Designed to further enhance shear productivity and longevity, Genesis Attachments has introduced Shear Jaw Armor, a weld-on, modular protective system for its GXP Mobile Shears.
Jaw Armor, designed to fit a shear’s lower and upper jaws as well as the chin, is constructed of abrasion-resistant, proprietary GenGuard steel. Once in place, the need for build-up and hardsurfacing of the protected wear areas is virtually eliminated.
“The time and expense associated with maintaining mobile shears through repeated welding and hardsurfacing has long been a challenge for users,” says Steve Letko, Genesis Engineering Services Manager. “We’ve designed Jaw Armor to protect the main wear areas, and project it could last up to a year in typical recycling applications, saving annual welding, labour and material costs, and increasing uptime and production.”
When released, the complete Jaw Armor product line will include models for additional Genesis shear models, as well as competitive attachments.
