Generation Z Cutting Bits

Wirtgen introduced the Generation Z cutting bits with a new geometrical design and enhanced steel quality to significantly increase the wearing volume of such components as the base and the upper and lower parts of the toolholder. The result is an extension of service life and longer service intervals also increase machine availability

• The reshaped carbide tip of the Generation Z point-attack cutting tool has been reinforced and the quality of the carbide material further optimized. This makes the cutting tool less likely to break and more resistant to large blocks of stone and abrasive materials
• These bits offer greater stability when used with the HT22 quick-change toolholder system. The system components are extremely robust, due to the revised geometrical design of the base and of the upper and lower parts of the toolholder, as well as the enhanced steel quality. The hammer head of the redesigned base ensures additional protection against wear
• The direct result for the user is a longer service life of the cutters and the quick-change toolholder system. Due to the resultant advantages – fewer tool changes, fewer and shorter machine downtimes, longer service intervals and higher machine availability – soil can still be stabilized cost-effectively no matter how difficult the conditions may be and even severely damaged road pavements can be recycled efficiently
• Available for all wheeled Wirtgen recyclers and tractor-towed stabilizers
