Hot slag solutions for MTG’s StarMet construction range

A new metallic retainer and pin design allows users to benefit from all MTG Systems’ StarMet hammerless features on hot slag applications. Users of MTG wear parts for such applications have until now had access to MTG’s KingMet range of ground engaging tools (GET).

A new metallic retainer and pin design allows users to benefit from all 7159 MTG Systems’ StarMet hammerless features on hot slag applications. Users of MTG wear parts for such applications have until now had access to MTG’s KingMet range of ground engaging tools (GET).

“The main advantage of the StarMet hot slag solution when compared to KingMet is that with StarMet you will only need to change the pin and the retainer due to wear, while with KingMet you would also have had to change the adapter,” says Joan Cesar, MTG’s product manager.

    A variety of systems are available for quickly and efficiently removing water from roads as Patrick Smith reports The presence of water in a highway layer reduces the bearing capacity of the road, and in doing so it also reduces the structure's lifetime. Indeed, the recent extremely cold winter in many parts of Europe has shown that in colder climates there is a risk of frost damage when water is present resulting in costly potholes, so drainage systems performing properly are important in road design.
