Ground engaging tools (GET)

Sandvik ground engaging tools (G.E.T.) (Former name Shark Abrasion Systems) are specifically designed for machinery used in underground mining. Considered to be the most advanced and cost effective system available in the market today, Sandvik G.E.T. provides consistent cost per tonne savings by extending the operating cycle of a bucket, prone to cracking and high wear exposure. The hammerless design of the locking system allows for easier change outs of individual shrouds. The design also allows for re-tensioning of the shroud against the lip, which eliminates wear in this area so the shrouds can be changed out without having to change the complete lip. The use of heel shrouds minimizes the exposure of the bottom of the bucket shell during the loading cycle, prolonging the life of the bucket.

Cast corners

Former name: Blue Pointer series 2
By adding structural strength as well as high wear protection to bucket corners, bucket life is significantly extended. This area of the bucket is prone to cracking and high wear exposure, limiting the life of the bucket shell – Sandvik GET systems provide consistent cost per tonne savings by extending the operating cycle of the bucket.

Mechanical locking system

Former name: Shark Blue Pointer series 2
The hammerless design of Sandvik mechanical locking system allows easy change outs of individual shrouds. In addition, it enables easy re-tensioning of the shroud against the lip – eliminating wear in this area so that the shrouds can be changed out without having to change the complete lip. This system increases the life of the base lip – again significantly reducing costs.

Heel shrouds

Former name: Shark
The use of Sandvik heel shrouds minimises the exposure of the bottom of the bucket shell during the loading cycle – further prolonging bucket life, and reducing costs.
