Weiler Abrasives' new blending disc lineup

Weiler Abrasives has announced its new blending disc product lineup that is ideal for a wide range of blending, weld cleaning and polishing needs.

“These new blending discs improve performance and results across the entire product portfolio, including significant gains with our top-performing ceramic offerings,” says Andrew Koch, product manager. “Operations can make big strides in productivity because these products work more efficiently and last longer.”

The blending discs are available in ceramic, zirconia alumina and aluminum oxide grain options. The new ceramic discs feature a denser grain coating that provides more cutting surface area, increasing the material removal rate. In addition, an improved ceramic grain formulation is designed to micro-fracture, breaking down to provide more sharp edges for enhanced performance. In product testing, the new ceramic blending discs increased material removal by 35% and product life by 50% compared to previous offerings.

The improved zirconia alumina and aluminum oxide blending discs also deliver better performance and product life. In addition, the expanded blending disc portfolio provides more connection types, with all of the grain options in the lineup now available in Type S and Type R connections. All the discs are now available with a resin fiber or cloth backing. The resin fiber backing helps reduce the pressure an operator must apply to the disc to maximize the cut rate. It also helps retain the grain on the disc, increasing disc life. The cloth backing offers a more comfortable disc that gives the operator greater control of material removal. The Weiler Abrasives blending disc portfolio also includes a line of aluminum discs that remains unchanged.

“The focus is on helping our customers find the right disc and the most cost-effective disc for their application,” Koch says.
