KAMROLLER® Fused silica rollers are precision components designed for use in high-temperature environments such as those found in the production of flat glass, container glass, and metallurgical processes. Here are some of their key product features:
- High-Temperature Stability: KAMROLLER® Fused silica rollers can withstand extremely high temperatures, often up to 1000°C or more, without deformation. This makes them suitable for processes like glass annealing and tempering.
- Low Thermal Expansion: The material has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, which minimizes the dimensional changes that can occur with temperature fluctuations, thus ensuring product consistency and quality.
- Excellent Thermal Shock Resistance: They can be rapidly heated or cooled without cracking, a property essential for processes involving sudden temperature changes.
- Chemical Inertness: Fused silica is chemically inert, meaning it won’t react with the materials it comes into contact with during processing. This prevents contamination and ensures the purity of the final product.
- Durability and Wear Resistance: These rollers are highly durable and resistant to wear, even in continuous operation, which reduces maintenance requirements and prolongs service life.
- Low Maintenance: Due to their high resistance to thermal shock and low wear rate, fused silica rollers typically require less frequent replacement and maintenance, contributing to reduced downtime and higher productivity.
- Smooth Surface: The rollers are often polished to achieve a smooth surface, which is crucial to prevent marking or damaging the materials that are being processed, especially in glass manufacturing.
- Customizability: Fused silica rollers can be fabricated in various sizes and shapes to meet the specific needs of different industrial applications.
