Summers Manufacturing Introduces Abrasion-Resistant Coating for Tillage Equipment Blades
Devils Lake, ND (PRWEB) July 30, 2014 -- Summers Manufacturing now offers Duracoat blade options for its Supercoulter, CoulterChisel and DT Series Diamond Disk tillage tools. The new blades feature an abrasion-resistant WEAR-TUFF® coating to extend service life as much as three- to five-times longer than standard blade options.
Duracoat blades are available in flat, turbo, 13-wave, 8-wave, and 8-wave notched varieties for the Supercoulter and CoulterChisel. These five blade options provide varying levels of residue sizing and aggressiveness to accommodate any tillage practice. The 25-inch, low-concavity blades of the Summers DT Series Diamond Disks are also available with the Duracoat option.
Duracoat blades undergo a proprietary WEAR-TUFF process, developed by Lund Industrial Group, in which the outer portion of the blades is coated with an abrasion-resistant material, consisting of alloy powders, carbides and fluxes. This process results in a sharper, harder blade edge that is easier to pull through the soil and less susceptible to damage. As a result, producers can save time and money by replacing worn or broken blades less often.
Summers Manufacturing offers a “Field Tested Tough” line of tillage equipment, sprayers, land rollers, rock pickers and mounted attachments. For more information, contact Summers Mfg. Co. Inc., P.O.
