They are composed of strips of abrasive “non-woven fabric” alternated with abrasive cloth strips glued radially around a core.
They are manufactured in various grains, using either "non-woven fabric" with aluminium oxide or silicon carbide.
They are available in different formats and can be used manually on portable machines or on automatic machines or robots. Emery cloth interleaf flap wheels are built in long rolls and then cut to the required thicknesses.
They can be used both on flat and shaped surfaces, adapting perfectly to the shape of the profile.
Emery cloth interleaf flap wheels work in one direction of rotation only.
Advantages
• They can be shaped to perfectly fit the shape of the product to be processed
• The abrasive regenerates automatically during processing, maintaining a constant cutting and finishing capacity
• They can be used in sequence with different combinations of grains
•They allow a quieter working compared to standard emery wheels
• They allow to obtain a semi-finished product compared to standard emery wheels
