Conversion Coating Rolling Drum Countering Block For Cigarette Making Machine Mark 8 Tipper Side

Blackened Rolling Block is a casting part of filter assembly machine, placed next to the rolling drum, functioning together to roll the tipping paper and connect the filter and the cigarette.

Hot Blackening

Hot blackening involves dipping the part into various tanks. The work piece is usually "dipped" by automated part carriers for transportation between tanks. These tanks contain, in order, alkaline cleaner, water, caustic soda at 140.5 °C (284.9 °F) (the blackening compound), and finally the sealant, which is usually oil. The caustic soda bonds chemically to the surface of the metal, creating a porous base layer on the part. Oil is then applied to the heated part, which seals it by "sinking" into the applied porous layer. It is the oil that prevents the corrosion of the workpiece.

Machines Applicable

We provide Blackened Rolling Block for basically all types of filter assembly machines including Max3 Max5 MaxS, etc.

The Blackened Rolling Block shown in photos is for MK8D.

Hot Black Oxide

Hot baths of sodium hydroxide, nitrates, and nitrites at 141 °C (286 °F) are used to convert the surface of the material into magnetite (Fe3O4). Water must be periodically added to the bath, with proper controls to prevent a steam explosion.
