Belt grinder for demanding tasks

Offering a belt width of 150 mm, this machine extends the GRIT GIS industrial range for standard professional applications in metal and steel construction. GRIT GIS belt grinders are ideal for coarse grinding and deburring of steel and stainless steel. A three-phase motor with an output of 4 kW is fitted, while the contact plate, with helical grooves, acts like teeth when grinding, thereby increasing the amount of material removed. Drive force is transferred, with virtually no slip to the grinding belt, by a drive pulley coated with polyurethane. Polyurethane coatings improve friction resistance and increase the pulley's service life considerably over those made from aluminium. Quiet operation and low vibration levels also make the user's work much more pleasant. The belt tensioning system patented by GRIT uses a gas spring to automatically control tension and compensate for length tolerances, allowing belts to be easily stretched. The surface grinding table makes the linear grinding of flat materials and profiles possible. When not in use, it can be lowered to preserve the graphite lining between the grinding table and belt. This also greatly cuts maintenance costs. The adjustable work height, removable swarf container and eye guard, which can be adjusted without the need for tools, make the machine particularly user-friendly. A connection to external extraction systems is integrated. All GRIT GIS belt grinders for industrial applications will in future be supplied with a phase-changing connector, allowing the machines to be commissioned without an electrician having to be present.
