Alumina Ceramic Metering Pump is a dosing pump whose wet-end (plunger + cylinder) is manufactured from alumina (Al₂O₃) technical ceramic. It delivers precise, repeatable volumes of liquids—from microliters to continuous low flows—especially where fluids are corrosive, abrasive, or purity-critical. The ceramic friction pair is precision-ground with micro-clearance to minimize slip and wear, helping maintain a stable setpoint with low pulsation and low drift over long duty cycles.

 

Alumina Ceramic Metering Pump Advantages

  • Stable micro-dosing: low slip fit and polished contact achieve ±1% accuracy with low pulsation.
  • Corrosion & wear control: alumina on alumina friction pair extends service interval in acid/alkali/oxidant media.
  • Valveless option: simplified wet-end for shear-sensitive or particle-containing fluids.
  • Cleanability: smooth bore and minimal dead volume support CIP/SIP-ready layouts when system hardware permits.
  • Scalable geometry: interchangeable bores and strokes to cover micro- to high-throughput dosing lanes.

Applications for Alumina Ceramic Metering Pumps

  • Fine Chemicals

    ✅Key Advantages

    1. Low-drift micro-dosing: ±1% accuracy under continuous duty reduces correction cycles.
    2. Wear control in abrasives: polished alumina pair limits clearance growth over long runs.
    3. Material purity: low metal ion leach for sensitive formulations and catalysts.

    ✅ Problem Solved

    A speciality additives line required microliter dosing of a mildly abrasive slurry across three shifts. Switching to an alumina plunger-cylinder wet-end stabilized repeatability (CV ≤0.5%) and extended the service interval from weeks to months. Pump count for parallel lanes was reduced after drift was contained, cutting spare consumption and unplanned stops.

  • Environmental  Water Treatment

    ✅Key Advantages

    1. Corrosion tolerance: ceramic pair handles oxidants/coagulants without coating fatigue.
    2. Predictable flow: steady stroke-to-volume ratio simplifies PLC control.
    3. Maintenance spacing: Longer intervals decrease field visits on remote skids.

    ✅ Problem Solved

    A regional WTP skid integrator faced frequent seal wear with oxidant dosing. Ceramic wet-ends kept setpoint variance within ±1% for seasonal viscosity changes. With fewer unplanned swaps, truck rolls per site were reduced and stock planning simplified.

  • F&B / Cosmetics

    ✅Key Advantages

    1. Cleanability: smooth bore, minimal dead volume for fast changeovers.
    2. Shear-aware dosing: valveless option protects shear-sensitive actives.
    3. Consistency: CV ≤0.5% at low volumes supports labelling and regulatory claims.

    ✅ Problem Solved

    A flavour compounding line needed repeatable sub-millilitre shots. Ceramic micro-bore wet-ends achieved the repeatability window without post-fill correction and cut changeover time after sanitation, enabling more SKUs per shift.

Usage Instructions: Alumina Ceramic Metering Pumps

  • Installation

    1. Align the drive to the wet-end using a dowel or face register; verify stroke stop and zero point.
    2. Prime with compatible solvent; purge air from inlet and discharge before closed-loop tuning.
    3. Confirm porting and check valve orientation (if applicable).

  • Operation

    1. Define setpoint windows (flow or weight/time); verify at min/mid/max stroke speeds.
    2. For microflow, use back-pressure stabilization (needle or orifice) to smooth pulsation.
    3. Record baseline accuracy and CV after 30–60 min thermal stabilization.

  • Storage

    1. Flush with neutral solvent; dry or store with corrosion-inert fluid.
    2. Cap ports; keep in a clean, dust-free environment away from thermal shock.

  • Cleaning (CIP/SIP readiness depends on the system)

    1. Use compatible agents; avoid chemistries that attack alumina or polymer seats.
    2. Rinse until conductivity/pH returns to baseline; verify no residue in dead legs.

  • Cautions & Common Misuse

    1. HF/fluoride chemistry used: alumina is not compatible → switch to alternative materials or isolate with liners.
    2. Dry run at high RPM: accelerated wear → prime properly, add dry-run interlock.
    3. Overspeeding viscous media: cavitation/pulsation ↑ → reduce RPM, raise inlet head, add back-pressure.

Alumina Ceramic Metering Pump FAQ

  1. Q: What dosing accuracy can the alumina ceramic metering pump achieve?
    A: Typical target is ±1% steady-state accuracy with CV ≤0.5% in the defined microflow window.
  2. Q: When should I choose a valveless alumina ceramic metering pump?
    A: Use it for shear-sensitive or particle-bearing fluids and to minimize valve maintenance.
  3. Q: What bore and stroke ranges are available?
    A: Bore 2–16 mm and stroke 1–30 mm are typical engineering windows for OEM builds.
  4. Q: Can the alumina ceramic metering pump be used for oxidants and coagulants in water treatment?
    A: Yes, alumina ceramic friction pairs tolerate many oxidants; confirm overall material compatibility.
  5. Q: What surface finish is recommended on the alumina ceramic metering pump?
    A: Ra ≤0.1 μm on the matched pair is common for low slip and wear.
