PRECISION MEETS FLEXIBILITY
Multiformat Grinding
MULTI-FORMAT GRINDING MACHINE FROM SR SCHINDLER
ONE MACHINE – MANY EDGES, FORMATS AND POSSIBILITIES.
With our multi-format grinding machine from SR Schindler, you gain maximum flexibility in edge processing. Different formats and geometries can be machined on a single system – from simple chamfers and roundings to demanding profiles, including bullnose contours.
Multi-Format Capability
The system supports a wide range of concrete block sizes and shapes and allows for multiple passes as well as modular upgrades. This makes it ideal for manufacturers seeking high throughput and product diversity without compromising quality or precision.
The machine consists of 7 bridge modules for sawing, milling, contour milling, grinding, and bullnose finishing. Each bridge performs specific processing steps.
Detailed Function of Each Bridge
- Bridge 1 - sawing units Optional unit for pre-processing the chamfered sides with diamond saw blade
- Bridge 2 & 3 - 3 milling units for different product surfaces
- Bridge 4 - 2 milling units for radius [R1], with contour cutter
- Bridge 5 - 3 grinding units for different product surfaces
- Bridge 6 - 3 grinding units for different product surfaces
- Bridge 7 - 2 milling and 4 grinding swivel units for bullnose milling
For companies that need more than just a single profile.Instead of operating a separate solution for every profile, Multiformat Grinding combines all edge processing in a single system:
With Multiformat Grinding, you can respond flexibly to customer requirements – without having to invest in multiple specialized machines:
TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS
The multi format grinding system combines flexibly adjustable grinding units with a format-variable conveying line, allowing different stone widths, thicknesses and edge profiles to be processed on the same machine. An intuitive control with recipe management lets you store and recall profiles – ideal for recurring series and customer-specific variants. Precisely guided tool mounts ensure consistent edge quality, even in multi-shift operation. Integrated cooling systems improve tool life and the working environment. Its robust industrial design and maintenance-friendly access make Multiformat Grinding a reliable core machine in edge processing. Thanks to its fully scalable machine concept, the system can be tailored exactly to your required output – from a compact entry solution to a fully expanded high-end line – turning edge and surface processing into a consistently transparent and efficiently controlled process.
Frequently Asked Questions
The system handles a wide range of concrete products, including blocks, curbstones, slabs, and custom geometries. Different widths, thicknesses, and edge profiles can be processed on a single machine — from simple chamfers to complex bullnose contours.
