CHROME, CERAMIC, CARBIDE
Specialists for wear resistance
Today, a longer service life of industrial wear parts provides an important edge in highly competitive markets. The further development of established methods, e.g. during hard chromium plating, lead to improved results. In addition to increased hardness, thermal coating of a wear part with a ceramic layer also produces better values.
Market trends rely on a differentiated material use:
- Chrome coatings are the most economical solution for a variety of applications
- Ceramic surfaces for sophisticated processes with abrasive effects
- Carbide for processes that place highest demands on homogeneity and wear resistance.
In paper production, the surface finish of the metering rods is of increasing importance. There is no general recommendation in terms of which finish offers the ideal solution for a certain process. The following process parameters provide virtually countless variants:
- Composition of the paper
- Ingredients of coating media
- Coating method (direct or indirect)
- Production conditions of paper machines
- Metering bar (diameter; profiled or smooth)
As specialist for metering systems we concentrate fully on these aspects of paper production. This also includes high quality consulting that is hard to match.
Hard chrome plated metering rods
The galvanic coating process allows a uniform layer thickness over the entire surface. This uniformity is of particular advantage when using profiled metering rods with steep angle geometry.
Thermal coated metering rods
Ceramic coatings are applied using plasma or HVOF (=High-Velocity-Oxygen-Fuel) coating process. The surface sensitivity of the new metering rod generation has been significantly reduced in favor of practicability. The life of our metering rods can be extended up to 3 or 7 times, which has been proven by numerous references.
