Reliable Pumping Solutions for Ceramic Manufacturing

The ceramic industry requires pumping systems capable of transferring highly abrasive materials while maintaining stable production quality and minimizing maintenance costs. Ceramic slip, glaze, kaolin, alumina, zircon, clay slurry, silica, and other mineral suspensions place significant demands on pumping equipment due to their high solid content and abrasive characteristics.

OVELL Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pumps (AODD Pumps) are specifically engineered to provide reliable fluid transfer throughout ceramic manufacturing processes. Unlike conventional centrifugal pumps, diaphragm pumps offer superior solids handling capability, self-priming operation, and dry-run protection while significantly reducing wear caused by abrasive slurries.

The seal-less diaphragm design minimizes leakage and protects valuable ceramic materials from contamination while simplifying maintenance. Whether pumping ceramic slip for casting, glaze for finishing, clay slurry for forming, or abrasive mineral suspensions, OVELL pumps deliver consistent flow and dependable performance.

Manufactured from Aluminum, Stainless Steel 316, Polypropylene (PP), and PVDF with PTFE, Santoprene, EPDM, Buna-N, and Viton diaphragm options, OVELL pumps provide outstanding chemical compatibility and durability across a wide range of ceramic production environments.

Their reliable pneumatic operation makes them an ideal solution for ceramic factories, tile production, sanitary ware manufacturing, technical ceramics, refractory materials, and advanced ceramic processing facilities.

Typical Applications of OVELL AODD Pumps in the Ceramic Industry

Ceramic production involves multiple processing stages where abrasive slurries and mineral suspensions must be transferred safely and efficiently. OVELL Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pumps provide reliable pumping solutions across every stage of ceramic manufacturing.
