Bourgault’s ‘Max Life’ extends the life of tools and machines
6th June 2023
Bourgault Tillage Tools is launching ‘Max Life’ at Cereals 2023, an infused tungsten carbide treatment that protects ground contacting parts and greatly extends their working life.
BTT, already renowned for the quality of its products, believes the introduction of its Max Life Weldable Wear Strips will further extend their effective working life and so help users reduce their wearing metal costs – a valuable saving in the current economic climate.
Made with the same weld-infused tungsten carbide found on its harrow tines, Max Life Weldable Wear Strips can be custom fit to flat or curved surfaces, extending the life of tools and machines.
“The treatment can extend the working life of parts by between 300% and 600%”, says Ian Clayton-Bailey, managing director of Bourgault UK, the Canadian parent company’s UK subsidiary.
“Max Life is a heat-applied weld pool containing solid chunks of tungsten carbide, which are spread evenly across the face of the wearing part.
“Unlike other hard surface coatings, the weld deposit does not chip or flake when subjected to high impacts, and is extremely tough.
“It is a cost-effective option for high wear applications across a range of parts and has already proven effective when used on harrow tines, sweeps, spikes, shanks and disc scrapers. We are also showcasing our Max Life Weldable Wear Strips that farmers can apply themselves. These are very cost effective and extensive field testing has been completed to prove its durability.
