Tumble belt blast machine

Quick tooth check device SWISSCUT SW Wil produces HSS, TCT and friction saw blades. The company is also a major re-sharpener of saw blades in its home market in Switzerland, re-sharpening more than 40,000 blades each year. SW Wil sells not only saw blades, but also cutting technology, providing customers with a complete package. The company decided to build the QTC (quick tooth check) device after observing that, in many cases, customers did not get the same cutting performance after performing their own in-house re-sharpening. Customers were asking for a control unit, but there was none on the existing market, or the cost of a unit was too high. The aims of making a control unit were clear: low cost, simple to use, and fast operation. The QTC unit performs shape control in a first step, and angle check in a second step.

lowers overall maintenance cost and improves component accessibility. The repositioning of the 25HP VKPowerMax series blast wheel optimises the blast pattern to make efficient use of wheel performance. The drum heads and side liners are manganese alloy as standard and easily serviced. Other optional features include rotary scalping drum for removing debris from blast media, loader, take away belt, and auxiliary abrasive hopper. Front bucket loaders and custom unloading conveyors are common options for the 1200. Peening requirements are satisfied with optional variable speed blast wheel control, electro magnetic abrasive control valve and classifier, as well as optional PLC and touch screen for pre- programmed, recorded, part-specific recipes. All Viking cartridge style dust collectors are sold with NFPA required deflagration panels as standard.

The new 1200 has a smaller footprint by the integration of themedia lift system and the elimination of the auger, which QUAKER Chemical continues to expand its front to back product offerings for the tube and pipe industry, now into precision seamless tube manufacturing. Quaker Chemical’s cold pilger lubricants, ATLAS™ 3374-140 and ATLAS™ 3374 – DPX, provide an alternative to the traditional chlorinated paraffin containing products for lubrication in the pilgering process. These two products were formulated together and designed to be fully compatible for internal and external lubrication. ATLAS 3374-140 and 3374-DPX have successfully replaced their predecessors
