High Energy - Centrifugal Disc Units
International Surface Preparation features the Walther Trowal line of Turbotron Centrifugal Disc machines. Centrifugal disc machines provide extremely intensive processing.
Compared to vibratory finishing systems centrifugal disc machines offer up to 10 times higher grinding performance. Trowal centrifugal disc machines are well suited for removal of strong burrs and intensive radiusing of small and mid-sized parts.
The rotating spinner (60 – 250 rpm) accelerates the mass of work pieces, media and compound to the wall of the stationary work bowl and pushes the mass upwards along the wall of the work bowl. With decreasing acceleration and increasing gravity, the mass slides back down to the spinner where it is again accelerated.
The high centrifugal forces (25 times the gravity of earth) generate a high pressure and an intensive relative movement between parts and media and thus, a high grinding intensity resulting in shorter processing times.
Walther Trowal offers three categories of centrifugal disc systems:
-
Turbotron B units are suited for manual operation. However by adding peripheral equipment they can be partially automated. Click here for more information on the Walther Trowal TT B centrifugal disc machines.
-
Turbotron SM machines are pivoted systems with flange-on screening machines and an integrated media hopper. Click here for more information on the Walther Trowal TT SM centrifugal disc machines.
-
Turbotron A/2C systems utilize a double batch principle which minimizes expensive idle time and is most suitable for automation. It is also available in a tandem design further increasing productivity. Click here for more information on the Walther Trowal TT A/2C systems.
