Gun Type Silicon Carbide (SiC) Heating Rod

The gun-type silicon carbide heating rod is an electric heating element made from high-purity silicon carbide material, which is formed by pressing and then subjected to 2200°C high-temperature silicification, recrystallization, and sintering. It offers excellent high-temperature resistance and thermal conductivity.

The gun-type silicon carbide rod is an improved version of the U-type silicon carbide rod, with the main feature being an extension of 40-60 mm at the end of the U-type rod, which serves to support the rod body.

It is widely used in the glass bottle manufacturing industry, typically paired with five-section rods (such as rods with double heating elements or similar shapes). The five-section rods are responsible for heating the glass feedway, while the gun-type silicon carbide rods are used to heat the batch furnace, ensuring uniformity and efficiency in the entire heating process.
