en.Wedoany.com Reported - KAAST Machine Tools (based in Alden, Pennsylvania) has introduced the DG Series drum grinders, an industrial wide-belt grinding system for metal surface finishing applications, designed to enhance efficiency and consistency in grinding, deburring, and surface preparation processes for ferrous and non-ferrous metal materials.
The DG Series grinders reduce the need for manual finishing operations after laser cutting, plasma cutting, welding, and forming processes. The equipment features a heavy-duty vibration-resistant frame and a wide abrasive belt, capable of handling both light finishing and heavy stock removal, helping to ensure consistent surface quality on large workpieces.
The grinder is equipped with variable-speed conveyor belt control, allowing operators to adjust the feed rate based on material type, thickness, and finishing requirements. The system is compatible with aluminum oxide, zirconia, and ceramic abrasive belts, and is available in dry or wet grinding configurations. The wet grinding function helps reduce heat buildup during processing while extending abrasive life.
For high-volume environments, the equipment offers optional automation features, including automatic infeed and outfeed tables, PLC-based grinding parameter monitoring, and automatic height adjustment. Multiple units can be integrated in series to form a continuous metal finishing line, improving production efficiency and repeatability.
The grinder is available in multiple configurations, with a maximum working width of up to 1,300 mm (51 inches) and a maximum abrasive belt size of up to 1,320 × 1,900 mm (52 × 75 inches). Depending on the model, motor power can reach up to 28 kW (37.5 hp).
KAAST states that the series is aimed at factories seeking to improve finishing consistency and reduce labor-intensive manual grinding, while also helping to enhance secondary finishing processes such as coating and paint preparation.
