Innovacera® Valveless ceramic metering piston pumps For H2O2

Innovacera provides advanced ceramic solutions for fluid dispensing and filling in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries. Our ceramic filling pumps types are valveless ceramic metering piston pumps and valve ceramic piston pump.

In pharmaceutical and medical applications, vaporized hydrogen peroxide is a low-temperature sterilization method used to decontaminate everything from components and instruments to entire laboratories, clean rooms, and hospital operating rooms.

Valveless ceramic metering piston pumps only have a ceramic piston moving part contacting with the fluid. The ceramic piston is made by alumina ceramic or zirconia ceramic which have chemically inert, wear-resistant, and dimensionally stable. IT accomplishes both the pumping and valving functions resulting in a unique design that eliminates all check valves. It also provides maintenance-free operation for millions of cycles, at a precision of 0.5% or better without the need for recalibration.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is used in many foods, pharmaceuticals, and medical applications as an effective sterilizing agent. Dispensing of H2O2 is critical to container sealing during the aseptic packaging process for a variety of food products.

According to the above advantages, Innovacera Valveless ceramic metering piston pumps are suitable for OEM sterilization equipment and it is widely used for hydrogen peroxide metering.


The Ideal Material of Thermal Management – Aluminum Nitride Ceramic Components

Aluminum Nitride Ceramic (AlN) is an ideal material widely used in situations that demand both high thermal conductivity and electrical insulation. This unique ability makes AIN ideal for managing rapid heating and removal of heat from other components and systems, such as in heat sinks, heat exchanger and spreaders.

In addition, its low coefficient of thermal expansion, which is similar to silicon material, means AIN is a trusted substance for use in semiconductor products. The material remains highly stable through a wide range of temperatures.

Revolutionary In Heater Ignition

Two main materials are used for manufacturing of alumina ceramic heater in mainstream market: Metal or Ceramic.

High thermal conductivity and excellent insulation makes ceramic more advantage in new revolution of heater ignition. The ceramic made heating material is more efficient as compared to metal because of being sturdier and less corrosive.

The advanced ceramic materials used in igniters are absolutely the best for lighting pellet and biomass burners. They use widely used as a heating element in hot air fans, kerosene fans and ignition blowers and will light all fuel types. Ideal for wood pellets, chips, straw, coal, coke etc.

The obvious advantages:
1) Higher temperature, about twice of traditional metal sheathed heater;
2) Shorter ignition time, about 60~90 seconds
3) Electrically insulated with no exposed electric contacts
4) Wear and corrosion resistance
5) Long life time
6) Easy to install and replace

Boron Nitride Isolation Components For PVD CVD Magnetron Sputtering Systems

Boron Nitride Isolation Components For PVD CVD Magnetron Sputtering Systems

Boron Nitride is a high temperature, lubricious ceramic. It offers excellent electrical resistance, chemical stability, and wet ability.

Boron nitride shapes and ceramic components are critical components in applications where excellent thermal shock resistance, high electrical resistivity, and chemical and corrosion resistance are required.

Physical vapor deposition refers to the extensive range of vacuum-based thin-film coating methods employed for surface engineering of a variety of materials. Employing one of the several methods to generate and deposit target material onto a substrate surface, including sputter deposition, PVD Coating methods are commonly used in the construction of optoelectronic devices, precision components for automotive and aerospace, and more.

Sputtering is a unique process where particles are forcefully ejected from a target material by sustained plasma bombardment. Boron nitride ceramics are broadly used to constrain plasma arcs in sputtering chambers onto the target material and prevent erosion of integral components in the process chamber.

BN ceramic components such as insulating shrouds and rails, target frames, protective tubes, shields, and liners as well as insulators ensure that the PVD arc remains constrained towards the target, preventing equipment damage.

Innovacera 99% BN is commonly used as an alternative for Pyrolytic Boron Nitride in these applications.


Innovacera is a leading metallized ceramics suppliers

metallized ceramics suppliers

Innovacera is a leading metallized ceramics suppliers.
The metallized ceramic is using in critical assemblies brazed.

Metallization applies a thin metallic coating to an area of a substrate or other shape components. Innovacera’s metallized ceramics have superior brazing characteristics, The unique formulation developed and produced in house enables a stronger, more robust bond in the final assembly. After metallization, a thin metal coating is applied to the metallized layer either using traditional plating methods or by hand using a Nickel Oxide based coating to improves its wettability. The metallization and nickel thickness is always measured using XRF technology to ensure it meets the specifications.

In addition to preparing the ceramic parts for brazing, metallization is useful for a number of other applications such as providing a base layer for other coatings. As experts in a variety of application methods, Innovacera is capable of metallizing on flat, cylindrical, and complex ceramic bodies from prototype through production quantities. Innovacera can provide turn-key service or work with customer supplied material.
