Industry Challenges

Solved

The ceramics industry faces unique challenges that can significantly impact production efficiency and product quality — and Cognito EODD pumps are equipped to solve them.

Higher Energy Consumption

Running hours in ceramic production are extensive, and traditional pneumatic pumps often consume excessive energy. Our pumps are highly energy-efficient, reducing overall operational costs.

Frequent Wear and Tear

The abrasive nature of ceramic slurries leads to frequent wear and tear in conventional pump technologies. Cognito pumps incorporate hardened stainless steel valve seats and ball cages, significantly reducing abrasion and extending the pump’s lifespan.

Leakage

Abrasive liquids can quickly wear out seals, leading to frequent leakages. Our pumps are designed with robust sealing mechanisms that withstand the harsh properties of ceramic slurries, minimizing this risk.

Pinholes in End-Products

Air entrapment during suction and discharge due to seal failure and high pulsations can cause pinholes. Cognito’s gentle pumping action reduces air bubbles to achieve high-quality, defect-free products.

Higher Operational Costs

High energy consumption and frequent maintenance requirements increase operational costs. Our pumps offer low maintenance and efficient energy usage, which delivers enhanced profitability.

Product Defects

Fluid shearing, cavitation, and air entrapment due to seal failures along with high pulsation can cause product defects. Cognito’s gentle pumping action, sealless design, and incorporated pulsation dampener deliver high-quality, defect-free products.

Why Choose EODD Pumps for Ceramics?

Our pumps are engineered to handle viscous, abrasive fluids like ceramic slip efficiently. Here’s why they are the best choice for the ceramics industry:

  • Higher Energy Efficiency: Reduces energy consumption and operational costs, ensuring a rapid ROI.
  • Shear Sensitive: Gentle pumping action will not alter sensitive fluids, increasing product quality.
  • Self-Priming: Ideal for higher negative suction or low NPSHa.
  • High Flow Rate: Delivers excellent flow rates and consistent pressures to 8 Bar (116 psi).
  • Low Maintenance Cost: Simplified designs allow for inline serviceability, delivering reduced downtime and expenses.
  • Designed for Solids and Abrasives: Engineered to pump abrasive slurries without damage.

“The IDEX Cognito EODD pump and the innovative engineering by their team helped us maintain line pressure at set value throughout the process. The pressure-speed control system deployed by the team solved multiple issues for us by bringing down higher energy consumption and eliminating critical parts damage.”
International Sanitaryware Company
“Starting the pump when it trips at the end of the batch after the pressure spike shooting above the design limit was a major challenge for us. The IDEX Cognito pump helped us eliminate this and many other issues from our production process, and proved to be a boon for our organization. The pump has had a huge impact on our processes.”
