Ceramic dewatering elements are much more wear resistant than their plastic equivalents. There are many different materials available, all of which can be tailored to meet customer requirements (machine speed, filler content, etc.). ROBACERAM dewatering elements made of ceramics are suitable for all machine speeds.
This dewatering elements have a useful ceramic thickness of up to 8 mm
Ceramics for the paper industry – especially hard and smooth hybrid ceramics for positions under significant stress.
Due to the enormous energy saving which shows the high quality PX-ceramic especially at HighVac covers, the innovative carbon fiber cross-beam are perfect for that application. They prevent, even at high vacuums of up to 70 kPa, a bending of the cover!
Speeds of up to 3,000 mpm – for all positions under high stress in modern paper machines, especially areas with a high vacuum.
Liquid-phase sintered premium silicon carbide with extremely good wear resistance.
Speeds of up to 3,000 mpm – fourdrinier machines for all positions under stress
in modern paper machines (from gravitation dewatering)
Special nitride with further improved surface quality and increased hardness.
Speeds of up to 3,000 mpm – for all positions under high stress in modern paper machines, especially areas with a high vacuum.
Highly rated nitride ceramic with needle-shaped grain structure and excellent surface quality.
Speeds of up to 800 mpm – GAP formers
Speeds of up to 1,500 mpm – fourdrinier machines for all positions under stress in modern paper machines (from gravitation dewatering)
Extremely "soft" special ceramic made from zirconium oxide. Primarily used in press sections.
Speeds of up to 800 mpm – for the press section
Not recommended for former elements
Special ceramic for special applications e.g. with a higher filler content.
Speeds of up to 800 m/min – entire wire section
Speeds of up to 1,200 m/min – from the forming board to the water line
Vacufoils & formers, flat suction units with a higher filler content
High-quality technical aluminum oxide ceramic offering the best price-performance ratio.
Speeds of up to 800 mpm – entire wire section
Speeds of up to 1,200 mpm – from the forming board to the water line
The performance and reliability of components used for paper machines are influenced by a variety of factors. These criteria need to be considered in order to make the right choice. Examples:
