Frequently Asked Questions
Where are ceramic plungers commonly used?
They are used in metering pumps, dosing pumps, filling equipment and precision pumps requiring wear and corrosion resistance.
Can high-precision ceramic fits be achieved?
Yes. The target clearance, surface finish, roundness and matching parts should be reviewed together during design.
Which ceramic is suitable for corrosive fluids?
Alumina and zirconia suit many chemical media, while silicon carbide is preferred for more aggressive or abrasive conditions.
Can ceramics be used in food and pharmaceutical equipment?
Yes, but the material, cleaning process, media compatibility and applicable regulatory requirements must be confirmed.
What information is needed for a fluid control RFQ?
Please provide the media, viscosity, pressure, flow or dosing volume, temperature, dimensions, drawings, tolerances and quantity.
Can custom ceramic pump and valve components be supplied?
Yes. INNOVACERA supports customized plungers, sleeves, valve seats, valve cores, nozzles, orifices and related precision ceramic components.
