Pumps for ceramics and porcelain

For pumping ceramic slurry, air-operated diaphragm pumps are an excellent choice. With the right configuration, they are highly resistant to abrasion, offer simple control options and are self-priming. To keep wear to a minimum, it is recommended to run the pumps at low speed at around 20% to 30% of the maximum flow rate. These pumps are characterised by their robustness and cost-effective purchase.

In addition, air-operated diaphragm pumps allow efficient handling of ceramic slurry, making them a popular choice in the ceramics industry. Their versatility and ability to handle abrasive media make them indispensable tools in production processes where slurry or similar materials need to be pumped.

Peristaltic pumps prove to be highly resistant to abrasion and handling solids. Originally developed for pumping concrete, these pumps have since proven to be the ideal choice for handling tasks such as pumping stone grinding slurry, enamel slurry and other mineral slurries. Their ability to run dry and self-priming are particularly beneficial in such applications, resulting in reliable performance.

In addition to their solids resistance, peristaltic pumps offer ease of use and are versatile. This makes them an important tool in industries such as ceramics and porcelain manufacturing where abrasive slurries need to be pumped. Their robust design and ability to handle demanding media contribute to efficiency and longevity in these applications.
