1,200 degree F - FDA - Wear Rail
1,200 degree F - FDA - Wear Rail
(OP)
Good Morning,
I have an FDA application. A heater element that reaches 1,600 deg f. located 4" above the a 303/304 Stainless Steel belt. I need a wear rail for the belt that won't melt. We are leaning toward a non-metalic component so we dont get micro-particles from metal on metal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

It would be handy to know what temperatures you would expect the part to attain.

I assumed 1,200 f as the elements are generating 1,500 to 1,600 f at 4" away.

Looks like you will need a ceramic "wear rail", but it probably won't wear.

My comment was steered more towards MB's query about FDA-approved ceramics, though whether those approved ceramics also handle that high of a heat is beyond my knowledge base.

This example is resistant to heat lower than what you are looking for but it's a start....
