A new KVX GET solution for 90-160 ton excavators

In April, KVX introduced the new E2 M80 tooth system, mounted on the Komatsu PC1250-11 excavator at the Bauma exhibition in Munich. The KVX solution is special because the tooth system is bolted on the cutting edge (lip). This configuration is weld-free, which means less downtime and the possibility to freely switch between several KVX GET solutions. If a machine is moved from one application to another, you can easily adapt/change the GET system to a more optimal solution. If you change operators and they prefer a different configuration, you can easily adapt to their needs. Easily and quickly.

The 1-bolt tooth reversible system uses just one bolt to fit each tooth to the cutting edge and fits all brands of machinery. A quick, simple and extremely strong retention system that saves you both time and money. When they are worn, turn the reversible teeth in a short time. The new E2 system offers the same slim profile and weld-free retention, with the incorporation of quickly replaceable tips. The tooth tips are fixed with a pin – easy and “hammerless” – on the unique KVX bolt-on “adapter” which offers a superior lifetime. (available from August)

Thanks to its specific shape, the Heavy Duty (HD) lip will offer you better penetration and will increase the lifetime of the teeth and therefore your service intervals. You can also mix the primary teeth with wear plates or “Milk teeth” in between to have better lip protection and availability.

Applications: quarry, demolition, and recycling, hard rock, extreme impact, crusher feeding, digging in sticky material, ripping.
The new M80 E2 concept was presented for the first time on Komatsu’s booth, where the system was mounted on a PC1250-11 machine. Another PC1250 bucket was shown at the exhibition, this time equipped with the 1-bolt reversible teeth system.
