Application of Si3N4 forming rollers
–Silicon nitride ceramic rollers are used in metalworking applications, including rolling mills, where they aid in the shaping of metal plates or rods
–Silicon nitride ceramic rollers are often used in industrial machinery, such as conveying systems, where they come into contact with hot or abrasive materials. Their high-temperature resistance and abrasion resistance make them suitable for continuous and demanding material handling applications
–Used in heat treatment processes and furnaces to support and transport materials at high temperatures. Their ability to maintain structural integrity at high temperatures is critical in these applications
Packing
Silicon nitride forming rollers use appropriate outer boxes and internal buffer materials, and some components are also vacuum-packed.
