Heavy Duty Pedestal Grinder

Robust industrial pedestal grinder for rough grinding, de-burring, and fettling in maintenance workshops and foundries.

Robust industrial pedestal grinder for rough grinding, de-burring, fettling in maintenance and foundries

Typical Applications

  • Rough grinding and edge finishing operations in fabrication shops.

  • Fettling of small and medium foundry components where swing-frame grinders are impractical.

  • Tool sharpening and reconditioning in steel and cement plant maintenance workshops.

  • General utility grinding for deburring, chamfering, and edge preparation in shipyards, railway workshops, and defence plants.

  • These machines are typically deployed as shop-floor utility grinders, operating continuously under rough conditions.

Machine Description
  • • Machine body and base manufactured from high-grade grey cast iron (IS:210), providing inherent vibration damping during aggressive grinding.
  • • Power transmission from motor to spindle through fully enclosed V-belt drive, protecting the drive system from dust, scale, and debris.
  • • Case-hardened and ground high-tensile steel spindle, maintaining run-out accuracy within 5 microns for stable wheel behaviour.
  • • Heavy machine mass allows consistent grinding pressure without wheel bounce or excessive vibration.
  • • Supplied with Aluminium Oxide (vitrified) grinding wheels as standard, suitable for general steel grinding and tool sharpening.
  • • These grinders are selected for robust construction, operational stability, and safe performance under continuous industrial use, not for precision grinding work.

Configuration Notes

  • Heavy duty pedestal grinders are engineered for sustained grinding loads, where mass, rigidity, and spindle stability matter more than surface finish.
  • Resinoid grinding wheels can be supplied for heavy stock-removal or snagging applications.
  • Use of resinoid wheels requires higher motor rating and must be specified at the time of ordering.
  • Wheel type, motor power, and dust or coolant arrangement should be selected based on grinding intensity and duty cycle.

Accessories
