Plunger

Plunger

Plungers are critical components in high-pressure pumping systems used for metering, dosing, and slurry handling. In industries where abrasive or corrosive fluids are pumped continuously, conventional steel plungers often fail due to wear, galling, and chemical attack.

CeramForge provides a durable and high-precision alternative: ceramic plungers. Manufactured from advanced technical ceramics, these plungers exhibit excellent wear resistance, chemical inertness, and dimensional stability under pressure and temperature fluctuations.
