Samscreen’s blow bars feature our exclusive MAXWEAR technology.

Just because a blow bar looks like, weighs the same and supposedly has the same chemistry, does not mean that they are the same and only bars with Samscreen’s MAXWEAR logo cast into the body can call themselves MAXWEAR. All Samscreen blow bar metallurgies are infused with MAXWEAR Ceramic insert technology (MAXC) which increases wear life significantly, giving the bars extreme wear resistance coupled with the benefits of the base metallurgy. Choose from Samscreen’s standard blow bar offerings:

• SAM-2 (+MAXC): Martensitic alloy, great resistance to impact, a medium resistance to abrasion. Usually recommended for the recycling business or working conditions where there’s possibility of uncrushable objects entering the crusher chamber (excavator tooth, rebar, etc). Also, in cases where there is excessive feed size. This is the most versatile alloy, and in case of doubt, provides a great wear option and with no risk of breakage.

• SAM-25.1/SAM-25BC/SAM-25HC (+MAXC): These are different variations of high chrome with high hardness, great abrasion resistance, and lower resistance to impact. To be applied where working conditions are such that there’s almost no chance of big feed size or uncrushable objects being introduced. We recommend it for tertiary and some secondary crushing with a prepared and consistent feed size. Feed size control should be 10% smaller in size than the one indicated by the crusher manufacturer, and if possible, Metal Detectors are strongly recommended. The crusher setup, blow bar geometry and working conditions will determine selection.

• SAM-550/SAM-600 (+MAXC): Also high chrome, but in comparison to SAM-25.1/SAM-25BC/SAM-25HC (+MAXC), these have slight lower hardness. In the case of incomplete data on the crushing environment but suggesting a high chrome bar, these are good starting points. The crusher setup, blow bar geometry and working conditions will determine selection.
