MIRROWORX® application example – Prosperplast
Milling instead of grinding thanks to MIRROWORX®
The internationally active company Prosperplast, with headquarters in Poland, is today one of the leading suppliers of plastic products for workshops and for home and garden use.
The company was founded by the two brothers Pawel and Marek Mrozek in Buczkowice in 1993 and has grown dynamically ever since. Prosperplast bases its success on constant technical progress, modernisation and flexibility. At the same time, its products stand out by way of their exceptional quality and a diversity of original and individual forms.
The latter point was the catalyst for cooperation with POKOLM Frästechnik GmbH & Co. KG. As a provider of individual tool solutions and professional milling strategy advice, POKOLM is an ideal partner for the manufacturing of unusual forms to high quality standards.
Absolutely smooth, mirror-like surfaces
During its recent testing of the POKOLM milling cutter MIRROWORX®, Prosperplast achieved excellent results. “Milling instead of grinding” is the motto for this finishing tool. MIRROWORX® was developed to produce absolutely smooth, mirror-like surfaces, and also holds its own in applications which are otherwise the domain of grinding thanks to its high tooth feedrates.
