The Christchurch-based surface-finishing and deburring company Ellesco Ltd (www.ellesco.co.uk) is holding an Open House event 20-22 September.

The company is inviting companies to bring along problem parts to trial on a range of Grindingmaster Timesaver machines.

The four Timesavers machines on display will be the Timesavers 10 series 1300MGVT, the 12 series 600WB, the 22 series 900W and the 42 series WRB machine. Ellesco will also have a range of cost-effective used and refurbished surface finishing machines available for immediate delivery.

The smallest machine at the event will be the Timesavers 10 series 1300MGVT manual grinder. The 10 series has a grinding wheel and a flap brush that can be tilted 180° on the head. The tilting head and weight-bearing arm enhance the operator experience with easy aggregates changeovers and a support mechanism for generating uniform surface finishes.

The 12 series WB machine is a ‘belt and brush’ machine and will be demonstrated at the event in its 600mm wide format. Ideal for working up to a component thickness of 125mm with a 600mm width, the series can feed parts at a rate from 3 to 9m/minute for consistent and speedy surface finishing. The machine has a 9kW motor and a total weight of 650kg.

For more robust applications, Ellesco will be demonstrating the 22 series 900W machine. For wider parts up to 900mm, this single head machine for the deburring and finishing of sheet metal parts offers a wide selection of heads and widths to accommodate most sheet metal finishing tasks. THe 900W is renowned for being one of the most flexible machines in the Timesavers stable.

At the September event, Ellesco will be putting the 1350WRB variant of the Timesavers 42 series through its paces on customer parts. With a wide abrasive belt for the pre-grinding removal of heavy burrs from parts and a follow-up multi-directional brush that uniformly deburrs and finishes edges of laser cut, punched and machined parts in a single pass, the model is one of Ellesco’s bestselling machines.

In addition, there will be abrasives experts from Hermes Coated Abrasives on hand to discuss the technical aspects of the company’s ranges of abrasive belts, brushes and consumables.
