VIBRATORY PICK SCALING HEAD
The patented technology of the VP Series scaling head brings together the pry-bar action of a pick and the vibrational frequency of a hydraulic breaker for success in scaling soft rock applications for underground mining. Its streamlined design provides excellent visibility to the tool while allowing for high mechanized pry forces and the breaker's impact energy to quickly scale in underground mines.
RESOURCES
Provides excellent operator visibility and dexterity during all scaling modes. No more guessing where the tool is, as is the case with conventional scaling breakers.
Provides full transmission of breaker impact energy to the tooth without binding.
Turns the vibratory pick into a pry-bar which quickly removes loose material.
Allows tuning of impact energy and frequency to match individual ground conditions, preventing over-scaling or mining of scaling surface.
Provides maximum production rates and excellent finished ground condition.
Allows for quick “in the field” inspection of striker plate and tappet, giving the operator the ability to quickly replace all consumable wear parts.
Allows for full transmission of the carrier’s cylinder forces through the pick.
A floating breaker design and shock absorbing recoil system provides excellent structural integrity, eliminating breaker vibration to carrier and operator. BTI’s breaker within a scaling pick provides versatile scaling in a single lightweight unit.
Protects breaker and tappet system, ensuring that the ground- engaging tool is in full contact with the scaling surface before the breaker fires.
TOOTH CONFIGURATIONS BASED ON SIZE
Pointed Tooth provides maximum penetration for pre-splitting and quick removal of large loose areas such as seams.
5” Spade Tooth (standard) provides balanced width and vibration for limited penetration into scaling surface for finishing of ribs and faces.
10” Spade Tooth provides vibration with no penetration into scaling surface, for removal of very loose or flaky material and final clean up in soft or layered material such as gypsum, salt or limestone.
