Global Ceramics Leader Resolves Abrasive Slip Issues with Cognito EODD Pumps

The Problem

The ceramic industry has one common challenge: managing highly viscous and abrasive materials as integral parts of the manufacturing process.

One of the leading global ceramic clients encountered difficulties in locating a pump that could handle their extremely abrasive slips. They used conventional AODD pumps which failed to deliver sufficient pressure to maintain a consistent slurry flow, resulting in frequent downtime due to diaphragm wear and tear/air valve damages. This downtime caused the slurry to solidify within the pipeline, leading to blockages and increased pipeline maintenance. 

With the AODD pump operating for 20 - 22 hours a day, they experienced considerable energy consumption. They were looking for smart and sustainable pumps capable of providing energy savings, reducing downtime, and improving product efficiency.
