Causes and prevention methods of flap wheel waste

Release Date:2023-09-22 11:36

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.
