Bonded And Coated Abrasives

Grinding wheels are composed of abrasives and binders with which various materials can be mechanically processed. There are ceramically bonded (vitrified) grinding wheels and resin bonded grinding wheels. Furthermore there are coated abrasives, e.g. sand paper. For the production of these products, a constant high-quality supply of abrasive media is important. Quality is characterised by the absolute accuracy of chemical composition, grain size distribution, crystal structure and bulk density.

Plating

BeschichtenPlating describes the process of applying a firmly adhered layer to a substrate. The aim of plating is to positively influence the properties of a substrate both chemically and physically.

An important criterion for assessing the quality of plating is its adhesive strength, which characterises how well the applied layer adheres to the substrate. This parameter can be greatly influenced by treating the substrate with an angular blast media.

The blast process roughens the component, and the resulting surface finish ensures a considerable improvement in adhesion, thereby significantly increasing the quality of the plating.

Foundries

GießereienFoundries are high-performance centres in which castings are manufactured from a wide variety of materials for numerous industries. They undertake work ranging from complex individual parts to mass production.

Many casting processes require a uniform surface finish at the end of the machining process. The desired performance is achieved through targeted surface treatment which meets the high requirements in terms of dimensional accuracy, mechanical stress and surface quality.
Essential for an effective surface treatment process which guarantees the desired surface finish is the choice of a suitable abrasive.

Laminate

LaminatThe term laminate refers to a floor or decorative covering consisting of several layers. The overlay or top layer functions as protection for the laminate from everyday wear and tear. To ensure the desired abrasion resistance, fused alumina is added to the adhesive of the overlay.

Our premium quality aluminium oxide has become particularly well established, fulfilling not only the special requirements for abrasion resistance and transparency, but also the required degree of whiteness. The extremely high purity allows an unobstructed view of the decorative paper of the laminate.

Floor Blasting

Mobiles KugelstrahlenFloor blasting is mainly done in building construction and renovation. It represents an important preparation step for floors having special properties and requirements.
Mobile machines blast steel balls to clean the surface to be processed without leaving any residue. A resilient and hard-wearing floor coating can then be applied.

Mobile blasting machines discard small steel balls, which clean the surface to be processed without leaving any residue. Afterwards, a resilient and hard-wearing floor layer can be applied.

Modern extraction technology ensures that shot peening can be carried out almost dust-free despite the release of dirt and old coating. The abrasive is cleaned within the unit and used in the circuit for many cycles. As with other blasting applications, the correct choice of blasting medium is decisive for the economic efficiency and the result of the process.
