02 Walter International Newsletter-November 2015
With the emergence of aqueous (water-based) technology, there’s a cost-effective, environmentally friendly option for cleaning and degreasing metal parts and components. Green solutions — such as Bio-Circle cleaning products — protect the environment, improve workplace safety and reduce industrial waste and operating costs. Learn how aqueous cleaning agents work, and why switching to these methods can help contribute to a safer, more sustainable and more profitable workplace. Launched at last week’s FABTECH and available as of January 2016, the Instant Polish Line will come in three distinct formats: pre-applied on the Quick Step Instant Polish Disc and the Instant Polish Belt, and will also be available in a stand-alone paste. Step 1: Bucket Program Step 2: Safety Seminars Step 3: Productivity Reports Should you have any additional questions concerning our programs, please consult your local Walter representative. Tested on some of the world’s hardest resources – including tungsten carbide, quenched and tempered steel, XCAVATOR’s extra aggressive, coarse front layer of enriched Zirconium grain has gone through rigorous testing to help deliver the industry’s highest removal rates. A powerful wheel for powerful industry environments, XCAVATOR helps ensure optimal power transfer – from operator to working surface – for the toughest jobs. NOVEMBER 2015
How green alternatives are driving safety and profitability in MRO and production processes
For more than a century, maintenance and repair operations as well as industrial production processes have used toxic solvents to clean contaminants from metal parts. However, in recent years solvents have come under increased scrutiny for their health and environmental risks — and as more companies have come to understand the benefits of safe and sustainable operating practices — solvent users have been seeking greener alternatives.New innovations in stainless steel polishing
Achieving a #8 mirror finish can be one of the most time-consuming and difficult applications in the fabrication process. Walter Surface Technologies has incorporated decades of knowledge and expertise into developing a line of innovative stainless steel polishing products that reduces labor time, operational costs, and delivers exceptional #8 mirror finish results.The three-step Partnership in Productivity program.
At Walter Surface Technologies, we understand the importance of working safely and efficiently. That's why we have developed a three-step, value-added program designed to help you work better.
A simple process where used and discarded abrasives are collected and analysed. This helps in optimizing workflow and cost savings.
Seminars are offered to encourage a safer work environment and include operator training.
Accompanying every Bucket Program analysis is a detailed productivity report comparing Walter products to competitive products in terms of yearly usage, material removal, labour time and cost, product life and product cost.Watch the XCAVATOR in action!
