HOK Bucket Teeth Insights: Features, Classifications, and Maintenance Guide

Bucket teeth, a key component, consists of two parts, the tooth holder and the tooth sleeve(often directly called bucket teeth),which are closely connected by pins and work together. In excavator operations, the bucket teeth play and important role in breaking up, excavating and loading various types of materials(e.g.soil, stone, mud, sand, etc.).

1. Function and Value

HOK uses high quality alloy steel to craft the bucket teeth, which not only has excellent strength and wear resistance, but also can withstand high impact, which significantly improves the service life and working efficiency of the bucket, and HOK understands the importance of this, so it specially selects the industry’s well-known buckets to match, so as to ensure that the user can get a cost-effective experience, and the wear resistance and long service life of the bucket teeth is significant advantage.

2. Feature highlights

HOK teeth stand out for their unique advantage, including

•    Excellent physical properties: hardness, tensile strength, yield strength and stamping resistance are superior to those of other products in the industry.

•    Precise fit: Ensure a perfect fit between the teeth and the excavator’s bucket, improving operational stability.

•    Low-shake design: reduces shaking during operation and minimizes the risk of breakage.

•    Advanced manufacturing process: Adopting advanced casting and die forging technology to ensure uniform hardness inside and outside of the bucket teeth, which can maintain high strength operation regardless of the temperature environment.

3. Classification and Application

Bucket teeth can be categorized into various types according to different application scenarios:

•    Ordinary Bucket Teeth(Earthmoving Teeth): designed for digging soil, weathered sand, surface coal and other soft materials, keeping sharp during wear, reducing digging resistance and saving fuel.

•    Tiger Bucket Teeth: For special working conditions such as lumpy coal seams, they have excellent penetrability, stripping quickly and effectively reducing operating costs.

•    Rock Bucket Teeth: Suitable for digging hard rocks, although the wear may increase the digging resistance, but the scope of application is wide, need to choose reasonably according to the working conditions.

4. Application and maintenance recommendations

To ensure optimum performance of the teeth, the following points are recommended:

•    When the teeth reach 30% wear, they should be replaced with new ones in order to maintain digging efficiency.

•    The bucket teeth will wear out the seat during operation, when the wear reaches 10-15%, it is recommended to replace the seat to avoid further damage.

•    When using, should ensure that the bucket teeth vertical working surface, strictly prohibited in the process of digging left and right shaking bucket, in order to reduce unnecessary wear and damage.
