The Upgraded Parduc P40: A smarter automatic Skate Sharpening machine with a new mobile LED touchscreen

The Parduc P40 automatic skate sharpening machine has received an important upgrade. Combining its proven automatic sharpening and profiling technology with a larger, full-colour mobile LED touchscreen and redesigned operating controls, the updated P40 makes professional skate sharpening even more convenient and intuitive. Designed and manufactured in Finland by Parduc, the P40 is developed for professional skate shops, ice hockey clubs, skating facilities and demanding users who require precision, consistency and efficient operation.
The latest improvements focus on usability, operator control and a more flexible working experience – without changing the machine's established core sharpening and profiling capabilities.

A completely upgraded mobile LED touchscreen

One of the most noticeable improvements to the Parduc P40 is its new LED touchscreen.

The updated display is larger, more modern and features a clear full-color interface. Compared with the previous display, the improved screen provides a better overview of the machine's functions and makes navigating the different settings easier.

Another important improvement is its mobile design.
  

The touchscreen has a dedicated home position at the back of the machine. When needed, the operator can simply lift the display from its holder and move it to another convenient position. There is no need to keep the screen permanently in its original mounting position. This provides greater flexibility during everyday sharpening operations, allowing the operator to position the display according to the working environment and personal preferences.

Dedicated control pages

The new touchscreen interface features clearly organised pages for different machine functions:

• Sharpening: Access and adjust the automatic skate sharpening settings and operating parameters.

• Dressing: Control the grinding wheel dressing process and maintain the correct grinding wheel shape.

• Manual controls: Access manual machine operations when more direct control is required.

• Home: Navigate the interface and access the main operating functions.

The multi-language interface also makes the machine easier to operate for international customers and users.

Whether you are sharpening hockey skates, figure skates or other ice skates, the improved display provides a clearer and more convenient way to manage the sharpening process.

Improved operating controls – start and stop at your fingertips

The upgraded Parduc P40 also features a redesigned physical control layout.
The start/stop button has been relocated to the side of the machine. Previously positioned at the back, the button is now easier to reach during everyday operation. A new dedicated speed adjustment knob has also been added, giving the operator convenient physical control over the grinding wheel rotation speed. This combination of touchscreen operation and physical controls provides a more practical operating experience, bringing frequently used functions within easier reach.

Professional automatic skate sharpening and profiling

While the user interface and controls have been upgraded, the P40 continues to deliver the precision and versatility that make it a professional automatic skate sharpening machine. The Parduc P40 combines automatic skate sharpening with an integrated profiling function, allowing users to perform two important skate maintenance operations with one machine.

Consistent automatic skate sharpening

The P40 is designed to provide repeatable sharpening results with adjustable operating parameters.
The operator can customize several sharpening settings, including:

• Number of sharpening cycles

• Length of sharpening movement

• Grinding disc pressure

• Skate carrier speed

These adjustable parameters help users achieve the desired sharpening result for different skate types and requirements.

The machine supports traditional hollow sharpening, as well as FLAT and Flat Bottom sharpening techniques.
Integrated grinding wheel dressing system A properly dressed grinding wheel is essential for achieving consistent sharpening results.

The Parduc P40 features an integrated spinner system that maintains the grinding wheel's shape and working surface. This is particularly important when working with different sharpening profiles, including traditional hollow, FLAT and Flat Bottom configurations. With the integrated spinner dressing system, the operator can maintain the grinding wheel and achieve reliable results throughout the sharpening process.

Built-in skate profiling function

The P40 is more than an automatic skate sharpener. Its integrated profiling function allows users to customize the blade profile according to the skater's requirements.

The machine offers four preset profiling lengths, providing flexibility for different skating styles and preferences.

Proper skate profiling can help improve blade contact with the ice, balance, stability and maneuverability.

For professional skate technicians, having automatic sharpening and profiling capabilities in one machine offers a practical solution for comprehensive skate maintenance.

Self-centering skate holder

The P40 features a self-centering skate holder designed to accommodate different runner thicknesses without manual adjustments.

This helps maintain consistent positioning during sharpening and makes the machine suitable for different types of ice skates.

The P40 can be used for hockey skates, figure skates and bandy skates, making it a versatile solution for professional sharpening environments.

In addition, profiling two blades simultaneously is possible using the wider Parduc A46 grinding wheel and the Parduc T2 dual-blade holder.

Parduc develops and manufactures its skate sharpening machines in Finland, combining practical experience, engineering and continuous product development.

The P40 reflects this approach: a professional automatic skate sharpening machine designed to meet the requirements of demanding users.

The latest upgrade demonstrates Parduc's commitment to improving the everyday user experience through practical innovations.

The larger mobile LED touchscreen, multi-language interface, redesigned start/stop button and dedicated speed adjustment knob make the P40 even more convenient to operate.
