OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Grinding with Pferd POLIFAN

The Pferd 63032 POLIFAN Flap Disc is a premium abrasive tool designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial metal fabrication. Engineered specifically for use on stainless steel (INOX), this 5-inch disc delivers exceptional stock removal rates while maintaining a consistent finish. For facility managers and procurement specialists looking for reliability and performance, the Pferd POLIFAN series represents a significant upgrade over standard grinding wheels, offering a combination of speed, safety, and longevity that reduces downtime and consumable costs.

Optimized for Stainless Steel Applications

Grinding stainless steel requires abrasives that can handle high friction without generating excessive heat, which can lead to bluing or thermal discoloration of the workpiece. The Pferd 63032 utilizes high-quality abrasive grains that cut cool and fast. This "SS Value" specification ensures that the disc remains aggressive throughout its lifespan without glazing over, making it an ideal choice for tank fabrication, food processing equipment manufacturing, and architectural metalwork where finish quality is paramount.

Type 29 Conical Design

The Type 29 conical shape of this flap disc features angled flaps that provide a greater surface contact area when the grinder is held at a standard 15 to 25-degree angle. This design is superior for aggressive stock removal and contour work compared to flat (Type 27) discs. It allows the operator to apply higher pressure for faster material removal without gouging the surface, making it highly effective for grinding down heavy weld seams and beveling edges in a production environment.

Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness

In high-volume production settings, the frequency of disc changes directly impacts labor costs. Pferd's manufacturing process ensures that the abrasive flaps wear down evenly, exposing fresh grain until the disc is fully utilized. The 60 grit rating offers a versatile middle ground, capable of removing material quickly while leaving a surface finish that is easy to blend or polish in subsequent steps. By choosing the Pferd 63032, industrial operations benefit from a tool that balances aggressive performance with the economic advantages of extended tool life.

FAQ

Type 27 discs are flat and best for blending and finishing on flat surfaces at lower angles (0-15 degrees). Type 29 discs, like this Pferd model, are conical (angled) and are better suited for aggressive stock removal and contour work at steeper angles (15-25 degrees).

Yes, while it is optimized for stainless steel (SS), it can also be used effectively on mild steel. However, using a disc made for stainless on mild steel is generally acceptable, but you should never use a disc previously used on mild steel on stainless to avoid cross-contamination and rust issues.

60 grit is a medium-coarse abrasive texture. It is an excellent all-purpose grit that offers a balance between aggressive material removal (like grinding down a weld) and leaving a relatively smooth finish that can be easily blended.

Always check the label on the actual disc for the specific safety rating. Generally, 5-inch flap discs are rated for approximately 12,200 to 13,300 RPM, but you must ensure your angle grinder does not exceed the maximum RPM marked on the product.

No, this Pferd POLIFAN flap disc comes with an integrated backing plate (usually fiberglass or plastic) and is designed to mount directly to the angle grinder using the standard flange nut or locking nut.

While it can grind aluminum, standard flap discs may load up (clog) quickly with soft metals like aluminum. For aluminum, it is recommended to use a flap disc specifically designed with a coating to prevent loading, or use a lubricant like wax.

This disc features a standard 7/8-inch arbor hole, which is the industry standard for most 4.5-inch, 5-inch, and larger angle grinders.
