The company owes its continuous success to high-quality products, individual solutions and fast response times. Resch-Ka-Tec relies on premium materials and state-of-the-art production processes for its products. SSAB was there from the beginning with Hardox® as wear plate and later with Strenx® as structural steel. The company has been a partner of Hardox® In My Body for over 9 years. The Hardox® In My Body mark stands for products manufactured to the highest standards by a qualified Hardox® In My Body member.
Resch-Ka-Tec is one of the first German manufacturers of loading buckets and excavator buckets to install Hardox® 500 Tuf wear steel. The steel is currently available with sheet thicknesses of up to 25.4 mm. Trials with a material thickness of 30 mm are already underway. The material has the same toughness as Hardox® 450, but, with 500 HBW, it offers significantly greater hardness. SSAB’s measurements showed up to 30% longer equipment service life when put to comparable use.
“We already brought the company on board ahead of time because of its wide range of designs and solutions. We provided Resch-Ka-Tec with pre-production materials for processing trials in advance,” explains Christoph Bednarz Regional Sales Manager (RSM) for South West Germany from SSAB.
“SSAB products are the main ingredient in Resch-Ka-Tec products and guarantee extremely high quality. For this reason, we welcome new or further developments. The first tests of Hardox® 500 Tuf were convincing. Great progress can be seen, especially in processing, forming and welding.”
