Ceramic Slurry Pump
We use highly wear-resistant ceramics as raw materials and through a special process, we have successfully increased the lifespan of ceramic slurry pumps by 4-6 times.
Kingda Ceramic Slurry Pump
Kingda ceramic slurry pump wet end parts (impeller, throat bush, frame plate liner insert, volute) are made of silicon-nitride, silicon-carbide composite sintered ceramic material, and the pump casing uses high chromium alloy, which makes Kingda ceramic pump resistant to high temperature, corrosion, wear, and erosion.
Ceramic slurry pump uses silicon-nitride, silicon-carbide composite sintering technology to create ultra-high hardness ceramic pump parts, which are second only to diamond in hardness.
Under the same working conditions, the life of Kingda ceramic pump is more than 4-6 times that of traditional high chromium alloy slurry pump.
The Kingda Ceramic Slurry Pump’s wet-end components are made of ceramic, a material second only to diamond in hardness, offering superior wear and corrosion resistance. It can withstand strong acids and alkalis, making it widely used in mining, metallurgy, and chemical industries.
When handling fine gravel and materials exposed to strong acids and alkalis, the ceramic pump delivers excellent efficiency, maximizing its service life and reducing user operating costs.

Corrosion resistance
Kingda composite sintered ceramics have excellent oxidation resistance and erosion resistance, and can resist corrosion from all strong and weak acids (except hydrofluoric acid), especially sulfuric acid and most molten salts, room temperature halogens and alkalis.
Polymer resin composite ceramics
Erosion resistance
Kingda’s independently developed polymer composite ceramics have excellent erosion resistance and wear resistance
Low cost
Compared with sintered ceramics, polymer composite ceramics are cheaper, which minimizes operating costs
Acid corrosion resistance
Polymer composite ceramics have the advantages of sintered ceramics and have good acid corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance
Firm bonding
The polymer composite ceramic is firmly attached to the metal layer. Under harsh working conditions such as high flow, high speed, and high vibration, the polymer composite ceramic will not fall off, ensuring that the ceramic slurry pump can operate for a long time.
Kingda Ceramic Slurry Pump Case Study
Project Overview
This is an iron ore project located in Kazakhstan, and our ceramic slurry pump is used in the tailings transportation stage after the flotation process.
Before encountering us, the client was using metal slurry pumps from other companies. Because the tailings slurry contained a large amount of quartz and silicate solids with extremely high hardness, it experienced very rapid wear, drastically shortening the pump’s lifespan to only three weeks.
After contacting us, the client urgently expressed their desire to increase wear life to reduce operating costs.
Challenges Faced in Iron Ore Tailings Transport Under Severe Abrasive Conditions
High Wear Rate
According to our engineers’ on-site investigation and the data provided by the client, the solid concentration of the tailings is as high as 51%, and it contains a large amount of quartz with a Mohs hardness of 7.
Short Service Life
Engineers with experience in mining projects understand that quartz and silicate particles have extremely high hardness, and ordinary metals cannot withstand the long-term and high-intensity wear requirements, which leads to a significant reduction in the lifespan of slurry pumps.
Frequent Maintenance
The mine owner also gave an important instruction to reduce the frequency of pump maintenance. Frequent maintenance means a sharp increase in downtime, which will drastically increase operating costs. As we know, the mining industry has very high requirements for continuous operation.
Efficiency Issue
Tailings with a solids concentration as high as 51% can lead to a deterioration in flowability. Even minor local sedimentation can severely affect transport efficiency and increase energy consumption.
Long-distance
Long-distance transportation is also a problem that plagues users. This user’s tailings pipeline is a full 1.2 kilometers long, which places extremely high demands on the stability of the slurry pump and cannot be interrupted.
Engineered Ceramic Pump Solution for High-Wear Tailings Systems
Upon understanding the challenges of this project, our experienced engineers immediately thought of our ceramic slurry pump. Our specially processed ceramic material boasts a Mohs hardness of 9, second only to diamond and far exceeding that of high-chromium alloys, exhibiting exceptional resistance to wear and corrosion.
We selected the Kingda C150TC ceramic slurry pump for our client. This model utilizes our newly developed ceramic material in its wet end parts, which will significantly alleviate the problems and challenges encountered by the user.
