Grinding performance from Hunter

It was a year ago at SALTEX 2022 when the announcement was made which saw the Hunter Grinders and Lloyds Mowers brands become divisions within the Howardson Group alongside the Dennis and SISIS ranges.

A year on and Hunter Grinders is returning to SALTEX where visitors will be able to see a range of the company’s leading grinding machinery.

The Jupiter ATI series 6 flagship model will be of particular interest to attendees. It is a fully automatic grinder which combines the accuracy of full relief grinding, full spin grinding and also relief and spin grinding, with the ability to grind bottom blades, in one machine. Further benefits include:

• Fully programmable, with automatic traverse, indexing and infeed, returning cylinders and bottom blades back to manufacturers specification.
• Will grind up to 42-inch cylinders and bottom blades out of situ.
• No need to change grinding wheels between spin and relief modes.
• The Jupiter ATI series 6 will achieve the highest standard of accuracy automatically.
• It absorbs shock, vibration, and noise.
• The grinder converts to a precision bottom blade grinder in under a minute.
• Variable cylinder speeds in spin mode for increased operator control.
• Automatic docking mode for the grinding head, should you wish to stop the machine mid-operation, again giving the operator greater control and flexibility over the grinding process.
• A countdown to indicate the number of cycles completed on full spin grinding allows the operator to take that coffee break without losing sequence.
The Amazon, a dedicated bottom blade grinder which grinds top and front of the blade at the same time and is fully automatic with full guarding, will also be on display.

Visitors to SALTEX 2023 can find Hunter Grinders on stand E071.
