OVERVIEW

Professional Surface Conditioning with Pferd POLINOX®

The Pferd POLINOX® Non-Woven Drum (SKU: 46786) is a premium abrasive tool designed for industrial surface finishing applications. Engineered with German precision, this 5-inch by 4-inch drum features a PNL construction, meaning it is composed of radially arranged non-woven abrasive flaps. This specific configuration is highly effective for working on large surfaces where consistency and uniformity are paramount. The 100 grit rating places this drum in the medium-fine category, making it an excellent choice for the initial stages of satin finishing or for blending minor surface imperfections without removing significant base material.

One of the standout features of the POLINOX® PNL series is its ability to adapt to the contours of the workpiece. The flexible non-woven flaps compress slightly during operation, providing a cushioning effect that prevents gouging and ensures a smooth, even scratch pattern. This is particularly important in industries such as food processing, pharmaceutical equipment manufacturing, and architectural metalworking, where the aesthetic quality of stainless steel surfaces is critical. The drum is designed to mount securely onto drum grinders and linear finishing tools equipped with a keyed shaft, ensuring positive torque transmission without slippage.

At Josef Gas, we understand that achieving the perfect finish requires the right abrasive technology. The Pferd 46786 drum excels in heat management; the open structure of the non-woven material allows for airflow, which keeps the grinding zone cool. This significantly reduces the risk of heat discoloration or warping on thin-walled stainless steel components. Whether you are refurbishing metal tanks, finishing handrails, or preparing surfaces for coating, this non-woven drum offers the durability and performance required for high-volume industrial environments.

Key Benefits for Industrial Users:

  • Consistent Finish: The radial flap design ensures that fresh abrasive grain is continuously exposed, maintaining a uniform finish throughout the life of the wheel.
  • Versatility: Suitable for use on a wide range of metals, including stainless steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous alloys.
  • Durability: High-quality non-woven material resists loading and glazing, extending the operational life of the drum.

FAQ

This drum is designed for linear finishing tools (burnishers) or drum grinders that accept a 5-inch diameter wheel and have a keyed shaft (typically 19mm or 3/4 inch with keyway).

This specific POLINOX® drum is 100 Grit, which is considered a medium texture suitable for general conditioning and initial satin finishing.

Yes, the non-woven material is suitable for aluminum and helps prevent loading, although it is primarily optimized for stainless steel finishing.

PNL refers to the construction type where the non-woven abrasive material is arranged in radial flaps (lamellas), providing flexibility and a consistent finish.

No, this is a non-woven finishing drum designed for surface conditioning, blending, and finishing, not for heavy stock removal or grinding welds down.

Unlike a coated abrasive flap wheel which cuts more aggressively, this non-woven drum provides a softer touch for satin finishing and blending without altering the geometry of the part significantly.

While specific RPMs vary by application, non-woven drums generally perform best at lower speeds (typically 1,500 - 3,000 RPM) to prevent overheating and melting the synthetic fibers.
