Cost Reduction in Shipbuilding Through Fan-Shaped Grinding Wheels
In metal construction—and particularly in shipbuilding—grinding processes account for a significant portion of the daily workday.
This calls for highly specialized industry solutions that offer high material removal rates, long tool life, and consequently short setup times. If the tools used also reduce the effort required by the operator, so much the better.
A ship must not rust
But rust forms on sharp edges, where the protective coating is worn away first. For this simple reason, up to 8,000 working hours or more are allocated for sanding work on a ship. The potential for cost savings through the use of process-optimized grinding tools is therefore enormous.
At RHODIUS, we see ourselves as your partner in this endeavor. Our goal: to offer the best—and most efficient—grinding tools for your shipyard. The process should begin with a detailed needs assessment and extensive testing. We then calculate the most cost-effective product for you or begin developing a new, customized solution.
Perfect results in shipbuilding
Grinding and cleaning welding seams
The grinding tools required here are also used at the shipyard for the preliminary preparation of welded parts.
Removing old paint or rust
Cup brushes are a good choice for removing paint and paint residue. Simply scrape lightly across the surface.
Dressing cut-off transport lugs
This can only be done by hand using an angle grinder. A cup wheel ensures the cleanest and flattest possible surface.
