EverSharp™ Cast Lips System   Features & Benefits

With equipment becoming ever more powerful, and in the face of increasingly demanding conditions, ESCO's new EverSharp cast lip system for mining applications is the answer.EverSharp Cast Lip

Cast in premium ESCO alloys, the EverSharp lip system is not only tremendously strong, but provides increased safety and excellent performance. The Posilok® Plus tooth system, with its hammerless locking device, is standard and offers improved safety, reliability and penetration. The EverSharp lip bottom and shroud are moved up and out of the wear path to reduce wear and improve loading with a more efficient bucket curl. The results: reduced maintenance, improved fuel economy and better productivity.

Improved Safety

  • Hammerless point locking mechanism, with the ESCO Posilok Plus tooth system
  • Reduced shroud weight, for easier handling

Enhanced Strength and Reliability

  • 20% decrease in peak stress, for increased service life of the lip
  • Cast-shroud mounting base maintains proper fit longer
  • Back-drag stabilization reduces the chance of shroud breakage

Reduced Drag and Fuel Consumption

  • Increased nose angle reduces wear on the rear of the adapter
  • Lip and shroud bottoms are moved up to reduce drag and improve penetration
  • Improved lip assembly profile, for more efficient bucket curl and filling

Reduced Maintenance

  • Replaceable shroud mounting base lasts longer and is easy to replace
  • Hinge-lock design allows for easier shroud removal
  • Improved profile reduces component wear
     
Loadmaster® SSC Lip System   Features & Benefits

SSC LipThe ESCO Loadmaster SSC lip is cast in alloy 12T with excellent strength properties. This strength provides better toughness than plate lips and meets the needs of today's mining machines operating in severe applications.

  • ESCO alloy 12T, which provides longer lip life and excellent strength properties
  • Slimmer overall cast lip profile puts thicker sections in high stress area
  • Lip designed to optimize strength while controlling overall weight
  • Integral cast wings provide structural integrity by moving the weld out of high stress areas
  • Toplok shroud designed provides maximum protection with less throwaway metal and easy change-out
  • Unique stepped spade design allows one shroud to fit all positions lowering inventory costs
  • S-Series Posilok tooth system provides longer wear life with increased safety, better penetration, improved reliability, and easier adapter change-out
     
Loadmaster® XDP Lip   Features & Benefits

In the Loadmaster family, the XDP lip was developed for the larger more powerful loading machines found in the aggregate and mining industries.

XDP LipThe Loadmaster XDP lip base is made from T1 plate and comes standard with ESCO Super V tooth equipment and Toplok fully mechanical shrouds. The major difference with this lip is the fully cast corners, which provide greater strength for more demanding applications.

  • Tough T1 plate lips provide the highest quality lip material for balancing abrasion resistance with structural reliability
  • Weld-on adapters are long-wearing, reducing maintenance costs (wear caps optional)
  • Super V tooth system provides increased wear life, better penetration, easy change-out with less breakage
  • Cast alloy corners move welds out of high stress areas for greater strength
  • Spade angle increases penetration and cycle time
  • Toplok shrouds, cast in tough ESCO alloy 12S, are designed to fit the lip without holes, reducing chances of lip cracking or failure
