ISO-Certified Manufacturer for Cement & Mining Plants Since 1992 | Trusted by Sinoma, Jidong Cement, and 100+ Global Clients.
Ceramic composite VRM grinding roller sleeves offer superior wear resistance, longer service life, and higher grinding efficiency compared to traditional alloy sleeves. Their advanced material reduces maintenance downtime and improves energy efficiency, making them a cost-effective upgrade for cement and mining applications.
| Parameter | Ceramic Compsite Sleeves | Standard Alloy Sleeve |
|---|---|---|
| Hardness (HRC) | 60+ (Ceramic) | 45-52 (High-Cr) |
| Lifespan | 18-24 Months | 6-8 Months |
| Crack Resistance | Zero Reported | 12% Failure Rate |
| Max Temp | 2000°C | 1200°C |
General high chromium cast iron roll sleeves and surfacing-repaired rolls sacrifice impact toughness for higher hardness, leading to cracking and operational failures. Ceramic block inlaid roll sleeves use ductile cast iron for superior crack resistance, combining 200HB hardness with 7% elongation to absorb impact damage effectively.
The wear-resistant ceramic block features a honeycomb-like working surface, enhancing bite force on ground materials and boosting milling efficiency. The metal-ceramic composite roller sleeve combines ceramic particles with high-alloy metal for superior durability and performance.
The wear-resistant ceramic block exhibits exceptional hardness, exceeding 60HRC, and delivers superior wear resistance compared to overlay welding or high chromium cast iron. Its even wear and stable mill operation ensure long-term reliability
Sinoma, a global leader in cement plant engineering, struggled with premature wear in critical crusher and mill components, causing unplanned downtime and high replacement costs.
Standard castings failed every 4-6 months under heavy abrasion, disrupting production schedules and maintenance budgets.
DaFang developed high-chrome alloy castings with optimized heat treatment, extending component lifespan to 12+ months. Sinoma reduced downtime by 40% and achieved 30% lower annual part replacement costs—keeping their cement production running smoothly.
Ceramic composite sleeves integrate ultra-hard ceramic particles (e.g., alumina or zirconia) into a high-toughness metal matrix, offering:
1、3–5x longer lifespan than standard alloys.
2、Superior abrasion resistance for hard minerals (e.g., silica-rich ores).
3、Stable grinding profile for consistent fineness and throughput.
Yes, they can be custom-engineered to fit major VRM brands (e.g., Loesche, Polysius, Atox, OK Mill). Compatibility depends on:
Dimensional specifications (OD, ID, width).
Mounting design (bolted, segmented, or solid sleeves).
Material blend (adjusted for specific ore/clinker hardness).
Similar installation time (both require disassembling the roller), but ceramic sleeves reduce replacement frequency (e.g., 24–36 months vs. 6–12 months).
Pre-fitted segmented designs can further minimize downtime.
Consider:
1、Material processed (abrasiveness, moisture, hardness).
2、Mill operating parameters (pressure, temperature, RPM).
3、Ceramic content (e.g., 30% alumina for cement vs. 40% for ores).
4、Supplier expertise (request lab test reports or trial offers).
No, despite a 20–40% higher initial cost, they offer lower total cost of ownership (TCO) due to:
1、Extended service life (fewer replacements).
2、Reduced maintenance labor and downtime costs.
3、Energy savings (up to 10%) from maintained grinding efficiency.
Yes, advanced ceramic-metal composites balance hardness (for wear resistance) and toughness (for impact resistance). They outperform standard sleeves in:
Cement clinker grinding (high abrasion + thermal stress).
Iron/copper ore processing (high SiO₂ content).
They maintain consistent particle size distribution (PSD) because:
Wear-resistant surfaces retain original geometry longer.
Stable grinding pressure avoids efficiency drops over time.
Higher mill availability boosts annual production capacity.
Minimal maintenance vs. traditional sleeves. Key checks:
Monitor for unusual vibrations (indicates improper installation).
Clean rollers to prevent material buildup.
Inspect for edge chipping (rare; caused by tramp metal).
