Kenco Engineering has been solving wear problems for asphalt producers and construction equipment owners since 1957. If you have a wear problem contact us. Chances are we can solve your problem, too.
ImagenCORNER PROTECTOR
Frequently, front end loader bucket wear is most severe at the corners. Kenco Engineering tungsten carbide impregnated Bucket Corner Protectors provide a solution to corner wear, thus extending bucket life and productivity. Corner Protectors are cast in a design that provides wear protection both inside and out.
ImagenCUTTING EDGE
Many popular cutting edges are in stock, ready for direct OEM replacement on machines including Caterpillar, Deere, Kawasaki, Komatsu, and VME.

Kenco can provide custom tungsten carbide patterns to meet special wear conditions for any cutting edge.

ImagenHEEL PLATES
Kenco manufactures tungsten carbide impregnated Heel Plates for all front end loader buckets. They serve an important function of protecting the bottom of the bucket from wear. Heel Plates may be either weld-on or bolt-on design.
ImagenMODULAR BUCKET LINERS
Kenco modular bucket liners uniquely combine the benefits of longer wearlife and ease of installation. Simply install AR 500 steel strips that are cut to length and notched at the Kenco factory for fast, easy welding. Lengths are calculated to allow offset of seams in adjoining rows. The narrow Kenco strip widths readily match any bucket radius, eliminating fit problems frequently encountered with large, bulky single piece bucket liners.
ImagenMOLDBOARDS
Kenco Engineering bucket moldboards are made from high-grade structural steel to provide maximum bucket strength. To avoid unnecessary replacement of worn moldboards (a task that is expensive, time consuming, and requires special tools) Kenco recommends the Moldboard Protection systems shown below.
ImagenNUT SHIELDS
Kenco Nut Shields virtually eliminate wear on nuts used to attach bolt-on cutting edges. Cutting edges will not come loose because of lost nuts. Nut shields also prevent nuts from loosening and aid in bucket clean-out. They come in all standard sizes and are easily welded into place.
ImagenSIDE PROTECTORS
Kenco one-piece design Chromium Carbide Side Protectors solve bucket side wear problems. Factory applied stripes of chromium carbide hardfacing provide ample wear protection, while keeping costs significantly less than solid plates of overlay material. Kenco Side Protectors are ideal when structural re-inforcement of worn, weakened bucket sides is necessary. They can be custom manufactured to meet all size and shape requirements.
ImagenSKID RUNNERS
Kenco manufactures tungsten carbide impregnated Skid Runners for all front end loader buckets. They are used to protect the bottom of the bucket from wear. Skid Runners are usually weld-on in design, with an all tungsten carbide wear surface. Skid Runners are useful in many other abrasive wear applications
ImagenTOOTH
Kenco tungsten carbide impregnated teeth and adapters are available for direct replacement of many popular OEM styles. Kenco crushed tungsten carbide is impregnated into high wear areas to significantly increase tooth and adapter wear life. We also have the capability of impregnating customer supplied teeth and adapters at our factory.
ImagenWEAR PATCH
Kenco Wear Patch provides a highly effective solution to abrasive wear problems on the sides of front end loader buckets. Flat and curved Wear Patch pieces install quickly on bucket sides and lips using Mig wire or common electrodes. Wear Patches are through-hardened to 60-63 Rockwell C for superior wear life. They can easily be cut with a torch to fit irregular shaped areas
ImagenHSI APRON LINERS
Kenco Engineering's tungsten carbide impregnation process has proven effective in increasing wear life of apron liners in horizontal shaft impact (HSI) crushers. As an alternative to factory-style manganese apron liners, Kenco offers custom manufactured tungsten carbide impregnated AR steel liners.
ImagenHSI APRON WALL
Kenco Engineering tungsten carbide impregnated liners provide the solution to side wall wear problems in horizontal shaft impact (HSI) crushers. In many crushing applications, factory-style manganese side wall liners do not receive sufficient impact to "work harden". Kenco HSI liners are impregnated to a minimum depth of .25" with tungsten carbide particles, providing a wear surface hardness of 90 Rockwell A at the time of installation.
ImagenJAW CHEEK PLATES
Kenco Engineering tungsten carbide impregnated Cheek Plates provide the solution to wear problems encountered with jaw-type crushers. In many crushing applications, factory-style manganese cheek plates do not get sufficient impact to "work harden". Kenco cheek plates are impregnated to a minimum depth of .25" with tungsten carbide particles, providing a wear surface of 90 Rockwell A at the time of installation.
ImagenWEAR PATCHS
Kenco Wear Patch provides a highly effective solution to abrasive wear problems in many applications. Wear Patch comes in a variety of shapes and sizes that can be installed on virtually any flat metal wear surface or exposed edge, using Mig wire or common electrodes. Wear Patches are through-hardened to 60-63 Rockwell C for superior wear life. They can easily be cut with a torch to fit irregular shaped areas.
ImagenWEAR PLATES
Kenco Engineering Wear Plates are available in numerous flat, easy to manage rectangular sizes ranging in thickness from .375" to 1.000". They are cast from exclusive Kenco Alloy-K with a nominal hardness of 550 Brinell. Optionally, Wear Plates are available in 700 Brinell. Kenco Wear Plates have holes cast in place for fast, convenient installation with either weld washers or bolts
