plunger ceramic pump is a type of positive-displacement pump where the plunger is made from wear-resistant ceramic (alumina or zirconia), offering high precision and durability.

icro Ceramic Pumps equipped with plunger ceramic components are gaining widespread popularity in modern precision dosing systems. Their compact structure, chemical stability, and extended lifespan make them ideal for high-accuracy fluid control across pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and laboratory applications.

​In pharmaceutical aseptic production, proper cleaning and sterilization of a ceramic filling pump is critical for maintaining hygiene, product quality, and GMP compliance. The key processes used are Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilize-in-Place (SIP), which eliminate residues and microorganisms from internal pump surfaces—especially from the ceramic piston pump components such as the ceramic plunger and pump sleeve.

eramic filling pumps are piston-type metering pumps widely used in aseptic filling equipment. A typical structure includes a ceramic plunger (piston rod), a ceramic pump chamber (cylinder sleeve), rotary or check valves for liquid control, and complementary stainless-steel components (usually 316L). During operation, the ceramic plunger reciprocates inside the pump chamber, drawing and dispensing fluids through precision valves to ensure accurate liquid filling.

Many users of Alumina Ceramics have observed that after prolonged exposure to sunlight, some components begin to show visible discoloration—often a yellowish or dull hue on the surface. While this change does not impair performance, it raises concerns about the long-term stability and appearance of the material.

Aluminum Nitride Ceramics (AlN ceramics) are widely used in high-performance applications due to their excellent thermal conductivity, electrical insulation, and high-temperature resistance. However, some users may notice slight color differences among different batches of AlN ceramics—such as light gray, off-white, or pale yellow shades. These variations are normal and do not affect the material's performance.

At the start of 2025, KYOCERA Fineceramics Europe GmbH announced the establishment of a new facility in Erfurt, Germany, enhancing its existing multi-wire saw technology capabilities and production infrastructure.

On December 23, media outlets such as The Economic Times reported that Silectric Semiconductor, a subsidiary of Zoho Corporation, will establish Karnataka's first semiconductor manufacturing plant in India, dedicated to integrated production of silicon carbide.

Recently, Kyocera announced the development of a new silicon nitride ceramic material for functional testing of next-generation microchips. This new material boasts enhanced thermal expansion properties and flexural strength, enabling the production of thin silicon nitride plates with extremely narrow spacing between contact probes, which is critical for testing next-generation microchips.

Recently, KYOCERA held a groundbreaking ceremony for its fine ceramics factory for medical implants, located in Waiblingen, near Stuttgart, Germany. This facility will specialize in manufacturing high-quality ceramic heads used in hip prostheses and other implant applications. The project is expected to be completed by September next year.

Recently, Alpha HPA, an Australian company, has commenced construction on the second phase of the world’s largest single-location ultra-high-purity alumina refinery.

According to data from QY Research, the global market size for silicon carbide (SiC) ceramics used in semiconductors was $1.111 billion in 2023. Driven by the rigid demand from downstream industries, it is projected that the silicon carbide ceramics market will grow to $1.578 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.09% from 2024 to 2030.
