IP Philipsen Classic Hoof Trimming Disc, Coarse Grit, dia. 115–150 mm, Kerbl

The IP Philipsen Classic disc is a recognized market standard among professional tools for mechanical hoof trimming in cattle. The product solves the problem of fast and precise removal of hard hoof horn, which is crucial for maintaining herd welfare. According to the industry principle, “healthy hooves carry milk,” so maintaining them in excellent condition directly affects production efficiency and reduces animal discomfort.

Application
The disc is designed for intensive hoof trimming work in large herds:

• Professional hoof trimming: first-choice tool for professional hoof trimmers and veterinarians
• Processing very hard hoof horn: effective for neglected and heavily overgrown hooves
• Use with angle grinders: compatible with devices supporting discs from 115 to 150 mm in diameter
• Working environment: high-production dairy farms

Operating principle
Philipsen Classic uses carbide coating technology applied to a metal body. The coarse grit means an open abrasive structure that prevents clogging with hoof material. As a result, the disc maintains consistent cutting aggressiveness while minimizing vibrations transferred to the machine and operator’s hand, improving precision during hoof shaping.

In practice

• No clogging effect → the open grit structure allows continuous operation without frequent cleaning, even with wet hoof horn
• Low heat generation → the special abrasive geometry reduces friction, protecting sensitive hoof tissues from overheating
• Extreme durability → Philipsen Classic discs are significantly more durable than standard abrasive discs, reducing trimming costs per cow
• Clean cutting → the disc does not tear hoof edges, leaving a smooth surface that limits the development of harmful microorganisms in microcracks
