In industrial scenarios such as mining crushing and building materials processing, the material separation cone plays a “key role” in ensuring the efficient operation of equipment, responsible for the uniform distribution and guidance of materials, and enduring the impact, friction, and complex working conditions of high hardness materials for a long time. With the upgrading of material technology, silicon carbide separation cones have gradually replaced traditional alumina separation cones and become the preferred choice for stable production enterprises. Its advantages are mainly reflected in three core aspects.
Ultra wear-resistant properties, significantly extending service life
The core requirement of the material separation cone is to resist material erosion and wear, and hardness is the key to wear resistance. The hardness of silicon carbide is much higher than that of aluminum oxide, just like putting a “diamond armor” on the feeding cone. When continuously processing hard materials such as granite and river pebbles, the alumina separation cone is prone to surface wear and deformation, resulting in a decrease in diversion effect and requiring frequent shutdown and replacement; The silicon carbide dividing cone can maintain surface integrity for a long time, reduce accessory consumption, make the production line run more smoothly, and reduce replacement frequency from the source.
Adaptability to extreme environments, stability without “falling off the chain”
The extreme conditions such as temperature fluctuations and acid-base media in industrial production require high tolerance for the separation cone. Silicon carbide inherently possesses excellent high-temperature resistance, and can quickly dissipate heat even in the event of sudden temperature changes, making it less prone to cracking; Aluminum oxide is prone to fracture due to the accumulation of thermal stress in high temperature or frequent temperature difference environments. In addition, silicon carbide has stronger resistance to corrosive media such as strong acids and alkalis. In complex working conditions such as chemical and metallurgical industries, it is more stable than alumina separation cones and will not cause performance degradation or premature scrapping due to corrosion.
Better overall cost and effortless long-term savings
For enterprises, the selection of equipment accessories not only depends on the initial purchase price, but also on the long-term comprehensive cost. Although the initial procurement cost of silicon carbide dividing cones is slightly higher than that of alumina, combined with their long service life, the cost of accessory wear and tear per unit time is significantly reduced. More importantly, due to insufficient wear and temperature resistance, the alumina separation cone needs to be frequently shut down for replacement, which not only increases the cost of manual replacement, but also leads to production line interruption and hidden production losses; The silicon carbide sorting cone can operate stably for a long time, reduce downtime frequency, and lower the dual costs of manual maintenance and production interruption. Long term use can save a lot of expenses for enterprises.
From performance to cost, silicon carbide separation cones have demonstrated significant advantages over alumina separation cones. In today’s pursuit of efficient, energy-saving, and sustainable production, this type of accessory selection that relies on material upgrades can not only improve the stability of the production line, but also bring tangible economic benefits to enterprises, becoming a more cost-effective and wise choice in industrial production.
