Causes and prevention methods of flap wheel waste+ 查看更多
Manufacturing quality flap wheels is the goal of all abrasive manufacturers but sometimes this goal can be compromised due to a variety of factors. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the causes behind flap wheel waste and discuss effective prevention methods.
1. Gel Formation
Causes:
- Excessive viscosity of the filling adhesive leads to poor wetting ability.
- Low curing temperature results in low adhesive penetration.
- Inconsistent length of flap wheels causes some to not come into contact with the filling adhesive.
Prevention:
- Adjust the adhesive viscosity appropriately.
- Ensure the correct curing temperature.
- Standardize the size of flap wheels.
2. Shaft Dislodgment
Causes:
- Oil contamination on the shaft affects the bonding with the filling adhesive.
Prevention:
- Clean the shaft with a solvent before use.

3. Large Air Bubbles in the Shaft Core
Causes:
- Filling adhesive is poured too quickly.
- Air bubbles are trapped in the adhesive after mixing.
Prevention:
- Pour the adhesive slowly and handle with care.
- Allow the adhesive to sit for a period after mixing; use a glass rod to remove air bubbles after pouring.
4. Incomplete Shaft Core
Causes:
- Filling adhesive has high viscosity and poor flowability.
- Low curing temperature leads to inadequate flowability.
Prevention:
- Adjust the viscosity of the adhesive appropriately.
- Ensure the correct curing temperature.
5. Adhesive Overflow
Causes:
- Filling adhesive has a low viscosity.
- High curing temperature.
- Excessive gap.
Prevention:
- Adjust the adhesive viscosity appropriately.
- Ensure the correct curing temperature.
- Tighten the mold securely.
By implementing these prevention methods, manufacturers can significantly reduce flap wheel waste during production. This leads to higher-quality products and increased efficiency for your customers. Consistent quality control and adherence to best practices are essential in ensuring the reliability and functionality of your flap wheel production.
