Kemet Cold Mounting Systems
The Kemet range of cold mounting resins includes acrylic and epoxy solutions. Cold mounting systems are particularly useful for
delicate specimens that will not withstand the heat and pressure from a Hot Mounting press, and are also a good way of
producing high volumes of mounted samples since 1 mix can produce many samples.

Hot Mounting Systems (Requires Hot Mounting Press)
Hot embedding resins are extremely hard, acid-resistant
and low-shrinkage. They reduce sweating and
guarantee clean edges when polishing. Hot embedding
resins are available in powder form and are divided into
two categories:
• Thermoresistant (Phenolic or Allylic).
• Thermoplastic (Acrylic or Epoxy).

Kemet Fixing Systems
Kemet have a variety of mounting methods suitable for
all types of grinding and polishing consumables.
Non-adhesive grinding papers:Non adhesive papers can be used with a paper holding ring. This clamps the papers in place,
and allows for easy and fast changing. Paper rings are available to suit 200, 250,
and 300mm diameter platens.
Self-adhesive Grinding and Polishing Consumables:Self-adhesive consumables can be used in 3 different ways.
Option 1: The self adhesive discs can be fixed directly to the platen.
Option 2: The Kemtak disc is used with Bramet self-adhesive grinding papers. It can be mounted onto the machine platen, or onto a KMS disc if
is being used with a magnetic platen. The plastic barrier film on the Bramet disc grips the Kemtak non-skid surface so that the adhesive is not
used. This makes it faster and cleaner when changing from one grit size to another. (Fig. 1).
Option 3: Self-adhesive grinding papers or polishing cloths can be mounted to a KMS disc. The machine platen is fitted with a magnetic disc. This
allows easy change over from one consumable to another. Multiple KMS discs are needed to use this method in the most productive way. (Fig. 2).
Magnetic Grinding and Polishing Consumables:Magnetic systems have become the standard for most
Metallographic processes. The Kemet magnetic disc
system is suitable for Kemet’s range of magnetic
polishing pads, diamond grinding and fine grinding
discs, and any magnetic consumable from other
suppliers. (Fig. 3).

Kemet Liquid Diamond
Type KM:Type KM liquid diamond is a low viscosity oil/water emulsion suitable for most
applications aimed for the metallographic market.
The new formula has the following advantages:-
• Lower viscosity to give better stock removal
• Less inclusion pullout
• Spreads better over the polishing cloth
• Parts are easier to clean after polishing
• Stable emulsion which does not separate
• Diamond stays much longer in suspension
Kemet Diamond Suspension AP
Kemet Diamond Suspension AP is a high
quality alcohol based polycrystalline
diamond suspension. It is ideal for
polishing specimens which must not
come into contact with water. It is
supplied in 500ml containers. Other

SpecificationThe Spectral MM is an automatic milling machine for fast
milling of ferrous and non-ferrous materials for emission and
X-ray spectrometer analysis. Automatic fine surface milling
guarantees the highest level of reproducibility through
automatic processing of the specimen. The Spectral MM
has a reliable and robust design with low noise and emission
levels. It has easy access to all sides.

Spectral 250
Spectral 350
Specification The Spectral 250 is a table-top portable
surface grinder for the preparation of
steel samples for Spectroscopy.
A compact design with vibration free operation makes it a practical instrument to
work with. Low noise and dust generation levels as well as standard outlet for
dust exhauster are additional advantages.
The 250 mm dia Drive Plate is dynamically balanced for smooth running. As
grinding discs are held on the plates by vacuum they do not need to be self
adhesive. 40 to 120 grit discs can usually be used to obtain the desired surface
quality. The Spectral 250 is equipped with an electronic brake system which
brings the motor to a quick full stop in seconds.
SpecificationThe Spectral 350 Dual Disc grinder is used to achieve excellent precision flat surfaces
on iron and steel specimens for Spectroscopic Analysis. The robust and vibration-free
construction has been designed for continuous operation at high sample throughput.
The Spectral 350 has 2 independently driven 350mm dia plates. These are dynamically
balanced for smooth running. Speeds can be set at 1400 or 2800 rpm so coarse and
fine grinding can be done on the same machine. Abrasive discs are fixed to the plates
by vacuum they do not need to be self adhesive. They are easy to replace and the full
width of the disc can be used.
A strong Aspiration Device (Blower) unit is available as an accessory with easily
replaceable filter. This creates a dust free working environment. Both plates are
covered half way by a lid which allows grinding in just one area for operator safety
and comfort.
The Spectral 350 is also equipped with a breaking device which brings the plates to a
rapid stop. The machine is fitted with safety interlocks which do not allow the lid to be
opened before the motors are stopped.

Kemet Geological Sample Preparation
The Kemet range of Geological sample preparation equipment can cater for high or low volume production. The details below will
help to determine the most suitable system for your application:
Step 1Impregnate porous samples using the Vacumet, or
mount samples directly onto glass slides using the
KEPT resin.
Step 2Use the Geoform to first section the mounted
sample, and then grind to the required thickness.
Step 3For polishing up to
3 specimens, use
the Forcipol 300-1V
with the Forcimat
TS head.
ORFor high volumes, use the Kemtech 15 Geo to produce flat lapped
thin sections, followed by the Kemet 300 LVAC for polishing.

Geoform Thin Section Cutting and Grinding Machine
SpecificationThe Geoform is a precision thin sectioning
machine for mineralogy, combining cutting and
grinding functions. With the cutting module,
using Diamond or CBN wheels up
to 200mm diameter, the specimen
is mounted on the holder by way
of a vacuum and sectioned to a
thickness of approx 0.5 micron.
Water cooling avoids deformation.
The grinding module is designed for precision grinding. A universal vacuum holder accepts different sizes of glass slides by
changing the location pins. A vacuum pump delivered as standard holds the glass slide fixed on the holder during the grinding
process. A built-in digital micrometer ensures high precision and the specimen is ground with an accuracy of microns.

AkuDisp Peristaltic Dispenser
The AkuDisp is a peristaltic dispenser designed to
work with Forcipol and Kemet lapping machines.
It incorporates a stirrer and has programmable
timer which is preset with 10 second time intervals
and will pump for 2 seconds. A separate purge
button will return any solution in the pipework
and spray head to the receptacle.
The AkuDisp can be programmed to pump
slurries for specifi c durations and frequencies
enabling metered dispensing. This allows a user
to accurately control consumable usage.
When integrated onto a Kemet/Metkon machine,
the AkuDisp will start and stop with the host
machine timer. This means an operator can leave
a machine to concentrate on other tasks, safe in
the knowledge that the AkuDisp will switch off unattended.
The AkuDisp is easily serviceable, with all rotating parts fi tted to the exterior.
