▼ Introduction of Ceramic Plungers
Ceramic plungers perform very well in wear-resistance, high temperature, saltwater, chemical, and metering applications. At UNIPRETEC, we provides ceramic materials including such Alumina (Al2O3), Zirconia (ZrO2), and Silicon Nitride(Si3N4), which enable for a minimum Ra 0.05um surface polish, thereby improving packing life. Following are the typical features of technical ceramics as plungers:
√ Never Rust
|
√ Long Service Life
|
√ Chemical Inertness
|
√ Low Thermal Expansion
|
√ High Working Temperature
|
√ High Hardness (Mohs 8.0-9.0)
|
UNIPRETEC can provide ceramic plungers made from high purity alumina and zirconia in solid ceramic or in combination of metal, such as stainless steel 316L or 304L, depending on the customer's specifications. We can bond the advanced ceramic body to the stainless steel adapter for very dependable performance and extended field life. Ceramic plungers developed by UNIPRETEC are available in both solid and hollow ceramic shapes. Ceramic plungers are unique in their performance when corrosion and abrasion resistance as well as longer packing life are required.
