ROBACERAM®-PX dewatering element

Ceramics for the paper industry – especially hard and smooth hybrid ceramics for positions under significant stress.

 

  • Increased fabric lifetime (excellent surface quality)
  • Energy saving (reduced power consumption)
  • Safety ceramic (thermal shock resistance of 700°C)
  • The most wear-resistant ceramic

 

Special feature

This dewatering element has a useful ceramic thickness of up to 8 mm!!!

  

Safety features

  • Unique composite system (mechanical form closure)
  • No piano keying thanks to special bracing and adherence

 

Application

Speeds of up to 3,000 m/min – for all positions under high stress
in modern paper machines, especially areas with a high vacuum.

 

Supply range

  • Foils
  • Covers
  • Former blades
  • Felt suction strips
  • Deflector blades
