September 5, 2019 - Weldcote, a division of Zika Group, offers its line of ALU-PRIME premium flap discs for applications on aluminum, other nonferrous metals and blending stainless steel.

Offering a high value-to-price performance, Weldcote’s ALU-PRIME flap disc design allows the discs to work longer and more effectively before needing to be changed out. A second-tier calcium stearate reduces material buildup between grains, helping to prevent the aluminum from loading. The flap discs also allow the end user to keep the work material cooler.

Weldcote’s ALU-PRIME premium flap discs are manufactured of high-quality aluminum grain available with grits of 36 and 60 and feature a tough, heat-treated, polyester backing. The ALU-PRIME flap discs are offered in 4 1/2 in., 5 in. and 7 in. sizes, in a compressed profile design that was developed to increase product life and reduce inventory costs for end users.

“Our proprietary flap disc design, combined with our innovative manufacturing equipment, gives our ALU-PRIME flap disc longer life at a great value,” said Joe O’Mera, CEO of Weldcote. “It’s constructed with calcium stearate to reduce material buildup and delay material loading."

February 21, 2019 - Weldcote Metals, Kings Mountain, North Carolina, a division of Zika Group, introduced its line of C-PRIME and C-PRIME PLUS ceramic flap discs.

Weldcote’s C-PRIME flap discs feature strong polyester backing for aggressive grinding applications that do not require excessive flexibility. The C-PRIME PLUS flap discs feature an industry-first, poly-cotton backing with high-quality ceramic grain, which provides excellent stretch and flexibility, while adding enough strength to maximize the aggressive cutting points of ceramic grain.

The ceramic grains in Weldcote’s line of flap discs contain a grinding aid for cooler running temperatures, which reduces the risk of discoloration and heat-induced deformations of the final workpiece. These ceramic grains are also self-sharpening, which allow them to be used for longer periods of time than similar flap discs on the market. The C-PRIME flap discs are available in 4 1/2 in. and 7 in. sizes, and the C-PRIME PLUS flap discs are available in 4 1/2 in., 5 in. and 6 in. sizes.

“The C-PRIME PLUS flap discs feature a proprietary compressed design that gives the user a tough edge, increased performance and 50 to 60 percent higher stock removal rates over standard ceramic flap discs,” said Joe O’Mera, CEO of Weldcote. “These increased removal rates can provide significant savings and increased productivity for our customers in the field.”
