Hot glass handling hardware and consumables

The use of graphite and C/C composites have become major elements in these production lines, as these materials offer numerous advantages:

• Their contact does not damage hot glass.
• They are entirely resistant to thermal shocks.
• They are self-lubricating.
• They offer better resistance to wear.
• They have lower thermal conductivity than metals.

Mersen's CERBERITE® solutions combine metal supports and carbon consumables.

The design of these systems thus offers numerous advantages, such as:

• rapid disassembly of worn expendables.
• easy access on the production line.
• a design developed with the main equipment manufacturers.
• high mechanical properties at high temperatures.

Finally, owing to standardised equipment, Mersen's international network can meet your maintenance requirements throughout the world.
