As a key equipment widely used in the field of filtration, the performance of the Silicone colander is directly related to the filtration effect and service life. When making a silicone colander, increasing hardness and mechanical strength are crucial steps.
1. Choose high-quality silicone materials:
The production of silica gel colander begins with the selection of raw materials. Choosing a high-quality silicone material is the first step to increase hardness and mechanical strength. Ensure that the silicone material used meets industrial standards and has excellent physical and chemical properties to ensure the stability and durability of the final product.
2. Optimize the silicone formula:
The hardness and mechanical strength of silicone are closely related to its formulation. During the production process, by optimizing the formula of silica gel, the proportions of various ingredients can be adjusted to increase the hardness of silica gel. Adding appropriate amounts of reinforcing agents and fillers, such as glass fiber, wollastonite, etc., can help increase the mechanical strength of silicone.
3. Precise mixing and stirring process:
In the manufacture of silica gel colanders, the mixing and stirring process is critical to the performance of the final product. Make sure to mix evenly and avoid any dead spots to ensure even distribution of the ingredients in the silicone.
4. Use appropriate hardener:
During the production of silica gel, a hardener needs to be added to promote the cross-linking reaction of silica gel molecules and form a tighter network structure. Selecting an appropriate hardener and adjusting the amount of hardener according to specific production requirements can effectively improve the hardness and mechanical strength of the Silicone colander.
5. Precision molding process:
Molding is a key step in the production of silicone colander. A precise molding process is used to ensure that the silicone is uniformly pressurized and temperature controlled in the mold to ensure the dimensional accuracy and surface smoothness of the silicone filter pot.
6. Moderate curing treatment:
The curing process is an integral step in making silicone colanders. Through moderate curing treatment, the firmness of the internal structure of silicone can be ensured. Curing time and temperature need to be adjusted according to the specific situation to achieve optimal hardness and mechanical strength.
7. Surface treatment to improve wear resistance:
In addition to the improvement of internal hardness and mechanical strength, the wear resistance of the silicone filter pot can also be further improved through surface treatment. Adding a certain amount of anti-wear agent or performing special surface treatment can effectively extend the service life of the Silicone colander.
