Ceramic Plunger
Ceramic pump components include plungers, bushings, and mechanical and chemical sealing rings that excel in abrasion-resistant, high-temperature, chemical, and metering applications.
The main materials are ultra-pure alumina, zirconia, silicon nitride, silicon carbide. Compared with metal plunger, ceramic plunger solves the problems of corrosion resistance, poor abrasion resistance and short service life, and its abrasion resistance can be more than 5-10 times that of the metal plunger. Moreover, the corrosion resistance of ceramic solves the problem of corrosion of the plunger, which extends the service life of the plunger greatly, so that the plunger pump can ensure the normal operation in any harsh working environment.

Step 1
Product Features
Ultra-high hardness and wear resistance
Ceramic material hardness usually reaches Hv 1200-1600, much higher than metal (e.g., stainless steel hardness is about Hv 200-300), which can withstand the scouring of granular media for a long time, and is suitable for high wear scenarios (e.g., mud pumps, mining machinery).
Corrosion resistance
Strong resistance to strong acids (such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid), strong alkalis, organic solvents and high-temperature vapors, avoiding the common rust and corrosion problems of metal plungers, suitable for chemical and electroplating industries.
High Temperature Stability
Zirconia ceramics can maintain performance at 1000°C, while metal plungers tend to soften and deform at high temperatures, making them suitable for high-temperature hydraulic systems or heat treatment equipment.
Electrical insulation and antimagnetization
Insulation (volume resistivity > 10¹² Ω-cm) Suitable for the electronics industry or scenarios where electromagnetic interference needs to be avoided (e.g. semiconductor manufacturing equipment).

Application Field
Medical Plunger
The medical industry conducts experiments and clinics that require suction, sampling, and cleaning of different liquids, which requires medical components to meet medical requirements, usage requirements, and environmental protection requirements. Fine ceramic materials are carefully selected to meet these requirements. The plungers are precision ground and polished to achieve millimeter-level flow control.
Applications in beverage and food equipment
Ceramic plunger is widely used in food and beverage equipment industry due to its advantages of corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, high fit precision, good sealing, etc.; loongceram is recognized by foreign customers for its higher quality standards and has been steadily serving foreign brand customers for many years;
HiApplication of ceramic plungers in the chemical industry
In the chemical industry, ceramic plungers are ideal for solving bottlenecks in the performance of critical equipment (mainly pumps) under harsh operating conditions due to their excellent physical and chemical properties. Core Applications: Ceramic plungers are mainly used in high pressure, corrosion resistant, high precision piston pumps.
Step 3
Precision Manufacturing
Through loongceram professional and continuous manufacturing methods, the performance of ceramic plunger is particularly suitable for wear and tear more demanding occasions, high precision, sealing and reliable long service life and other characteristics, in the face of high wear and tear, “strong corrosion, high temperature, high pressure and other harsh working conditions can still work smoothly!
