Machinery and Consumables: Why the Result Depends on Both

In the industrial finishing sector, achieving the required result does not depend exclusively on the quality of the system.

The configuration of consumables, the working parameters, and the balance of the entire process play a decisive role in the final quality of the finishing.

For this reason, in addition to designing and manufacturing automatic polishing and finishing systems, SILLEM now also supports its customers in defining and supplying the most suitable consumables for each application.

Since 1946, we have been developing automatic machines engineered to guarantee solidity, production continuity, and process replicability over time. The experience gained from commissioning thousands of systems has allowed us to acquire deep know-how, not only in machinery design, but also in selecting the tools and parameters necessary to achieve a specific surface finishing.

Every configuration is developed based on the customer’s actual production needs.

Abrasive belts, flap wheels, brushes, compounds, and tools are selected and tested for each individual application, defining pressures, contact times, and working parameters capable of guaranteeing the required result.

This approach allows for process validation already during testing at SILLEM, enabling the customer to start production with a configuration that is already optimized and replicable even after the installation of the system.

Entrusting both machinery and consumables to a single partner means reducing development times, avoiding issues related to the integration of different suppliers, and simplifying any future adaptations in the event of format changes or new production requirements.

SILLEM’s objective is not merely to provide an automatic polishing machine, but to enable the customer to produce from day one with a stable, controlled process capable of guaranteeing the required finishing quality over time.

To identify the solution best suited to your production needs, the SILLEM team is at your disposal to offer dedicated consulting and support.
