ESCO® Nexsys® Mining Ripper System

The Nexsys mining ripper system was developed using finite element analysis (FEA) for higher system strength, discrete element modelling (DEM) for greater system stability and extensive field testing. The result is increased reliability, safer in-field replacement, and better performance than conventional ripper systems.

The upgraded nose has higher strength and stability to withstand ripping at its toughest. The optimised point profile assists with material flow and is configured for better penetration while maintaining sharpness throughout its service life. And a sealed hammerless lock simplifies point replacement.

Major system attributes include:

• Increased system reliability for more machine uptime.

• Safer in-field replacement helps protect site personnel.

• Bit wear material increased by more than 45% over Uni-Lok points.

• Improved system performance provides more production.

• Optimised lock makes tooth replacement easier and faster.

• Greater system strength and stability delivers longer life.
