Graphite powder and other raw materials in the powder hopper enter the metering mechanism under the influence of gravity or mechanical force. The conveying mechanism then transports the measured powder from the hopper into the forming die. Once in the forming die, the powder is compacted by the forming mechanism to form the carbon brush into its desired shape and density.
