Every manufacturer who grinds carbide tools knows that even a slight nick in the rake angle or an inconsistent surface on your carbide tool can mean that you will have to spend hours on rework which dramatically increases your costs. Hence, at Transor India, we design filtration systems that will fit your needs while saving you money and minimizing overall costs.

You can get more out of your grinding wheel.

If you are in the business of grinding carbide tools, you will know the problem. The grinding wheel gets clogged up with carbide particles, reducing its life and damaging it.
During grinding carbide tools, the particles enter the voids of the grinding wheel, which blunt the cutting edges. These blunt cutting edges result in unnecessary heat generated during machining, causing premature wheel failure.

Your cutting tools will last longer.

Carbide is one of the hardest materials on earth. It’s also among the rarest; therefore, carbide tools are expensive. Hence, it’s logical that every carbide tool user wants to ensure they invest in the longest-lasting cutting tools. Therefore, if you are a manufacturer who grinds carbide tools and can claim to provide tools with the longest possible service hours, you gain a significant competitive advantage!

Hence, it’s essential to have an effective filtration system when grinding carbide tools. This way, you’ll know that there are no floating carbide particles in your oil. 

When your oil has floating particles, it can cause micro-dents on the surface of your tools. Such inconsistencies affect their edges and make them unusable. Moreover, coating a tool with a bad surface is challenging since the coating doesn’t adhere to the substrate.

Proper grinding oil is critical to making a quality cutting tool.

Nothing is more important than the right grinding oil when grinding carbide tools. And when we say “right,” we mean the kind filtered with Transor India systems.
Our experience with more than 350 installations has shown that carbide-free grinding oil improves finished tool life by up to 30%, and that’s just one of its many benefits. It also:

  1. Reduces surface roughness and improves finish
  2. Increases heat dissipation and improves flushing of ground carbide
  3. Improves wheel life by up to 46%

Grinding carbide tools? Recover 94 percent carbide

Carbide is a costly material. Hence, it has a high scrap value. Therefore, installing an inefficient grinding oil filtration system will lead to losses because of the amount of carbide wasted.
Experiences of manufacturers who are into grinding carbide tools show that the Transor India system recovers almost 94% of the ground carbide from the oil.
For example, if you grind 1 kg of carbide per day. With the Transor system, you will recover 940 gms/day. The current scrap value of carbide of 900 Rs./Kg translates into Rs. 846 / day or approximately $10 / day.
 

As a result, Transor is a preferred partner for manufacturers who are into grinding carbide tools. We customize our systems to your needs, and we can help you get started with a unit that fits your budget and your space requirements.
Investing in a Transor system lets you grind carbide tools at a lower cost. Your machines will run more efficiently, and you’ll be able to produce more tools faster.
