Cutter teeth & adapters

IHC Parts & Services teeth and adapters can be used on various types of dredging equipment, principally cutters, dragheads and dredging wheels and are available in many types and sizes.

• Flared teeth are used for peat, sand and soft clay.
• Narrow chisels are applied in packed sand and stiff clay.
• Teeth with pick points are used for rock.

Special mounting geometry

The mounting geometry of IHC Parts & Services teeth and adapters is free of play, self adjusting and offers reduced contact area stresses. This ensures a precise and stable tooth position and increased lifetime of the mounting contact surfaces. Maintenance is simple as the teeth are easily removable from the adapters even with overtight tooth clamping. A specially designed wedged tool facilitates blocked tooth removal.

Research

Because of the demands on the product, the highly complex shape of the equipment and the versatility of the manufacturing process, the teeth and adapters are cast. IHC Parts & Services continues to research both new shapes and materials combining wear and impact resistance, hardness, toughness and strength.
