The Quantum Superior Plus 14 Inch Disc Blade

The Codiun Rail Quantum Superior Plus 14 Inch Disc Blade is the next generation of abrasive wheel for cutting both standard and hardened rail sections.

After bench tests and site trials the Codiun Rail Quantum Superior Plus 14 Inch Disc Blade managed 6 to 8 cuts straight through standard 113lb/UIC54 rail section before requiring replacement. These test results were achieved with the blade fixed to a Husqvarna K1260 Rail Cutting Machine.

After just 2 cuts of 113lb flat bottom standard rail section the reduced wear to the Codiun Rail Quantum Superior Plus 14 Inch Disc Blade is apparent. The picture above depicts the difference in blade size after conducting 2 cuts on a customer’s rail stillage. The machine operator was an experienced plant maintenance fitter working within the Network Rail supply chain.
