GRINDAIX NOZZLES GRINDAIX NOZZLES
GRINDAIX NOZZLES CORNER FLUSHER

FLUSHING This corner flusher prevents deposits in the machine bed by means of several

high-pressure lubricoolant nozzles. The lower part of the corner flusher is
designed in such a way that it rotates with the aid of the high-pressure nozzles.
In this way, the corner flusher has a very large range. The corner flusher has
a diameter of approx. 60 mm. All flushing nozzles can be mounted in the
machine via the modular articulated metal tube system, gFlex.

ADVANTAGES
During operation of a machine tool, chip residues collect in the machine bed. These often need to be
removed laboriously by hand, as in the worst case these deposits can even lead to machine failure.

well as on measuring probes, covers and steady rests.

However, completely unsuitable solutions are often used for machine bed flushing, such as clamped
pipe ends which are adjusted via a plastic ball valve. The correct orientation of the lubricoolant exits
likewise has a decisive effect, as the wrong positioning and dimensioning mean that not all areas are
flushed reliably. Overall this leads to unnecessarily high lubricoolant consumption with inadequate
cleaning performance in most cases. High costs for an unreliable flushing process are the result, as
every litre of lubricoolant which is consumed must be cooled and cleaned, and this costs you money LUBRICOOLANT IN LUBRICOOLANT OUT

Our experienced nozzle specialists have developed Grindaix nozzles to design the flushing of your
machine tool both efficiently and effectively.
MACHINE BED
Flushing nozzles from Grindaix are characterized by their outstanding cleaning performance and
minimum lubricoolant consumption. We can optimise your machine bed flushing by means of chan- CHANNEL FLUSHER /
nel flushers designed as a slotted nozzle, or by means of a rotating corner flusher. Our nozzle solu-
tions for flushing applications are, of course, customised to your particular application. We supply SLOTTED NOZZLE
flushing nozzles in all required widths.

Grindaix nozzles are robust and durable, as they are made exclusively from high-quality, wear- The Grindaix slotted nozzles are excellent for designing the lubri-
resistant materials. To exploit the full savings potential of our Grindaix flushing nozzles, we recom- coolant flow in machine beds. An optimum lubricoolant flow prevents

The lubricoolant requirement per slotted nozzle is low. For example,

important to operate the bed flushing nozzles during part changes if
possible. All flushing nozzles can be mounted in the machine via the
