Optimized weld placement for durability and performance
Protecting welds and maximizing durability with optimized plate design.
Shifting the weld area can increase wear, but overlapping plates keep welds protected. Tests with Valast® show negligible plastic strain, as the main impact occurs at the tipper’s center—keeping weld zones outside the highest wear areas.
