Soft Coal Seam U82 Pick

What's the Secret Behind Duerbote Picks Boosting Coal Mining Efficiency?

In the coal mining industry, "efficiency" is an unavoidable core topic—progress a bit faster, downtime a bit less, and overall benefits can be significantly improved. As the "teeth" of excavation and coal mining equipment, the performance of picks directly affects the mining pace. Duerbote picks stand out in helping coal mines improve efficiency, and it's no accident—there are several solid "secrets" behind it. Let's dive into them today.

Secret One: Duerbote Picks Are Wear-Resistant and Durable, Reducing Downtime for Replacement

For coal mines, nothing hampers efficiency more than frequent downtime to replace picks. Many coal mines previously used picks that wore out quickly—either the edges dulled or the pick body deformed—requiring two or three stops per shift for replacement. Over time, effective operating hours dwindled.

Duerbote picks excel in wear resistance, using high-hardness alloy materials and optimizing the brazing process between the pick tip and body to withstand friction and impact in coal seams. A coal mine in Henan reported that using Duerbote U135 picks with a Sany roadheader resulted in no significant wear after a full shift, eliminating mid-shutdown replacements. The roadheader operated continuously, increasing excavation volume by nearly 20% per shift. With fewer downtime issues, efficiency naturally improved.

Secret Two: Duerbote Picks Adapt to Multiple Working Conditions, Performing Reliably in Complex Environments

Coal mining conditions are never one-size-fits-all—some coal seams mix with hard rock, others are soft and prone to collapse, and some have many impurities and complex structures. Without targeted design, picks either can't cut effectively or break easily, making efficiency gains impossible.

Duerbote picks are specifically optimized for different conditions: for seams with high hard rock content, the alloy layer on the pick tip is thickened to withstand impact and easily "crush" rock; for soft coal seams, the chip flute design is optimized to reduce coal dust clogging and ensure smoother cutting. A coal mine in Shanxi previously used standard picks for soft coal seams and frequently faced jams due to poor chip removal. After switching to Duerbote's adapted picks, jams decreased, and coal production per shift increased by 30%. Workers noted that "operations became much smoother."

Secret Three: Duerbote Picks Offer On-Site Support, Promptly Resolving Usage Issues

Coal mining operations are fast-paced, and if picks encounter problems without timely support, progress can easily be delayed. Many coal mines worry that "once you buy the picks, no one follows up," but with Duerbote picks, this concern is eliminated.

Whenever a coal mine has needs, Duerbote engineers provide dedicated on-site support—checking installation and adjusting cutting parameters when picks are first deployed. During subsequent operations, questions are quickly addressed via phone or video calls, with follow-up visits if necessary. When a coal mine in Shandong started using Duerbote picks, workers were unfamiliar with operational details. An engineer arrived the same day, identified abnormal wear due to incorrect cutting angles, and provided a solution. With such on-site support, coal mines can focus on mining progress without worrying about pick-related issues.

For coal mines, choosing the right picks means choosing the right "efficiency partner." Duerbote picks avoid flashy marketing and instead focus on three practical aspects—wear resistance, adaptability, and service—addressing the pain points of "frequent downtime, poor adaptability, and lack of after-sales support" in coal mining. It’s precisely because of this that more and more coal mines are choosing Duerbote picks, making them a "great partner" for boosting mining efficiency.
