The pneumatic tamping machine is mainly used to realize the compacting and densification process of silicon carbide powder or other refractory materials when forming silicon carbide reaction tanks. Here's how it works:1*Raw material preparation**: First, the silicon carbide powder and the binder are mixed evenly according to a certain proportion to form a plastic or material with a certain fluidity. Other additives may also be added as needed to improve its performance.
2.*Mold assembly**: Put the mixed materials into the pre-designed reaction tank mold. The inner wall of the mold is usually coated with a layer of release agent to facilitate the release of the final product.
3.*Tamping operation**: The pneumatic tamping machine uses the cylinder to drive the piston rod to reciprocate by connecting the compressed air source, and drives the tamping hammer to impact and extrude the material in the mold with high frequency and high strength. This high-frequency vibration and pressure causes the material to be evenly distributed and compacted within the mold, resulting in a crucible inner wall structure with high density and flatness.
4.*Curing and demoulding**: After the tamping material reaches sufficient density, it needs to go through a period of natural curing or heat treatment to fully harden the binder to ensure the strength and stability of the product. Then, open the mold and take out the silicon carbide reaction tank that has been formed and has a certain mechanical strength.
5.*Post-processing**: The initial product after molding may also require further sintering processes to improve the performance of silicon carbide ceramic materials, such as enhancing their high temperature resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and other characteristics. In summary, pneumatic tamping machines play a key role in the manufacture of silicon carbide reactors, helping to achieve high-quality forming of crucibles through precise and efficient ramming.
