Manufacturing & Quality

  • Maximum two (2) percent in normal and correct mill operating conditions.
  • Replacement free of charge of any quantity in excess of two (2) percent found to be broken for causes not related to incorrect mill operating conditions.
  • This guarantee also applies to any misshapen new balls supplied.
  • Complete range of material handling machines (forklifts, wheel loaders, bobcats and dumpers)
  • Severe ball-to-ball contact can be generally detected by the formation of stress induced martensite on the surface of the balls and/or by the increase of hardness, with possible formation of cracks, on the exposed surface layers of the fragments.
Quality Range Hardness Rockwell C (HRC)
Full Hardness 60 - 65 high abrasion
Intermediate Hardness 55 - 60 combining impact and abrasion resistance
