Ceramics - Import export

Ceramic ball bearings are fully resistant to corrosion as both the external and internal races are made of stainless steel, while the inner cage is made of plastic material, which is resistant against high temperatures. Thanks to the low friction of the ceramic balls, the seaming rolls require a reduced lubrication – up to five times less than standards. This saves time for the operators and the machine downtime, allowing increased production.

Spinflanging rolls can be manufactured in steel using AISI D2 tools, in ASP23 and ASP30 sintered steels, with titanium coatings, hard chromium coatings, hard metal or ceramic heads. Imeta also manufactures complete spinflanging heads and complete sets of tools for Cevolani, FMI, Metal Box, LANICO and other spinflanging machines. Should the engineering drawings no longer be available, our Technical Office can provide a “reverseengineering” service for your tools.

Ceramic seaming rolls can increase production efficiencies and reduce machine downtimes by eliminating or significantly reducing many problems deriving from wear, corrosion and superficial damage. There is a low friction coefficient and they are approved by the USFDA.
