Our
new product innovations keep us in the lead, which means
we can help you stay in the lead over your competition,
too. Our new three-step Pro-Point tool selection
system lets you choose the block/sleeve/conical
combination that best fits your mining operation (whether
high-horsepower longwall shearer or mid-horsepower
continuous miner) to achieve optimum productivity.
Our
premium-carbide, tri-blade RX3 roof rocket tool drills
holes 40% faster than any existing tooling on the market,
lasts up to 150% longer than standard styles, even in
extremely hard top, and is more efficient with lower
thrust pressure than other standard tools. Plus, it's
quieter than other roof cutting tools.
Our
new super-strong K225 block is the ideal choice for
extremely high-horsepower machines, while the K175 is best
for medium- to high-horsepower operations.
Both attach easily to the tops of drum veins and accept a
wide selection of premium Kennametal cutting tools and
sleeves. Kennametal offers a complete line of Easy Pull
tools with angled body notches for quick, easy, and
accurate tool changeouts, which means less downtime and
more productivity for you!
We
manufacture a wide range of tooling systems for surface
drilling and crusher/feeder breaker applications. Our
Kenclaw® tool drills blast holes and water wells with
twice the speed of standard cutting tools! Kenclaw is
ideally suited for soft to medium formations where the
drill may encounter alternating layers of soft clay or
sand rock and hard shale and possibly stall. It's
available in a wide selection of sizes and with numerous
options.
Innovation,
perseverance, and close attention to customer needs have
characterized Kennametal Inc. (NYSE: KMT) since its
founding. In 1938, after years of research, metallurgist
Philip M. McKenna created a tungsten-titanium carbide
alloy for cutting tools
that provided a productivity breakthrough in the
machining of steel.
"Kennametal" cut faster and lasted longer, and
thereby facilitated metalworking in products from
automobiles to airliners to machinery. With his invention,
Philip started the McKenna Metals Company in Latrobe,
Pennsylvania. Later renamed Kennametal, the corporation
has become a world leader in the metalworking industry and
remains headquartered in Latrobe.
