Optimize Your Processes with AxFlow's Expertise
In the vast landscape of metalworking, surface treatment of metallic workpieces is a critical process. Techniques like grinding, smoothing, polishing, matting, and deburring are essential across various industries, from ship propeller manufacturing to automotive component production. This versatile method, known as Slide Grinding or Trowalizing®, not only refines the surfaces of raw parts but also finds applications in degreasing, de-oiling, and descaling metal components.
Understanding Slide Grinding
In Slide Grinding, unmachined raw parts are placed in a container with abrasives and an aqueous additive. Oscillating or rotating movements create relative motion between the workpiece and the grinding wheel, resulting in material removal, especially from sharp edges. The process intensity, known as sliding chips, is controlled by the vibratory grinding technology, grinding wheel type, and additives, determining the achieved surface quality or roughness.
Recycling Grinding Wastewater
Due to heightened environmental awareness, recycling grinding wastewater has become essential. This contaminated water, laden with abrasive particles, needs efficient pumping for recovery.
