Magnetically coupled pumps: Great savings in electricity costs and greenhouse gas emissions thanks to ceramic containment shells

• Fine Ceramic Components

Kyocera manufactures the containment shells used in magnetic drive pumps from the ceramic material zirconium oxide FZM. Besides numerous technical advantages, ceramic containment shells enable energy-efficient operation and a consequent reduction in electricity costs and CO2 emissions.

Unlike metallic containment shells, ceramic containment shells are not capable of being magnetized. Eddy currents that reduce performance are prevented and energy efficiency is significantly improved It is therefore possible to reduce the drive power...
