Surface finishing

Slab, billet and plate grinding

We grind slabs, billets, steel blocks, semi-finished products, steel plates and heavy plates for further industrial processing. We select stone or belt grinding to suit the material and required result.

Rough grinding

Stone grinding allows us to repair surfaces selectively or across larger areas. We can also grind products to a required thickness and machine edges.

02

Fine grinding

Our belt grinding systems work in the tenths-of-a-millimetre range. On request, we produce fine surfaces with defined roughness values such as Ra, Rg or Rz.

03

Dimensions

  • Thickness: 4–600 mm
  • Width: up to 3,000 mm
  • Length: up to 25,000 mm
  • Weight: up to 32 t, in special cases up to 50 t
  • Material removal per pass: up to 0.3 mm with belt grinding, up to 3.0 mm with stone grinding
04

Slab grinding

We grind slabs for further industrial processing. Depending on their initial condition, we process individual surface defects or larger areas and grind the material to the required thickness. Steel grade, dimensions and required material removal determine the grinding scope.

Billet grinding

We prepare billets for further processing by grinding. Cross-section, length, surface condition and required material removal determine whether individual areas or larger surfaces need processing.

Round steel block grinding

We process the surfaces of round steel blocks. Please provide diameter, length, material grade and initial condition. Together, we agree which areas need grinding and the result required for further processing.

Semi-finished steel grinding

Material grade, initial condition and the next production step determine the requirements. To assess your enquiry, we need the cross-section, length, quantity and required material removal.

Steel plate and heavy plate grinding

Steel plate and heavy plate grinding can focus on thickness or surface finish. Please specify the initial and target thickness and any required roughness values and tolerances.
