Drum Mixer Tips

Kenco Engineering offers many popular asphalt drum mixer tips, in 700 Brinell hardness for longer wearlife. All Kenco tips feature a unique "boss" around a deeply recessed bolt hole, in order to provide significantly more protection of bolt heads.

FAQ's

How many Kenco Longhorn™ cleaner tips should be installed in the drum mixer?
While quantity and positioning of Longhorn™ cleaner tips is at the discretion of the plant operator, Kenco recommends the installation of Longhorn™ tips in all positions of those two rows where liquid AC enters the drum. Then using a spiral pattern, insert (1) Longhorn™ tip in each remaining row to help auger material completely out of the drum.
​​​​​​​
When is the best time to install Kenco Longhorn™ cleaner tips?
While Longhorn™ cleaner tips can help to remove existing buildup of hardened asphalt, the best time to install them is when the drum is clean. If this is done, Longhorn™ tips have proven to reduce new asphalt buildup by as much as 50%.
