Flow tuning boosted with Kennametal’s Extrude Hone MF Progress

Fuel system manufacturers seeking the best performance require flexible, high flow grinding and high flow test capabilities to achieve finely tuned orifices in numerous design variations. To this end, Kennametal Precision Surface Solutions is launching Extrude Hone MF Progress, the next generation of flow tuning and flow measurement technology featuring a flow targeting accuracy to within ±1%.

The MF Progess is aimed at orifices of 100-350 micron in parts less than 30 mm in diameter (flow rates up to 5 l/min). Customers also benefit from a self-contained modular construction for each process (grinding, flush, flow testing) and configurable hardware, such as manifolds and frequency drives.

This all takes place in a 25% reduced machine footprint and, according to Kennametal, with 50% less tool wear, compared to previous generation equipment. Extrude Hone MF Progress is available in various station layouts and comes with expanded on-screen maintenance capabilities and improved filtration.
