Weiler Corp. has introduced a line of ceramic filament products and power tools specifically designed to assist the nuclear industry. In nuclear power plants, Foreign Material Exclusion (FME) programs may limit or even exclude the use of wire brushes in some areas during routine maintenance or repairs. Weiler’s black Nylox ceramic filament brushes are a suitable alternative to wire brushes for many deburring, cleaning and surface preparation applications. The ceramic abrasive in Weiler’s black Nylox filament is up to 400% more aggressive than the grey silicon carbide grains in other abrasive nylon filaments, resulting in increased productivity. The ceramic grain also makes these brushes a suitable choice for use on materials such as Inconel, stainless steel and titanium. Weiler has also worked with Metabo on a line of right angle grinders and die grinders that have been designed to match the capabilities of these products. Black ceramic filament brushes available for use on the Weiler/Metabo right angle grinder include narrow face wheels, cup brushes and bevel brushes. Available for use on the Weiler/Metabo die grinder are end brushes, controlled flare end brushes and conflex brushes. Weiler also offers hand scratch brushes with the same black Nylox ceramic filament.
