First Break Road Construction
Grader blades
If your grader blade operations are just scraping by, you need a better blade.
Kennametal offers the widest selection and the most innovative designs of road maintenance tools available in the industry, including carbide blades, grader blades, snowplow blades, and accessories.
With our expertise in highly complex metallurgy and materials science, we optimize performance and significantly decrease production costs.
Scarifier Blades
- Penetrates hard-packed gravel and frozen surfaces easily with less down pressure and horsepower.
- Eliminates “washboarding” and pot holes with fewer passes than standard blades.
- Decreases the number of passes necessary to properly maintain a road surface.
- Features replaceable, rotating, self-sharpening, solid carbide-tipped cutting tools that wear uniformly and last longer than all-steel blades.
- Reduces machine and operator downtime significantly by eliminating the need to replace entire blade sections and instead, allowing for the quick change of individual tools.
Dual-Carbide Blades
- Provides maximum wear resistance.
- Features two tungsten carbide inserts, specifically designed for high-abrasion and low-impact applications.
- Outlasts imbedded carbide granule-style blades.
- Offers the longest lasting blade life span in the industry.
- Reduces costs associated with replacement part inventory, downtime, labor, and overall operations.
- Resists “crowning” and maintains a straighter cutting edge throughout the life of the blade.
I.C.E.™/KenCoat™ Blades
Combining Isolated Carbide-Edge (I.C.E.) Blades and Kennametal Carbide Overlay Application Technology (KenCoat)
- Combines durable, individually mounted bullet-shaped inserts with wear-resistant carbide granules embedded in a tough, abrasion-resistant, steel-weld material in one blade.
- Features optimal levels of blade wear, impact, and fracture resistance.
- Designed specifically for maximum performance and blade longevity.
- Performs effectively in snow removal operations on roads with embedded lane markers and rumble strips.
- Withstands high-speed plowing over excessive joints, major cracks, and uneven road surfaces.
KenCoat™ Blades
Kennametal Carbide Overlay Application Technology.
- Economical choices for moderate-impact applications.
- Resists wear from down pressure.
- Provides wear life 3–5x greater than standard carbide blades.
- Features wear-resistant carbide granules embedded in an abrasion-resistant, steel-weld material that offers better protection of the solid carbide insert in the blade.
- Available in both 1" (25mm) and 1.50" (38mm) wide KenCoat protection.
