Ceramic Components for Industry Pumps
During fluid transport in industrial and hygienic environment both the pump unit as well as handling components, such as pipes and valves can also be exposed to high stress and are therefore subject to wear and corrosion.
Advanced Ceramics instead of Metal or Plastic
Due to their specific properties such as hardness, toughness, chemical or temperature resistance, depending on the application, ceramic solutions can significantly contribute to reducing or even neutralizing wear effects.
Thus, compared to other materials such as metal or plastic, ceramics opens up enormous performance potentials and can help achieving application specific competitive advantages based on comprehensive material expertise and application know-how.
Ceramic Solutions for Better Industry Pumps
In demanding industry environment, advanced ceramic solutions from CeramTec set standards for process reliability and performance. We have developed gliding, bearing, sealing and control technology with high performance ceramics – with outstanding tribological, chemical and physical properties. This allows highly strained components in pumps, valves, machines and systems to run reliably, with high economic efficiency and low wear, even under extreme operating conditions.
For each application and each requirements profile – from micro-dosing pumps in medical technology to large power plant pumps – together with you we develop individual solutions based on optimum selection and material setup as well as customized component design.
Ceramics as a sustainable lead-free option
According to The Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 2002/95/EC (ROHS) using the lead-containing metals (like brass, lead-based bearing alloys,lead-tin alloys, etc.) is to be limited.
Ceramics, as non-lead high performance material is a perfect alternative for many applications, where amount of lead needs to be reduced.
