IP Philipsen Classic Hoof Trimming Disc, Fine Grit, Ø115–150 mm, Kerbl

The IP Philipsen Classic Hoof Trimming Disc is a trusted professional abrasive tool designed for the most demanding hoof trimming applications. It effectively solves the challenge of working on exceptionally hard and dry hoof horn, providing precise material removal and a smooth, high-quality finish.

Application

The disc is intended for professional hoof trimmers and veterinarians working with large cattle herds. Its fine grit makes it ideal for:

• Final smoothing of the hoof sole.
• Working on cattle with exceptionally hard hoof horn, such as animals kept on dry surfaces.
• Precisely leveling hoof edges before applying orthopedic hoof blocks.

How It Works

The disc removes hoof horn through mechanical abrasion using densely distributed abrasive particles bonded to a durable steel body. The fine grit creates a greater number of contact points with the hoof surface, allowing controlled and accurate material removal while minimizing the risk of damaging the sensitive soft tissue beneath the sole.

Benefits in Practice

• Excellent performance on hard hoof horn: The specialized abrasive coating prevents the disc from slipping on extremely hard surfaces, ensuring efficient trimming even on heavily keratinized hooves.
• Durable construction: The robust steel backing plate provides excellent stability and resistance to deformation, extending the service life of the disc during high-speed operation.
• Smooth surface finish: The fine grit produces an almost polished hoof surface, helping reduce microcracks where bacteria could develop.
• Excellent heat dissipation: The steel base efficiently transfers heat away from the working surface, reducing the risk of overheating the hoof horn during prolonged trimming.
