Heavy duty polishing and grinding machines

They are based on a traditional powered rotating through spindle on which are mounted mops or other consumable abrasive media. For many years two historical UK companies have manufactured these machines with motor windings that were copper laden, over specified and under rated for their quoted power. For this reason they have survived the test of time despite technological improvements in smaller motors with the same power which can burn out under continuous heavy loads. After many rebuilds and the non-availability of spare parts, the traditional polishing machine is now at the end of its life cycle. In response to the on-going industry demand, Surtech have introduced a replacement design built on a robust heavy duty cast iron body for convenient heat dissipation. The machine range is available in many options of power, speed and operational safety. Electrical switchgear is industry standard, guarding is heavy duty steel with spigot connections for dust extraction. The robust specification claims a 10 year guarantee for the motor windings.
