Application and Prospect of Flap Wheel

Flap wheel is one of coated abrasives, which consists of a series of coated abrasive flaps radiating out from the center of the wheel where the flaps are bonded together. Each product is made from hundreds of thousands of abrasive cloth with adhesive. This is the origin of its name.

Flap wheel is a kind of grinding and polishing tools with high efficiency, economy and wide application. In the 1980s, China has set about small-scale production of flap wheel with shaft, and then in order to adapt to the development of the domestic machinery industry and decoration industry, we begun to introduce flap wheel and grinding and polishing machine with flap wheel tool.

Because of the fine grinding and polishing performance and economical and flexible means about the use of flap wheel, it has extensive application prospect, which is widely used in various fields in some developed countries, such as aviation, machinery, automobile, shipbuilding, chemical industry, furniture, building decoration and daily life. The main reason is:

A. Flap wheel made of different raw materials, can be processed almost all materials, such as ferrous metals, stainless steel, copper, aluminum and other non-ferrous metal, and wood, plastic, stone, ceramic, leather and other non-metallic materials.

B. Flap wheel can be processed into various shapes of workpieces, which can processed into not only the plane, inner circle, excircle, but also all kinds of special-shaped workpieces and deep hole grinding, such as metal strip, wires, tubes, all kinds of profiles and long length workpieces, especially used in mass production of automatic production lines. The consistent grinding effect of flap wheel, convenient installation and good heat dissipation performance, are particularly outstanding.

C. Flap wheel can be made into various shapes according to the requirements, and the flexible wheel can rapid engages with the workpiece shape in the process of grinding. Therefore, for deburring, chamfering, the grooves of curved surface workpiece and the polishing of aperture, the grinding effect is prominent. The following pictures are examples of installation on the portable power tools, or flap wheel to process workpieces fixed on the grinding machine.

In recent years, flap wheel has got the wide-ranging emphasis in boiler industry. It achieves good result by using flap wheel polishing for boiler tube before welding, which replaces shot blast cleaning process with vast investment, cumbersome equipment and bad operating conditions.

Currently, flap wheel is widely welcomed by the market, which is inseparable with its wide application, flexible performance, simple production process, low cost, safe and reliable and high efficiency.
