Ceramics in the food and pharmaceutical industry

When it comes to producing and packing food or medicines with low-maintenance and reliable operations, productivity and output require materials that stand up to wear and offer good dimensional stability and sliding properties while also withstanding cleaning and sterilisation without damage. Kyocera ceramics provide various solutions for these requirements, improving existing processes.

Using ceramic components significantly extends system maintenance intervals for filling operations involving abrasive products. Thanks to its high temperature and corrosion resistance, ceramic is ideally suited to cleaning and sterilisation with hot steam and chemicals. Our ceramics are FDA, and USP VI-certified so that they can be used in these critical areas.

High surface quality and precision fits are achieved thanks to our extensive and detailed production expertise. Kyocera has standardised bonding techniques for metal-ceramic composite components, such as gluing, shrinking and soldering.
