Particleboard production is highly demanding on manufacturing equipment due to intense heat, pressure, and abrasive wood particles, leading to significant wear, frequent maintenance, and the need for durable, high-performance machinery.

A critical component in this process is the nose rollers, which guide the steel conveyor belt.
These rollers endure extreme conditions, including:

• High loads due to belt tension on small-diameter bearings
• Elevated temperatures that degrade conventional lubricants
• Aggressive, humid fumes containing vapor and traces of glue

This combination of harsh factors accelerates the wear and failure of standard nose roller bearings, leading to costly production downtimes and frequent maintenance.

In collaboration with industry leaders, CeramicSpeed has developed advanced nose rollers equipped with stainless steel hybrid bearings. These bearings significantly outlast traditional alternatives, offering increased operational efficiency and reduced maintenance costs.
