Barbotine pumping for ceramic industry

Content of this post

In the manufacturing parks of the ceramic coating industry (porcelain, tiles, etc.). The barbotine consists of clay and other raw materials mixed with water. It has creamy consistency, resulting in a fluid ceramic paste. It is produced from a mixture of clays, kaolin, filths, feldspar and quartz; through the grinding process. The barbotine becomes a very abrasive fluid. After the grinding process, the barbotine needs to be pumped.

One of the main complaints of consumers is about body wear and manifolds, as abrasiveness “wears” the curves of manifolds and moist parts of the lids.

At this point the 3 ”Husky 3300 graco Double Diaphragm pumps are efficient and reliable solutions.

The structure of manifolds and covers are more robust, aluminum pumps are 16.7 kg more aluminum compared to competing pumps.

The suggestion for stainless steel and polypropylene pumps are discarded, as abrasiveness wears the polypropylene with greater aggressiveness, and stainless steel contaminates barbotin, causing bubbles on ceramic pieces after burning.
