Ceramic blades on a metallic hub: that is the solution, how even large impeller diameters can be realized. This has been proven their worth especially in ore processing.

Modern engineering ceramics open up completely new perspectives. Advances in ceramic processing allow the construction of impellers with diameters of 2 m and more. Even complex geometries can be realized. Depending on the size and shape of the impeller, it can be designed as one solid ceramic part, or alternatively ceramic impeller blades are connected to a metallic hub. This composite construction is permissible since wear always occurs in the area of ​​the highest speeds, which is on the outer edge of the impeller.

Why Technical Ceramics?

Technical ceramics offer many benefits compared to metal or rubber coating materials:

• Significantly higher hardness and strength

• Very high chemical resistance

• Very good resistance to thermal shock

• Lighter than corresponding metal components

Your Advantages

All these material properties lead to significant advantages, especially in highly abrasive applications.

• Drastically longer product service life

• Significantly less service intervals

• Massive savings potential in operational costs
