1.Industry Background: Upgrading Demands of China’s Friction Material Manufacturing
In recent years, the global and China’s friction material industry has accelerated transformation toward precision, intelligence, and green production. As the core processing equipment for brake accessory manufacturing, the friction material intensive mixer undertakes the key mixing process of automotive brake pads, industrial brake linings, and clutch friction parts. According to industry production data, more than 85% of friction material quality defects (unstable friction coefficient, abnormal wear rate, batch performance deviation) stem from insufficient raw material mixing. The mixing quality of this professionalmixer for friction material production directly determines core product indicators including friction coefficient, wear resistance, dimensional stability and overall service life, making it the decisive equipment for high-quality friction material manufacturing.
Most traditional friction material processing factories in core manufacturing areas including Shandong, Zhejiang and Jiangsu are plagued by outdated mixing equipment. Statistical data shows that ordinary industrial mixers usually have a mixing uniformity of only 82%-88%, easily causing uneven material mixing, micro-component segregation, fiber breakage, and large batch-to-batch differences. Traditional processes also bring a dust emission concentration of over 3.2mg/m³ and a product scrap rate of 6%-10%, greatly hindering the production of high-end ceramic brake pads, semi-metallic brake pads and non-asbestos friction materials. In response to industry upgrading demands, the customized friction material intensive mixer has become an essential friction material manufacturing equipment for local enterprises, winning consistent praise from manufacturers across China’s major friction material production bases.
