One of the company‘s core strengths lies in the development and production of dewatering elements made from CeramX, a specially engineered material designed to meet the high demands of paper production environments.

The best of both worlds: With CeramX, we combine the positive properties of plastic and ceramic – extreme wear resistance with excellent sliding properties and low friction coefficients. The result is a flexible material with easy handling and extremely optimized wear characteristics.

This results in longer service life, improved energy efficiency, and also better paper sheet quality – key performance criteria in modern paper machines. The reduced abrasion also protects forming fabrics and lowers maintenance needs, helping mills to reduce downtime and operational costs.

Dewatering elements made from CeramX®

Break-resistant and temperature-resistant even at temperatures above 100° C, CeramX does its job – for example, in the form of dewatering elements in the paper industry. The flexibility of the material makes the handling very easy and there is no risk for thermal shock or material cracks like at full ceramic drainage elements. This combination of important advantages makes the material so popular.
