Basket flights can be produced with several modifications to improve the life of the part. One of these modifications is by simply using a thicker bar along the top.
BLS Enterprises will manufacture your flights to your specifications to suit your drum. We typically use a 0.75″ x 0.75″ square rod for the tops of them, which is superior to OEM versions. Not only is it better, but we can also produce them at a cheaper cost for you.
We can also duplicate virtually any other style of flighting that your drum uses. Our goal is to reduce your cost per ton of asphalt produced, and to reduce your unscheduled downtime. You can be assured that we’ll be using the very best quality of materials and workmanship.

Bolt on Wear Plates
Bolt-on wear plates are an excellent way to line drag conveyor floors, inlet chutes, cones and many other areas of high wear. They are available in a wide range of sizes and can be cut to fit your specific application.
Other wear plates on the market are made of Ni-Hard, which, according to ASTM A-532/532M, are Class 1, Type A, B, C or D “white iron”. They have a range of 1.4% chromium to a maximum 11% Cr, depending on whether it’s a Type A, B, C or D.
BLS' bolt-on wear plates are made of High-Cr (M7C3), which is Class 111, Type A (ASTM A-532/532M) classification of white iron. This classification has a chromium content between 23-30%. Our High-Cr plates are made of 27% chromium and are several steps up the ladder from Ni-Hard in quality and performance for abrasion and impact resistance.
High-Cr plates are less reliant on the “chilling” process to achieve their hardness than Ni-Hard, due to its chemical composition. In addition, the hardness is more consistent through the entire thickness. Chromium also has a lower co-efficient of friction as well, which adds to its abrasion-resistance properties. We have a various number of sizes available. Call us at (833) 236-5225 for sizes and availability.
Chromium Carbide
BLS Enterprises offers ACEBOND Chromium Carbide screeds and floors for pavers, pick-up machines and plant applications. Chromium carbide floor plates are designed to reduce the friction between the floors, the chain and bar assembly and the aggregate, increasing overall wear-life of the chain and bar.
We also offer augers, screeds and extension plates, tracks and components and chain and bar assemblies for various pavers, MC30/MC330 machines, pick-up machines, Shuttlebuggies MTV®, Flow Boy/Red River trailers, plant chains, motors, gearboxes and components.
