In using a press fit high tensile tip, less maintenance is required on the ripper boot during operation, which means that the machinery does not need to idle so often, saving considerable time and expense. The reason for this is that the tip is made of a high tensile metal such as tungsten which is less susceptible to wear and tear so it can be used for considerably longer periods before it becomes worn. Furthermore, hard and abrasive rock in front of the tungsten tip has been found to “explode” in its path resulting in the location of precious stones which would otherwise have been missed using conventional equipment. | 2010-10-28 |
