How do my CUP TS and TM wheels work when there are 36 ° in the Glass Company?

I finished the last page of my seventh passport.
Considering that I am 45 years old and I started working at 17, the number of trips I made for work has something incredible.
2020 has just started and I returned from a trip to South America.
Other than Gulliver’s travels, they are always away on business in near and far places.
This year I decided to take note of all the trips I make and so let’s start …..

Travel 1 – South America

A friend called me 10 minutes ago and jokingly said: “Tell your wife that you were in Brazil with 2 Brazilians under a palm tree” …
I was not in Brazil and I was not even with 2 Brazilians, I was in a glass factory (I don’t say exactly where because otherwise the competitors launch themselves into that glass factory like hungry martens).


A very large glass factory, with more than 500 employees and an annual level of growth that we unfortunately dream of here in Europe.

This trip was a great challenge, not so much for me as for my peripheral and cup polishing wheels.
As everyone now knows, my wheels are also produced with recycled materials with a view to respecting the environment and operator safety.

But how do my wheels produced with recycled materials respond when there are 36 ° C in the Glass Company?
How do my wheels produced with recycled materials work when there are 36 ° C and a humidity of 85%?
How do my wheels produced also with recycled materials react when there are 36 ° C, a humidity of 85% and the cooling water reaches 40 °?

Now I know, despite the temperature of the air, despite the 85% humidity, despite the very hot water, my Polishing wheels are going great.

What do I mean by “great”?
They last 35,000 meters!

Yes, 35,000 meters working in the same cycle of production of glass of different thicknesses and different sizes, because if the processed glasses have the same thickness we also reach 40,000!
The level of polish we achieved was super bright as always.

For me it was a really tiring experience, 36 ° and a humidity of 85% are demanding not only for the Polishing wheel but also for me, and at the same time super motivating.
I lived a week in a huge glass factory working exactly as if I were a glazier or assistant glazier.
For those who do a job like mine and produce Polishing wheels, an experience like this is priceless.
I had the opportunity to see how the cup polishing wheel works on all types of glass, thin, thick, laminated, monolithic and it wasn’t a simple simulation but a real week of glazier’s work.
After all, just by putting your hands in this way you can understand exactly how a polishing wheel works, what are its strengths and what are its weaknesses.
I love getting to the bottom of things and having an attitude as a real professional of the trade and not as a simple seller who shoots bullshit.

Summing up, WONDERFUL week, I lost liters and liters of liquids due to the heat and when I landed in Bologna and it was drizzling it seemed to me the most beautiful thing in the world (after the noodles in broth that await me on my return from every trip) .

Truly educational experience and ITALIAN POLISHING WHEELS that worked great even in extreme weather conditions.

Now I’m getting ready for the next trip … only 2 weeks left.
