Abrasive Flap Wheels on Shaft
Are you interested in abrasive flap wheels on shaft but you’re still not sure on why you’d need them? Dear client, today we’ll show you the benefits and the technical specifications of this amazing product.
All right, let’s start this episode of the Elpa News, the only blog in the world dedicated to the abrasives and to their sales methods!
What exactly are the abrasive flap wheels on shaft
The wheels on shaft are made with strips of abrasive cloth. These are placed around a resin core that ensures the solid welding to the strips.
The wheels on shaft can be used in different operations:
- Stationary or portable grinders for manual operations or on automatic machines for operations in series
- To reach small surfaces or to work in a difficult position
- Roughing
- Cleaning
- Satining
- Finishing
Features of the abrasive flap wheels on shaft
Thanks to the use of a special resin selected and designed specifically for our customers, you won’t have any welding problems. It’s so strong that it prevents the dismounting of the strips from the core of the wheels on shaft. In addition, to ensure that our abrasive flap wheels on shaft won’t create unpleasant inconveniences, they are tested with continuous baking cycles to verify the resistance of the resin and to increase its performance.
The baking process of the Wheels on Shaft in our ovens
Compatibility and technical specifications of the abrasive flap wheels on shaft
An even more important detail is the ability to integrate any type of chuck to the wheels on shaft. Grazie alla loro versatilità e alla loro struttura, il lavoro ti verrà ancor più semplice senza problemi di riscaldamento e di conseguenza senza il rischio di dover scomporre o deformare i pezzi da lavorare, soprattutto quelli di piccolo spessore.
Thanks to their versatility and their structure, work will be even easier, without heating problems and therefore without the risk of having to break down or deform the work pieces, especially those particularly thin.
Different types of abrasive cloth
Obviously there are several types of processes. For each one, you have to use a different and specific abrasive cloth. Here’s a list of the ones you can choose for abrasive flap wheels on shaft:
- Corundum: thanks to the flexible support it’s recommended for metalworking;
- Zirconium: it has a rigid support that ensures a great ablation, and it’s the ideal solution for any type of operation on stainless steel;
- Ceramic: provides a high speed for cold cutting both on alloy steel and inox. Also, this cloth has an high permormance for ablation.
- Silicon Carbide: without any doubt it’s essential to work on really hard materials, like glass, stone and marble.

Abrasive Flap Discs and Wheels produced using solar energy!
Good morning dear Client,
we have reached the fourth episode of Elpa News, the only blog in the world dedicated to the abrasives. This time, we want to talk about an investment we made that makes us very proud…you’ll understand what we’re talking about soon.
As you already know, we are a company that produces Abrasive Flap Discs and Flap Wheels, and our production setup requires a huge amount of energy.
All of this energy, apart from the cost, implies a negative impact on the environment. Elpa Abrasivi is a business, a reality in an ecosystem, which is, by the way, really beautiful. We’re talking about the Langhe in Piedmont, a territory that recently became a UNESCO heritage site.
We firmly believe in the social role and environmental ethics of a company. There are businesses that are sources of innovation and development, and, along these lines, we consider fundamental taking special care of environmental sustainability.
In 2010, we installed our photovoltaic plant on our roof, to produce electricity in a “greener” way, using the sun’s irradiance!
Did you know that we produce our Abrasive Flap Discs and Flap Wheels using renewable energy?
You can find the details of the plant listed here:
- 724 photovoltaic panels
- 3000mq of total surface area
- 180.000 kW/h provided per year
Almost all of the energy that our process demands is provided by the photovoltaic plant, we are saving the environment from pollution! In fact, EVERY YEAR:
- we avoid polluting the atmosphere with 94.000 kg of CO2
- we save 39 tonnes of oil (tep)
This is something we always wanted to introduce and that is been a reality for the past 7 years.
We care about the environment as much as we care about our clients, we strive to answer every request as fast as we can, so that you have to wait less than 8 working hours: that’s why we are the fastest.
Despite our incredible speed, we never cut corners, we take care of every detail to assure your full satisfaction! (And we really mean it, you can see the quality certificate ISO 9001:2015 that we’ve been rewarded with CLICK HERE)
We wanted to talk about our photovoltaic plant because we think that the investments of a company are a good way to understand what it really cares about.
If you agree with our point of view, why don’t you try our environmentally friendly Abrasive Flap Discs and Wheels, produced using solar energy!

Abrasive Flap Wheels 125×20 M14
Good morning dear Client,
this is the second episode of Elpa News, the first online blog dedicated to the abrasives and the ways of selling them.
Abrasive Flap Wheels 125×20 M14
The protagonist of this episode is a specific kind of Abrasive Flap Wheels.
Their name is: Abrasive Flap Wheels 125×20 M14.
Wheels: simply because they present a circular shape.
Abrasive: because the main raw material is the abrasive cloth.
Flap: because the abrasive cloth is subjected to a particular cut that transforms it into numerous slats which are radially arranged around the body of the wheel.
125×20: this two numbers identify diameter and height expressed in mm.
M14: this represents the particular threaded attachment, which differentiates itself from the traditional flanged one. The threaded attachment M14 gives several advantages to the Abrasive Flap Wheels users.
Let’s try to sum them up as it follows:
- The wheel with M14 is way faster and easier to be mounted on the tool than a flanged one. Moreover, it improves the worker’s safety in case of uncomfortable or high altitude substitution. Usually nobody underlines this, but the impact this wheel could have on both the processing time and injuries is very high. Saving time and reducing injuries will lead to a positive financial outcome. It works as with cars’ tyres: by choosing one type over another you will have different consumption with different costs!
- The M14 attachment lets the Abrasive Flap Wheels being installed on angle grinders. This tool enables you to make precision processing and finishing, which, thanks to the morphology of Abrasive Flap Wheels with 20mm wide slats, are even easier!
In Elpa Abrasivi we produce the Abrasive Flap Wheels 125×20 M14 in private label and our customers can customize the labels with their brands and information.
By default we include on our labels some icons representing good standards to be met for using the product safely. For example it is good to:
- Provide for a mask to prevent breathing dust that occur during processing
- Wear ear defenders to protect against noise, which could damage your ears
- Protect your hands with special gloves
- Wear the safety goggles to prevent splashing of the material by hitting the eyes
Respecting this standards should obviously be in the interests of the final users. Nevertheless it is fundamental for the sellers as well to know this information and they should suitably transmit it to the customers. Leveraging on these aspects when selling and recalling their economic implications surely represents a powerful commercial weapon. A weapon that often is not used because it is took for granted that people would think about the safety by themselves or even consider safety just a cost. In facts setting up safe workplaces from the beginning and informing about this topic is the right way to avoid future unexpected costs due to sanctions or, even worse, injuries.
Distributors who will be able to transmit correctly these messages to their customers will be rewarded by an increase in sales. We do our best to sensitize you on this topic and to make you take advantage of the information.
What can you actually do?
There are many precautions and sound strategies that Abrasive Flap Wheels’ distributors and sellers may adopt to sell more and better. We suggest some of them below; may you know and use some of them already, the other ones might inspire you:
- Creating content to inform on the proper use and safety of the Wheels. Possibly with photo and video content. Compared with minimized standard instructions, your efforts will be rewarded and you will stand out from your competitors. This material will be used both for retail in-store and in face-to-face talks with the most important customers.
- Providing the customer with the explanatory material to justify its purchase. Everybody needs to justify their purchases one way or another. If you act actively by giving the customer the right motivations, the possibilities of concluding the deal increase. For example do not just say that taking care of safety can avoid costs in the future, but actually representing the economic situation with customer data is of great help!
- By raising awareness amongst your customers about safety you can sell the Abrasive Flap Wheels and also upsell connected accident prevention material as masks, earmuffs, gloves and glasses. This way you will increase your profit margin and at the same time your customers will be happier with their purchase.
CONCLUSION
There is no real anthology yet about the Abrasives or else a source of information usable by all levels of the industry. Elpa News meets this need by clearly explaining the features of different products. This is also made to facilitate our distributors’ job as they can use this written information to sell Elpa Abrasivi’s products more and better.

Ventilated Abrasive Flap Discs: 5 Ways To Sell Them Immediately
Good morning Dear Client and welcome to this first date with Elpa News, the only online Blog in the world dedicated to the abrasives and the ways of selling them.
Today’s entry has a particular type of abrasive flap discs as the protagonists, which in our sector can be considered a technological innovation.
We’re talking about Ventilated Abrasive Flap Discs.

Ventilated Abrasive Flap Discs
We’re going to be honest with you though, Elpa Abrasivi isn’t the only one producing this product, but it is by far the best supplier to work with if you are a great distributor and if you want to sell them fast at the right price!
Are you asking how it’s possible? Read the following carefully because we’re going to see what are some sales tools usable with your clients which will help you sell more, at a better price and in less time your Ventilated Abrasive Flap Discs.
Since it’s the first entry it’s necessary to explain how the analysis will be done: we’ll start from the tech specs of the products to take advantage of the right sales tool…. That is the most important information to pass to the final consumer, the one that will lead to the purchase!
Let’s begin with the 5 Ways To Sell Them Immediately Ventilated Abrasive Flap Discs:
- In the datasheets there are rightly shown the main characteristics of the ventilated abrasive flap discs, meaning the presence of the nylon support of the external fins and holes that allow the air circulation of the air, allowing for the metal cooling and avoiding pitting, erosion, or alveolar corrosion. This information does not help you sell it! The final consumer often is not an expert and cannot imagine alone the type of advantages that would lead to this product without a seller or some marketing material. The final utilizer of the Ventilated Abrasive Flap Discs wants to know that he will avoid problems in the future. If the metal were to be damaged by high temperatures it would have to be discarded, causing economic costs for the company. That’s why Ventilated Abrasive Flap Discs is better than a standard without that does not cool. This explanation also resolves the objection that Ventilated Abrasive Flap Discs cost more. The price difference is preferable compared to discard an entire group of products, other than the order of standard discs that you cannot use anymore.
- The possibility of cooling of the Ventilated Discs produces positive effects also on the abrasive cloths, lowering the degree of utilization, especially regarding the resin glued to the grains. That alone is technical information that is not very useful. The final client needs to know that a lower temperature during the processing can improve the duration of the disc. The longer the duration, the lower the costs. The client needs to know how much he saves with a more technological product: showing him numerical examples with the data given to him is even more effective and the sale will be closer!
- Another valuable tech spec of the Ventilated Discs is that they have a threaded attachment similar to the M14 type. You, the reader, probably know what we are talking about, but your client probably does not! Your client wants to know that the system to attach the Ventilated Abrasive Flap Discs to the grinder is east and fast, and will therefore speed up his jobs and will cause him less stress. You can give him a demonstration if you have a store, or create a video if you sell online and share it! And also. This tech spec of the M14 thread can seem like a banality to us and often it is not even communicated to the final consumer or at least he doesn’t give it importance. But what does the worker who works on the platform think when he works at the height of the platform or on uncomfortable piers? To him the threaded flap disc is FUNDAMENTAL. The standard attachments allow for long and difficult operations of disassembly and closure of the flanges, which can also be DANGEROUS! With the M14 thread a new Ventilated Abrasive Flap Disc is installed on the grinder in a few seconds and while being safe!
- The particular asset off this type of Disc allows for the installation of around 25% more of the abrasive cloth compared to a cheaper standard product. But is the final consumer aware of the fact that thanks to what he has just bought, he will have to disassemble and reassemble the grinder fewer times? Probably not, we have to inform him! Thanks to this, moreover, his costs will decrease.
- And finally. The inclination of the abrasive flaps obtained from a higher density per disc allows the abrasive cloth for a quicker restart, avoiding problems. It will seem like you’re working with a new abrasive disc even after having used it for some time. Thanks to this the client won’t have to interrupt the processing and will obtain a more precise result even if they have less experience.

You can already try to apply these techniques and you’ll see that the economic results of your distribution will have many advantages! Optimize your online retail sales system to illustrate the Ventilated Abrasive Flap Discs as explained in the 5 points above. Or if you sell offline, be sure that the sellers are aware of these techniques and especially that they use them with every client they need.
REMEMBER: the technical information is utilized by your client to compare them with the competition to get the lowest price. The usable information, however, gives value to the client that in this way will perceive you as an ally and will buy at your conditions.
The way we work, the way Elpa Abrasivi work, is this: a sincere and concrete help to their business partners.
