RECOMMENDED WORKING SPEED
Working speed
When selecting the working speed for non-woven material products, it is important to consider two different criteria:
The following recommended peripheral speeds have been established in numerous tests. These tests have clearly indicated that the functional speed for our products is lower than the stated maximum speed. Subsequently, the stated maximum operating speed should not be exceeded— not even for test purposes.
The best setting for an optimum functional speed is often only determined after briefly testing the chosen tool on the relevant work piece, particularly if it is important to improve the visual appearance of the work piece.
Advice:
1) The lower the working speed, the longer the life-span of the tool.
2) The higher the working speed, the greater the grinding effect, the shorter the life-span of the tool.
When selecting the working speed for non-woven material products, it is important to consider two different criteria:
- The maximum speed provides a sufficient degree of safety, and stays within the physical limitations of the relevant tool construction.
- The functional speed corresponds with the working speed to achieve the required results.

Conveyor Speed
The feed rate, expressed in meters per minute (m/min), determines the speed at which the work piece is conveyed past the tool. The “process time”, during which the work piece is in contact with the tool, is dependent on the feed rate. The longer the process time, the greater the grinding effect.
Direction of the Feed
The work piece can be conveyed in the direction of rotation or vice versa. If the tool moves in the opposite direction to the work piece, the relative process time is longer; therefore, the grinding effect on the material is greater. If the line pattern is shorter, a greater cutting depth is effected. If the tool moves with the direction of the work piece, the process time is shorter; hence, a regular finish is created with a longer line pattern.
Applied Pressure
The grinding effect is altered by the application of different pressures:
Cutting speed as a function of rotational speed (rpm) and diameter:
General formula: [AD-Ø (mm) x 3,1416 x U/min] / 60.000 = m/sek

- Longer process time
- Better cutting performance
- Faster machining

Press Plate Cleaning
The cleaning and removal of residues from press plates has a direct effect on the quality. Our Goals Are To:
A standard brush is made for finish No. 6 (0.6-1.0 UM RZ).
Falconbrite Press Plate Cleaning Brush Advantages:
The cleaning and removal of residues from press plates has a direct effect on the quality. Our Goals Are To:
- Remove all residues
- Produce press plates with a surface roughness and surface topography in accordance with the customer’s requirements.
A standard brush is made for finish No. 6 (0.6-1.0 UM RZ).
- Epoxy residues are generally very hard and brittle.
- Phenolic residues are softer, and harder to remove.
- Our products work on both applications.
