Airway Buff Production Line
A full ventilated airway buff line from fabric roll to finished wheel. The process starts with bias cutting, slitting and rolling on the CRA-500, followed by forming on the CRA-800 for 200 to 600 mm wheels or the CRA-300 iris machine for 100 to 250 mm wheels.

The Short Version
A full ventilated airway buff line from fabric roll to finished wheel. The process starts with bias cutting, slitting and rolling on the CRA-500, followed by forming on the CRA-800 for 200 to 600 mm wheels or the CRA-300 iris machine for 100 to 250 mm wheels. The line continues with pressing on the CRA-600 and edge trimming on the CRA-700. All machines are designed for one operator and are used in buffing wheel factories across China.
Where It Goes Wrong
- Hand forming wheels leads to inconsistent ply spacing and uneven finish across shifts
- Manual folding and tying of fabric caps requires multiple workers per line
- Different suppliers for fabric, iron claws and plates cause mismatched tooling and setup delays
- Changing wheel structures such as weave or pleated designs requires new equipment and training
What Buyers Need
- A forming machine that maintains consistent wheel geometry across shifts
- Tooling compatible with 2 inch, 2.5 inch and 5 inch iron claws and round or hexagon hole plates
- A material supply chain that matches machine settings for fabric, sisal and iron components
- English language interface and training to align with machine control panels
Typical Situations
- A new airway buff line starting from fabric roll through cutting, forming, pressing and trimming
- An existing line expanding to produce 500 to 600 mm wheels for sheet metal polishing applications
- A wheel maker adding corrugated weave buffs using a CRA-360 alongside an existing airway line
- A pleated buff producer switching from hand folding to a fold and stitch machine with glue press
How The Work Runs
Step 1
Bias cutting, slitting and rolling on the CRA-500 to feed fabric into the former on the bias
Step 2
Forming on the CRA-800 for wheels with 200 to 600 mm outer diameter or on the CRA-300 iris machine for 100 to 250 mm wheels
Step 3
Pressing on the CRA-600 buffing polishing wheel pressing machine
Step 4
Edge and trim cutting on the CRA-700 buffs trim and edge cutting machine
Step 5
Sewing where required using an SG01M spiral stitch machine or a one metre long arm machine
