Foley has introduced the Foley 642 Quick Spin Reel Grinder.
The new grinder is designed to accommodate the widest of mower cylinders and is a simple roll-on roll-off solution to grinding, with the machine sitting at floor level. The roll-on roll-off solution removes the need for heavy lifting facilities, revolutionizing how equipment managers view touch-up spin grinding.
The Foley 642 Quick Spin Grinder will be complimentary to the company’s spin and relief methods for sharpening blades. It offers a fast, easy-operated option for providing a quick touch-up spin between regular relief grinding schedules. It also offers a solution for sharpening the extra wide, heavy mowers used on sports fields/pitches.
“This is truly a remarkable occasion,” Foley President and CEO Paul Rauker said at the BTME exhibition in Harrogate, England. “The 642 Quick Spin Reel Grinder is the first of its kind and I’m delighted to be here to acknowledge the significance of our latest development. It is a machine that will appeal to all grounds professionals who are looking to improve the performance and efficiency of their grinding programs. As the leading manufacturer of grinding equipment, Foley is once again leading the way in grinding technology. We have developed and patented simple to use controls to save time without compromising on performance.
“The patented clamping system effortlessly secures any cutting unit in all configurations and the roller clamp is adjustable for any variety of rollers and groomers. This machine really will change the way we look at grinding in the future.”
The Foley 642 Quick-Spin features simple to use controls, counter balanced spin drive, patented front and rear clamping system for pedestrian mowers, and power rear positioning levers for cylinders. It will accept up to 42-inch reel width and operates on 240v/15a power.
