Advantages of WASUFI®

Why you should choose a WASUFI® & what are the advantages of a WASUFI® with turning process compared to a common grinding machine…?

The WASUFI® innovation allows for easy on-site roll machining by employees with automatic alignment, saving time and giving a competitive advantage by avoiding the need to ship rolls off-site for repairs. The WASUFI® also allows for the fixing of polygon effects, which was previously not possible with traditional grinding methods.

  • It is Safe - no sparks are generated reducing the potential risk of causing a fire or explosion from nearby grain dust or hexane fumes.
  • It is Clean - no grinding dust is generated alleviating the need to wear a respirator when resurfacing the rolls.
  • It is Quick - a set of rolls can be resurfaced in approximately 40 hours depending on the amount of material that needs to be removed, its condition, and its corrugation.
