Six decades on and Viet's still a benchmark sander firm

Viet, which specialises in wide belt sanders, was founded in 1953 by Ettore Vichi and is now part of the Biesse Group. It is one of the world leaders in the production of surface finishing machinery, with models to meet the needs of both small artisan workshops and large scale businesses.

Designed for the smaller workshop, despite its compact size the Viet S211, the smallest model in the range, makes this entry-level sander the perfect solution for workshops looking for an efficient wide-belt sander that meets the requirement of low to medium volume calibration and sanding applications.

Precise and functional, the S211 features twin sanding heads to calibrate and sand timber, preparing it for further processing. It features a working width of 1100mm and a convenient push-button panel to control of the machine’s functions.

Robustly built to give a long working life, the popular S1 is the ideal choice for use where high levels of throughput are required at an affordable price. It’s a heavy duty twin-head machine combining high precision functionality and build quality. Its two sanding heads makes it the perfect choice for both calibrating and fine sanding. A thick anti-wear steel work bed guarantees precision for any job, while a wide range of sanding units are available to allow customisation to suit a wide range of applications.

Incorporating three sanding heads, the Viet S2 offers outstanding flexibility in a single machine. Described as the ultimate in surface finishing, the addition of an extra sanding head allows for more sanding elements to be combined. This enables users to obtain the most suitable configuration for difficult applications or for multiple applications to be carried out on the same machine.

The S2 features a solid and stable welded steel frame with the choice of stiff, pneumatic, electronic segmented and high-performance electronic pads. It has a highly efficient braking system featuring disc brakes, with a patented holding system for quick and easy changing of abrasive belts.

Viet’s Opera machine is a modular finishing centre with up to six heads which offers unrivalled customisation. The Opera delivers the ultimate technological solution to today’s demands for faster and more complex processing needs. Machines can be fully customised depending on individual requirements and deliver a constant high finish product quality coupled with outstanding productivity.

Key features include an IPC control system with a touch screen monitor for easy management of all machine operations and tablet supported remote control. A comprehensive range of sanding units deliver a panel finish quality that is vastly superior to the market standard, while a suctioned electronic pad allows extremely accurate, high-quality sanding operations.  

The Viet artisan range is available from T.M. Machinery Sales, who can also supply refurbished used machines. They will be exhibiting on Stand B610 at the W16 show at the NEC in October.
