The Fettling Bottleneck
In many foundries, cleaning castings—removing flash, gates, and risers—is a major bottleneck. The work is labor-intensive and hard on both the operator and the equipment.
Specialized Foundry Wheels
Apidor has developed specialized depressed centre wheels specifically for foundries. These wheels use a tougher bond that resists the glazing often caused by the sand and scale found on raw castings.
The Rise of Ceramic Alumina
While Zirconia has been the premium choice for years, Ceramic Alumina grains are now making waves in foundry applications. Ceramic grains fracture at an even finer level than Zirconia, providing unparalleled continuous cutting action on heavy cast iron and manganese steel.
