HERE TO HELP
A customer producing solid oak wood flooring and using wide belts from our competitors were experiencing random marks in the wood
after limited sanding. After several attempts from the current supplier to resolve the issue they decided to call in the wide belt machine
repair company who immediately got in contact with Mirka to assist. The marks were caused by hard spots of silicon embedded in random
parts of the oak, caused by an unnatural occurrence in the Parenchyma Cells within the oak tree during growth. These hard spots when
sanded with standard Aluminium oxide belts cause damage to the belt which then transfers to the oak panel each time the belt passes
over it. To resolve the issue, we supplied a close coated Silicon carbide grain belt, which is much harder and capable of sanding through
the hard spots without damaging the belt.
