Specifications include, but are not limited to: Snow Plow Blade Design Requirements Carbide dowels on the leading edge positioned to breakup & cut ice. Carbide dome-shaped dowels are securely mounted & isolated from one another to provide optimum breakage resistance. Trailing carbide tungsten blade that cleans ice particles while plowing snow. Carbide tungsten inserts are to be 3/4" in height providing maximum sum of carbide. Blade system made from Kennametal's carbide material (or approved carbide that is made in USA equivalent) that provide maximum wear-life. Interlocking system is made from best impact & wear-resistant steel that includes a warranty against breakage during the wear-life of the system. Welded V-grooves shall be installed to serve as wear-indicators that are evenly spaced and enabling an operator to see at a glance how much carbide is left in each blade. Construction made from various lengths to make combinations for almost any blade length. End-Guard Design Requirements Interlocking end guards are produced at various wear-angle degrees depending on City needs. Interlocking end guards use carbide dowels positioned on the 1-1/2" thick manganese rear-support block. All interlocking end guards have an extra reversed grade & plow bolt with lock nut positioned 1" from the outside of the end-blade providing maximum strength attachment and also hold the end guard level with the blade at all times. Interlocking end guards with embedded carbide dowels shall provide even wear surface throughout the entire length of the blade. Showing deep Weld-V's, shall also be used for wear indicators. This affords operators the ability to see the remaining wear life at a glance. A rear support carbide blade shall be installed with Large insert x (3/4") tall is designed to interact with dowels for removing remaining ice & snow.
