Food and beverage industries have successfully used carbon graphite materials for many years in all types of applications.

Self-lubricating carbon graphite bearings are very common across a number of industries. When it comes to industrial applications, everyone from manufacturing facilities to power plants can have better bearing performance—as well as increased cost savings—when they implement carbon graphite bearings in their designs.

Large-scale food production often requires the use of highly engineered conveyors with many specialized components, particularly when heat is involved in the production process.

In Part I of this blog series, we discussed the initial steps of mechanical carbon graphite production, starting with the mixing of raw powders. That post outlines the processing steps that are required to produce plain carbon graphite. Part II addresses the various post-processing steps that can be applied to plain carbon graphite after baking.

Carbon graphite has a unique set of physical properties that allows it to be used in environments where traditional lubricants and other self-lubricating materials will fail.
