Domite vs. Shark-Bite^©

If you're interested in doubling your wear life, higher extraction rates or a wear tip that does not break or crack, then it's time to go out with the old and in with the new Shark-Bite^© Tungsten Carbide tips and blades.

The only thing harder than tungsten carbide is diamonds and that's just what you'll find in our Magnum Shark-Bite^© tunsteng carbide tips. With our tips, as wear occurs extraction rates climb because the corners of the tips do not "round out" like the Domite^® tips or hard-facing. (Once you try Shark-Bite^©, you'll never use Domite¨ or hardfacing again.) Our Shark Bite tips outlast Domite^®!

Magnum Shark-Bite^© Tips increases extraction substantially by actually "exploding" the cane fibers utilizing the rough, jagged edges of the exposed carbide particles that self-sharpen as they wear. The more they wear, the more the tungsten carbide particles are exposed and thereby creating a higher extraction. (Domite^® loses production when the corners round out with wear) Shark-Bite^© doesn't round out, but remains jagged with wear and will not break or crack when iron, steel or rocks enter your mill.

Magnum Shark-Bite^© Tips can be welded or bolted to your cane knife or shredder hammers.

One sugar mill increased extraction from 94% to 98.8% with Magnum Shark-Bite^© Tips.

What does this mean?

700,000 tons of cane were ground with Domite¨ before the tips had to be changed.
With Magnum Shark-Bite^© Tips, the entire crop was ground and yielded more than 2,000,000 tons of cane ground without changing the tips (while dramatically increasing the extraction rate). An incredible amount of juice was recovered at the cane knife set and even more in the mills! Due to the unique shape of the carbides, Magnum Shark-Bite^© Tips added over $1 million onto the bottom line through the increased extraction and less down time changing blades.
