Introducing ProMet III, the new generation of our lip protection system, with improved locking system

As a result of the continuous innovation of our products, we are pleased to present our new range of lip protection, ProMet III, whose improved locking system is formed by a new weld-on base and a new locking assembly. The protectors, on the other hand, have no new modifications with respect to ProMet II.

The locking system of ProMet III is common to the entire range of lip protectors, which include plate lips, cast lips and rope shovels.

Composed of a block, a plate and a bolt, the new locking assembly brings the following benefits to the system:

• Greater reliability against loss or fall in the most demanding uses, thanks to the replacement of the pin and retainer with a bolt and a plate that offer better performance.

• Reduction of replacement time, by minimizing the effects caused by compaction to the bolt, facilitating cleaning and subsequent handling.

• Increased safety because the bolt is handled from the top, improving its usability.

• Improved management by having unified all three components in a single part number.

ProMet III locking assembly for Cast Lips and Rope Shovels is compatible with previous weld-on bases. Below, we show the compatibility table between ProMet II and III for Plate Lips:

* If you have stock of weld-on bases of ProMet II (for Plate Lips), and want to change to the locking assembly of ProMet III, machining is required. If this is your case, please contact your Area Manager.

The new ProMet III bases have already been in supply for the last two months. Despite this, the ProMet II locking system will still be available during the next year.
