Product Overview
Airway/ventilated non woven buffs are used for sanding and slightly distributing regular surface automata. They are made from nylon cloth and various types of sand. Outer diameters range from 150 mm to 500 mm (6 inches to 22 inches). Inner diameters for iron teeth range from 55 mm to 230 mm, and paper cores can also be used. These buffs are produced using the CRA-800 forming machine, CRA-600 pressing machine, and CRA-700 trim/edge cutting machine in sequence.
Key Benefits
- Produces ventilated non woven buffs with consistent ply spacing and structure
- Supports outer diameters from 150 mm to 500 mm, suitable for medium to large polishing applications
- Compatible with iron claw centres (55 mm to 230 mm) and paper cores
- Reduces manual labor in buff formation by using the CRA-800 forming machine
- Enables repeatable production of non woven buffs with stable performance across shifts
- Integrates directly into existing CRA-800, CRA-600, CRA-700 production lines
Application Scenarios
- A polishing workshop producing non woven buffs in-house for consistent quality and faster turnaround
- A buff manufacturer expanding into ventilated non woven buffs for sanding and surface distribution tasks
- A factory replacing manual buff assembly with a mechanized line using CRA-800, CRA-600, and CRA-700 machines
- A supplier needing to produce custom-sized non woven buffs with paper core or iron claw centres
Who It Is For
- Buffing and polishing wheel manufacturers
- Metal finishing shops using non woven buffs for sanding and surface treatment
- Workshops producing consumable buffs for industrial or automotive surface work
- Distributors of polishing supplies seeking to manufacture their own ventilated non woven buffs
Problems It Solves
- Manual assembly of non woven buffs leads to inconsistent ply spacing and variable performance
- Lack of standardization in buff structure causes uneven wear and finish quality drift
- Reliance on imported non woven buffs increases lead time and freight cost
- Inability to scale production without adding multiple hand workers per shift
- Difficulty in switching between iron claw and paper core centres without retooling
Technical Features
- Uses the CRA-800 bias airway buffs forming machine for consistent folding and indexing
- Forms non woven buffs with ventilated structure using nylon cloth and sand layers
- Supports iron claw centres with inner diameters from 55 mm to 230 mm
- Accepts paper cores as an alternative to iron claws for the wheel centre
- Trims the formed body using the CRA-700 edge cutting machine for clean running face
- Pressing on the CRA-600 machine ensures uniform density and structural integrity

Materials
- Nylon cloth
- Various types of sand
- Iron claw centres (55 mm to 230 mm inner diameter)
- Paper cores for wheel centre
Manufacturing And Process
Step 1
Prepare nylon cloth and sand layers on a CRA-500 bias cutting and rolling machine or equivalent
Step 2
Load the bias-cut material and select the iron claw or paper core for the wheel centre
Step 3
Set the forming machine (CRA-800) to the target outer diameter and ply count
Step 4
The CRA-800 forms the ventilated structure by folding and clamping the material stack
Step 5
Transfer the formed body to the CRA-600 pressing machine for densification
Step 6
Final edge trimming on the CRA-700 machine gives the wheel its running face
Quality Control
- Hydraulic pressure maintained at 7 MPa during forming and pressing for consistent ply density
- Sample wheels tested before shipment to verify structure and dimensions
- Free sample testing available using the buyer's own nylon cloth and sand
- Installation and operation training provided to ensure correct setup and first-run success
Customization Options
- Clamp sets available for specific outer diameter bands within 150 mm to 500 mm
- Iron claw or paper core tooling matched to the buyer's existing centres
- Machine configuration adjusted for local voltage and phase requirements
- Can be quoted as part of a full CRA-500, CRA-800, CRA-600, CRA-700 production line
Compared With The Alternatives
| CRA-300 Airway Buffs Forming Iris Machine | The CRA-300 covers 100 to 250 mm wheels; use it for small-sized buffs, not for 150 to 500 mm non woven buffs |
|---|---|
| Manual buff forming | Manual assembly lacks consistency in ply spacing and cannot match the output of the CRA-800 machine |
| CRA-360 Airflow Corrugated Buffs Making Machine | The CRA-360 forms corrugated buffs with a different structure; not suitable for ventilated non woven buffs |
Use Guide
- Ensure nylon cloth and sand layers are cut on the bias before forming to maintain fold consistency
- Change clamp sets only when switching between diameter bands; each set change is similar in effort to a tooling swap
- Maintain hydraulic pressure at 7 MPa to prevent loose ply spacing and ensure structural integrity
- Process formed bodies through pressing and trimming the same shift to avoid ply relaxation

Airway/Ventilated Non Woven Buffs FAQ
What is the outer diameter range of these non woven buffs?
150 mm to 500 mm (6 inches to 22 inches). For smaller wheels, consider the CRA-300 machine.
Can I use paper cores instead of iron claws?
Yes, paper cores can be used as the wheel centre. The CRA-800 machine supports both iron claws and paper cores.
What machines are needed to produce these buffs?
The CRA-800 forming machine, CRA-600 pressing machine, and CRA-700 trim/edge cutting machine are required.
What is the lead time for the machine?
5 to 15 workdays if in stock; otherwise 15 to 60 workdays depending on quantity and model.
What are the payment terms?
Orders up to 10000 USD are 100% in advance. Above 10000 USD, it is 30% T/T deposit with the balance before shipment.
Can I test my own materials before buying?
Yes, free sample testing is available. You cover freight and send the specific nylon cloth and sand you plan to use.
Is the machine interface in English?
Yes, the control interface and machine language are in English.
