Table of Content [Hide]


    Flap wheel is a kind of coated abrasive, which uses alumina as abrasive and is made of cloth base produced by automated production line, then the cloth layers are laminated and fully pasted with resin. It is generally used for grinding and polishing operations on various automatic, electric and manual grinding and polishing machines.


    Pre-use inspection of flap wheel


    Before using it, we need to do some quality inspection in order to better use it. The following are the inspections we need to do:


    • Implement the principle of "first in first out" to ensure the service life of abrasive products and achieve better results.


    • The packaging of the product must be intact, avoid squeezing during transportation, and keep it ventilated and dry to prevent moisture and affect its service life. The bearings used also need to be replaced regularly.


    • If there are impurities on the flap wheel that form small gaps, they should be removed in time. If the quality is a problem and needs to be replaced, it should be done in a timely manner.


    Safety precautions for operating flap wheel


    Flap wheel is a kind of coated abrasive, each product is glued together with hundreds or even thousands of pieces of cloth, and hence the name. To operate flap wheel safely, certain regulations must be observed by flap wheel manufacturers. The specific precautions include the following 10 points:


    • The flap wheel must reach the rated speed before use.


    • The standing position and posture must be standardized, and it is strictly forbidden to operate in front of the flap wheel.


    • Two people are not allowed to use the same flap wheel at the same time, and it is strictly forbidden to surround and operate.


    • Avoid grinding on the side of the flap wheel.


    • It is not allowed to grind large and long objects on a grinding machine to prevent the flap wheel from shaking and flying out to injure people.


    • The tool should be held tightly to prevent it from falling off and getting stuck in the protective cover and breaking the flap wheel.


    • It is not allowed to use any object to knock it.


    • It is not allowed to wear gloves for operation.


    • Do not put your head close to the flap wheel, and avoid the direction of sparks splashing out of it.


    • It is not allowed to use a grinding machine without a protective cover.


    It is important to follow the operating regulations for shaft flap wheel to ensure safety and product quality, achieving better results. The inspection of the flap wheel's quality should be carried out from various aspects such as quality, production date, shelf life, etc., to ensure the quality of its use. Flap wheel is hard and wear-resistant, has strong elasticity, sharp cutting, high processing efficiency, high safety, simple and convenient continuous operation, and is a better choice for surface treatment of general grinding products.
