Lange Grinding & Machining uses 14 Blanchard grinders ranging from 36″ to 144″ to support large-part rotary surface grinding for industrial customers. This equipment gives our team the capacity to remove stock efficiently, improve flatness, and grind large ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces that require dependable surface grinding performance.
With Blanchard grinding capacity up to 156″ diagonally, a maximum height of 66″, a 120″ chuck size, and a maximum part weight of 40,000 lbs., Lange can handle grinding projects that many shops are not equipped to support. This makes our Blanchard grinding department especially valuable for large plates, die blocks, rotary tables, weldments, machine components, and heavy industrial parts.
Large-Capacity Blanchard Grinding Equipment
Blanchard grinding is a rotary surface grinding process used to remove material quickly while producing a flat, consistent surface. It is commonly used when a customer needs efficient stock removal, improved part flatness, and a dependable finish across a large workpiece.
Lange’s investment in large Blanchard grinders helps our team support projects that require more capacity than standard grinding equipment can provide. While many shops are limited to smaller machines, Lange has equipment that can support oversized parts and heavy industrial workpieces.

Supporting Lange’s Blanchard Grinding Capability
These machines directly support Lange’s Blanchard grinding capability. Customers often choose Blanchard grinding when they need material removed quickly from a large surface while maintaining practical flatness and finish requirements.
Blanchard grinding is especially useful for projects that require high production rates, moderate finish accuracy, and efficient processing of large or heavy workpieces. Lange’s large equipment capacity helps customers reduce the number of required setups and keep difficult grinding projects with one experienced provider.
Blanchard Grinding for Large Industrial Parts
Large industrial parts require more than machine size alone. They also require proper lifting capacity, careful setup, experienced operators, and the ability to inspect and coordinate the work through each step of the process. Lange’s Blanchard grinders are part of a broader equipment lineup that supports grinding, machining, lifting, and quality-control needs under one roof.
This is important for customers with heavy plates, bases, blocks, weldments, castings, and machine components that may require multiple operations. A part may need Blanchard grinding before CNC machining, surface grinding after material removal, or inspection before final delivery.
Working With Grinding, Machining, and Inspection Services
Blanchard grinding often works together with other Lange services, including surface grinding, CNC machining, planer milling, and quality control. This allows customers to keep related services coordinated with one machining and grinding provider.
For example, a customer may need a plate Blanchard ground to remove stock, then surface ground for additional finish requirements, machined for features, and inspected before shipment. Lange’s equipment lineup allows our team to review the full project and recommend the best sequence of operations.
Useful for Heavy Industrial Markets
Lange Grinding & Machining supports customers across demanding industrial markets, including aerospace, automotive, construction, earth moving equipment, military, mining, paper, power generation, steel mills, and other heavy industrial applications.
These industries often require grinding support for large parts that must perform under load, wear, heat, pressure, or repeated use. Blanchard grinding helps prepare those components by improving flatness, surface condition, and dimensional consistency before the part moves into service, assembly, repair, or additional machining.
Why Customers Choose Lange for Blanchard Grinding
Customers choose Lange for Blanchard grinding because our shop is built for large, heavy, and demanding industrial work. With 14 Blanchard grinders, large-part capacity, 40,000 lb. handling capability, and related machining and inspection services, Lange can support projects that many smaller grinding shops cannot handle efficiently.
Our team can help determine whether Blanchard grinding is the right process for your part based on size, material, finish requirements, tolerance needs, and production goals. When a part is too large for disc grinding or requires efficient rotary surface grinding, Blanchard grinding may be the right fit.
