few years we ve operated KVX GET systems alongside the industry s better known alternatives, and we ve found that the unique operational characteristics of KVX are ideally suited to development mining applications, said ACM s managing director Brian Rodan.
