Cutting Teeth

 

Cutting Teeth

The single most important component in the entire digging system is the cutting system. Ballantine offers the widest selection of cutting teeth throughout the trenching industry. We manufacture cup cutters with embedded carbide hardfacing to give you maximum performance. We also offer many styles of carbide rock teeth, such as carbide rotary teeth, carbide Terminator® teeth and groundbreakers. Ballantine also stocks a wide variety of adapters for carbide teeth.

  

Cup  Cutter

Ballantine offers many different cup cutters for any chain size, machine manufacturer and digging condition.  Cutters are made from abrasion resistant steel then Terminator® carbide hard facing is robotically applied in a proprietary matrix for increased wear life and digging performance.  Cup cutters are heat treated after hard facing has been applied to ensure consistent hardness throughout the tooth. 

 

Terminator 

Terminator® Chains feature a Terminator® Tooth also known as a “Shark” tooth. The Terminator® Tooth is excellent in hard and mixed rocky soils as well as cutting tree roots and other underground objects. 

 

Rock & Frost 

Use conical carbides (bullet teeth) to penetrate and fracture rock or very hard soils.  Carbides are self-sharpening so long as they are able to turn in the holder.  As the tooth wears down, it is replaceable.  Tool holders or adaptors are available for many different chain sizes.
