Grinding of metallic surfaces

Grinding metallic surfaces with a wide variety of grinding tools such as contact wheels with different running surfaces and abrasive belts – so-called “belt grinding” – was already known in the USA before the Second World War, but was only introduced in Europe in the early 1950s.

Pioneering work was carried out by Fritz-Gerhard Kemper – the founder and long-standing managing partner of today’s company KEMPER-KONTAKT Gert Kemper GmbH, Wuppertal, as the manufacturer of the contact wheels – and senior engineer Otto Schleppi from the company GREIF in Hagen. In later years, the Ludwig Löser company in Speyer took over the role of leading manufacturer of belt sanders.

Non-woven abrasive tools are used for grinding stainless steel, especially for creating elegant, satin-finished surfaces. In many cases, this is also referred to as Brushing stainless steel.

All grinding tools mentioned here – contact wheels for the belt grinding process, flap wheels, non-woven abrasive tools, the ORIGINAL KEMPER GRINDING STUD® are manufactured to the highest consistent quality by KEMPER-KONTAKT Gert Kemper GmbH and sold worldwide.
