Ellesco Announce Open House Dates For Surface Finishing Masterclass

4 August 2016

As the summer already draws to a close, surface finishing and deburring experts Ellesco will be looking to put a shine into the first month of Autumn with the announcement of its Open House Event from the 20th to 22nd of September. If you have components that require deburring or surface finishing, Ellesco is inviting you to bring along your problem parts to trial on the Grindingmaster Timesaver machines.

The event at the Ellesco facility in Christchurch will be a great opportunity to see four of the latest machines from Timesavers whilst an abrasives expert from Hermes Coated Abrasives will be on hand to discuss the technical elements and benefits of its range of abrasive belts, brushes and consumables. For customers making a concerted effort to visit the scenic New Forest area on the South Coast and also get an education in first class surface finishing, Ellesco will be hosting entertainment evenings for customers.

The four Timesavers machines at the event will include the Timesavers 10 Series 1300MGVT, the 12 Series 600WB, the 22 Series 900W and the extremely popular 42 Series WRB machine. Alongside the new products, Ellesco will have a complete range of cost-effective used and refurbished surface finishing machines available for immediate delivery.

The smallest machine at the event will be the Timesavers 10 Series 1300MGVT manual grinder. The cost-effective 10 Series has a grinding wheel and a flap brush that can be tilted 180 degrees on the head. The tilting head and weight-bearing arm enhance the operator experience with easy aggregates changeovers and a support mechanism for generating uniform surface finishes. As an entry level machine, there is nothing more competitive, capable or cost-effective than the 10 Series.

Stepping up from the 10 Series is the 12 Series WB machine. This 'belt and brush' machine will be demonstrated at the event in its 600mm wide format. Ideal for working up to a component thickness of 125mm with a 600mm width, the 12 Series can feed parts at a rate from 3 to 9m/min for consistent and speedy surface finishing. With a powerful 9kW motor and a total weight of 650kg, this powerful yet flexible surface finishing station ideally fits into any production environment or machine shop.

For more robust applications, Ellesco will be showing the capability of the proven 22 Series 900W machine. For wider parts up to 900mm, this single head deburring machine for the deburring and finishing of sheet metal parts offers a vast selection of heads and widths to accommodate most sheet metal finishing tasks. Renowned for being one of the most flexible machines in the Timesavers stable, the 900W can be applied to a remarkably diverse application range.

The focal point of most Open House events and exhibitions is the ever popular Timesavers 42 Series. At the September event, Ellesco will be putting the 1350WRB variant through its paces on customer parts. With a wide abrasive belt for the pre-grinding removal of heavy burrs from parts and a follow-up multi-directional brush that uniformly deburrs and finishes edges of laser cut, punched and machined parts in a single pass; its no surprise the 42 Series WRB is one of Ellesco's best selling machines. So, if you want to grab a beer, a bite to eat and find out how you can solve your surface finishing and deburring dilemmas at the same time, come to our Open House event or drop us a line for more details.
