The story of Valk Welding

Your future in welding

Valk Mailing

Wire & Cable

We’re leading the way in wire and cable finishing with our unique in-line Profelis wet blasting machine:

Wet blasting (also known as vapor blasting, vapour blasting or aqua blasting) is highly effective at cleaning and finishing a wide range of wire and cable products. Applications are numerous ranging from cleaning feeder wire prior to extrusion and the removal of graphite and heat scale to the application of a non-specular finish on overhead power cable.

Surgical instruments

Finishing medical instruments by wet blasting for exceptional quality and regulatory compliance

Medical instruments play a crucial role in the field of healthcare and medicine. They are essential tools used by healthcare professionals to diagnose, treat, monitor, and manage various medical conditions.

Surface finishing in medical instrument manufacturing plays a crucial role for several reasons:
Ease of cleaning and sterilisation: Surfaces manufactured to the correct range of Ra surface roughness are easier to sterilise, reducing the chances of bacterial growth or contamination. This is vital for maintaining hygiene and preventing infections during medical procedures.

Corrosion resistance: Medical instruments often encounter bodily fluids and sterilisation processes. Proper surface finishing can enhance corrosion resistance, ensuring the instrument's longevity and reliability.

Precision and functionality: Surface finishing impacts the precision and functionality of medical instruments. For example, a smoother surface on surgical tools reduces friction, allowing for more precise movements during surgeries.

Aesthetics and perception: The appearance of medical instruments matters, not just for professional reasons but also for patient confidence. Well-finished instruments convey quality and reliability, impacting patient perception and trust in medical procedures.

Reduced wear and tear: Proper surface finishing can minimise wear and tear, ensuring that the instruments maintain their functionality over time. This is particularly important for instruments used repeatedly in surgeries or medical procedures.

Minimisation of contamination: Finishing processes can create surfaces that are less prone to trapping contaminants, minimising the risk of particles breaking off and causing issues during medical procedures.

Medical Implants

Helping to manufacture strong, safe and biocompatible medical implants

Strong and clean medical implants are essential for their functionality, longevity, patient safety, and to minimise complications or risks associated with implantation. They play a critical role in successful medical procedures and the overall well-being of the patients who receive them.

Manufacturers of patient-safe implants will need to meet the most rigorous standards of excellence, taking the following into account…
Biocompatibility: Implants must be biocompatible to minimise the risk of adverse reactions or rejection by the body. A clean surface reduces the chances of bacterial adhesion and infection. Strong materials that are inert or compatible with body tissues help ensure the implant integrates well without causing harm or triggering immune responses.

Durability and longevity: Strong implants are designed to withstand the physiological stresses within the body, ensuring they remain functional and stable over time. Cleanliness and proper surface preparation contribute to the longevity of the implant by preventing corrosion, degradation, or material breakdown that could compromise its structural integrity.

Functional performance: Clean surfaces and strong materials are essential for the proper functioning of medical implants. Whether it is a joint replacement, a dental implant, or a cardiac device, the implant must function as intended without compromising the patient's health or causing discomfort.

Reduced risks: A strong, clean implant minimises the risk of complications such as infections, implant failure, or the need for additional surgeries due to early implant deterioration or malfunction. This promotes patient safety and reduces healthcare costs associated with corrective procedures.

Facilitates procedures: During surgical placement, clean and strong implants are easier for surgeons to handle and position correctly. Properly prepared surfaces and robust materials aid in the implantation process, making it smoother and reducing potential errors.

Tissue integration: Clean implants with appropriate surface properties allow for better integration with surrounding tissues. This is crucial for implants like bone screws or plates where osseointegration (bone integration) is necessary for stability and functionality.

Maintenance of standards: Medical implants must meet stringent regulatory and quality standards to ensure patient safety. Strong, clean implants that adhere to these standards are more likely to pass rigorous testing and approval processes.

Composites Wet Blasting

The best preparation for composite bonding, lacquering, or painting:
The growing use of composites
With a high strength-to-weight ratio, composites like carbon fibre are used in industries where strength and light weight are vital for superior performance.
Modern aircraft propeller blades, prosthetic limbs, and formula one cars are typical of the items that need the high strength and low weight advantage that composites offer.

The importance of surface preparation
And because composites are typically used in high performance applications bond strength is critical, which is why preparation for composite bonding is so important.
On removal from an autoclave, carbon fibre is typically left with a waxy residue on its surface that has hydrophobic properties, this causes liquids to ‘bead’ up on the surface.
For best painting, composite bonding, lacquering or other coating adhesion results the waxy residue has to be removed and a hydrophilic surface created where liquids do not bead up on the surface and instead the water ‘sticks’ to the surface, also known as a ‘wet-out’ surface.

Preventing fibre damage
It is also important that the polyacrylonitrile and rayon or petroleum pitch fibres that create carbon fibre are not damaged when the waxy residue is removed as the integrity of the component might be jeopardised.

Wet blasting, or vapor blasting to give the process it’s alternative name, quickly and efficiently removes the waxy residue whilst the cushioning effect of water prevents any damage to fibres. The component’s fibres are protected thanks to the water buffering of the abrasive particles. We would typically recommend an aluminium oxide abrasive media for best results.
Dry blasting, brush finishing, peel ply, sandpaper and other types of finishing can result in damage to fibres, that in turn compromises the integrity of the part. Another consideration here is operator error, there’s a danger of increased fibre damage if the operator dry / brush finishes for too long or uses wet / dry abrasive paper too aggressively – an issue that cannot happen with wet blasting.

Cutting Tool Inserts

The global gold standard for cutting tool insert finishing
Cutting tool inserts are used in a wide range of machining and metalworking applications to perform numerous cutting, shaping, and finishing operations. They are used in a broad range of industries, including aerospace and defense, medical device and automotive manufacturing, composite material machining and you can even find cutting tool inserts on Mars! Inserts finished in a Vapormatt Tiger wet blasting machine are fitted to the drill on the Mars Rover.

The quality of cutting tool inserts is of paramount importance in the field of machining and metalworking. For the many reasons listed below, the performance, efficiency, and safety of machining operations heavily depend on the quality of the inserts being used.

Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing (AM) is transforming industries across the globe: from aerospace and defence to automotive and medical. With so many production benefits, it’s no wonder AM’s set to grow by well over 20% per year for the foreseeable future.

Wet blasting (or vapor blasting) is the ideal finishing process for AM thanks to its ability to perfectly finish parts whilst cleaning the complex channels that are often a feature of AM components

CIRCULAR VIBRATORY DRIERS – MODEL RANGE G

APPLICATIONS
After completion of the mass finishing process the finished parts are generally wet. Circular vibratory driers of the model range G are utilized for drying the finished parts. After the parts have been transferred into the G drier they pass through a heated medium that can consist of ground corn cobs (so-called maizorb), crushed walnut shells or small wood chips. The Trowal G driers are ideal for drying a wide assortment of different mass produced parts with the added benefit of the drying medium producing not only a dry but also a clean surface without any residual water spots.

TUB VIBRATORS – MODEL RANGE TFM

APPLICATIONS
Tub vibrators with their rectangular work bowl are ideal for finishing mid size to large parts, even, depending on the size of the work bowl, very large parts. Normally, the parts are placed into the work bowl loose where they are freely rotating within the processing media.
DELICATE PARTS
Parts which cannot touch each other during the process because of the risk of part impingement are either clamped with special work piece fixtures, or they are placed individually in separate processing chambers in the work bowl created by special dividers.
ALL-PURPOSE MACHINES
Tub vibrators are “all-round” mass finishing machines that are used for a broad range of applications:
• General deburring
• Heavy duty radiusing (edge breaking)
• Surface smoothing
• Polishing
• De-greasing
• Surface cleaning
• Pickling, descaling, de-rusting

ROTARY VIBRATOR CF

COST EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT
Trowal rotary vibrators are truly universal mass finishing machines that can be used for a wide variety of work pieces and finishing objectives. Their applications range from aggressive deburring and edge radiusing all the way to high gloss polishing of delicate work pieces, i.e. from intensive cutdown to generating perfect pre-plate surface finishes.
The competitively priced rotary vibrators of the model range CF offer the user high operational efficiency combined with maximum cost effectiveness. Customers can choose from seven (7) different models with work bowl volumes ranging from 100 to 1,200 litres. Equipped with an internal pneumatic separation device, the CF vibrators are easy to operate ensuring a smooth and safe finishing
process. The vibratory motor is equipped with two (2) rotary speeds. This guarantees an optimum finishing process and efficient separation of the finished work pieces from the media.

CIRCULAR VIBRATORS – MODEL RANGE CD

STURDY AND COST-EFFICIENT DESIGN!
Trowal circular vibrators are universal finishing machines which can be utilized for treating a wide range of different parts. The CD machines are employed for aggressive deburring and radiusing (edge breaking) as well as for high gloss polishing of delicate work pieces, i.e. their applications range from aggressive cut down all the way to generating pre-plate surface finishes.
All Trowal circular vibrators can be utilized as cost efficient “stand-alone” units. However, they can be easily automated allowing their integration into interlinked, fully automatic manufacturing systems. The CD circular vibrators are equipped with an internal separation system consisting of a manual or pneumatic separation flap and an easy-to-exchange built-in separation screen. Main characteristics of the Trowal CD vibrators are their robust, sturdy design and their competitive pricing.
Customers can choose from 7 different models with work bowl volumes ranging from 110 litres up to 1,200 litres.

TT…-A/2C Centrifugal Disk Finishing Systems

TWO-BATCH PRINCIPLE FOR COST-EFFECTIVE MASS FINISHING
Compared to vibratory surface finishing equipment, the Trowal Turbotron centrifugal disk finishing
systems offer a more than 10 times higher grinding performance. Turbotron machines are mainly
used for removal of heavy burrs and edge breaking/radiusing of small to midsize mass produced parts.
However, their applications also include fine grinding, surface smoothing, polishing and even “high
gloss” polishing.
The centrifugal force of the rotating spinner (60 – 250 RPM) accelerates the media/work piece mass
and pushes it up the inner wall of the stationary work bowl. With the diminishing kinetic energy
gravity forces the media and parts to slide back onto the rotating spinner where the centrifugal force
accelerates them again.
While the system separates a first batch of finished parts from the media on an external separation
unit, a second batch of raw parts is processed in the work bowl. The parallel execution of the
finishing and separation function minimizes costly idle equipment times, especially during the
separation process. Double batch systems are ideally suited for automated finishing processes.

AVIATION

ENGINE PARTS
Turbine components like fan blades, compressor blades, blisks, turbine disks, engine casings, etc., require a perfect surface fi nish with low Ra readings. These are achieved by processing the parts in top of the line rotary vibrators equipped with the “gate clearing” feature for gentle and 100% unloading of the parts from the finishing machine. For somewhat more intensive finishing processes high performance Turbotron centrifugal disk finishing machines are utilized. And, the eco- friendly Trowapast finishing process produces surface finishes with Ra readings of <= 0.2μm. STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS Trowal tub vibrators allow the efficient, cost effective finishing of the surface of large structural components used in wings, fuselages and landing gears with lengths of up to 6,000 mm (20 ft) and a maximum width of 1,300 mm (4.3 ft). The proven “multi vib” vibratory drive system guarantees an even, intensive movement of the media mass over the complete length of the vibratory tub producing an absolutely homogeneous fi nish on the parts surface. OTHER COMPONENTS Our latest technical development, the Multi Vibrator MV, allows the intensive finishing of the inner and outer surface of hydraulic housings. This versatile vibratory system is also ideally suited for processing delicate components which must not touch each other during the vibratory finishing process. Of course, Trowal also offers economic solutions for deburring mass produced bulk parts like screws, rivets, etc. And, of course, such bulk parts can be efficiently coated in our “Rotamat” coating systems for corrosion protection, visual differentiation and the dissipation of static electricity.

PROCESS WATER CLEANING TECHNOLOGY

MASS FINISHING NEEDS PROCESS WATER
Water and cleaning compounds are two indispensable ingredients for nearly all “TROWALIZING” processes. Media and metal fines as well as oil and grease from the surface of the treated work pieces are accumulating in the process water. For this reason, the process water must be cleaned. Whenever the process water goes to drain, the legal standards for the cleaning process (e.g. flocculation) are quite stringent. For recycling of the process water the cleaning requirements are not quite as strict.
The multiple use of the process water by recycling it, offers many advantages: The fresh water and compound consumption can be reduced by as much as 98%, respectively, 90%. And since no water goes to drain, the user does not need any approvals by the water authorities. In addition, the sludge disposal costs can be reduced, because the sludge coming from centrifuges contains about 50% less water than the sludge from flocculation systems. For certain mass finishing applications process water recycling is not possible, for example, for:
• Pickling with different types of acids
• Multi stage processes with multiple finishing compounds
• Applications with very strict cleanliness requirements for the surface of the finished work pieces.
In such cases the wastewater must be flocculated and discharged to drain.

MEDIA AND COMPOUNDS

MEDIA AND COMPOUNDS – ALL MADE IN-HOUSE
In addition to its surface finishing equipment Walther Trowal also produces a wide range of grinding & polishing media and compounds at plants in Haan (Germany) and at Walther Trowal Ltd. in Stoke-on-Trent (UK). All our products are subject to strict quality controls, and our mass finishing consumables division is certified to DIN ISO 9001:2008.

Mobile Boom

The principle of the boom arm is to bring the torch close to the pipe you want to weld. The boom arm can be extended, set in angles and lifted up and down.
Mobile Boom Setup All handling is easily done manually and no tools are required. This is also very practical when moving the Mobile Boom to a new location or new welding job. It doesn’t even have to be very accurate, when you position the Mobile Boom and the boom arm and it is easy and quickly done within seconds. A complete set-up of the Mobile Boom if everything is disconnected and the Mobile Boom moved to a corner is app. 5 minutes only. This is also why the Mobile Boom is ideal for production variations and small series production. To fine-tune the position of the torch before welding, you have two manual tilt functions and and two motorized axes for sideways and up-down, via the remote control. And even during welding the Wi-Fi remote control of
