Committed To Quality, Committed To You
Zirconia (ZrO₂) bio-ceramics play an essential role in high-precision industries such as dental implants, orthopedic devices, electronic components, and electric vehicles manufacturing in current advanced manufacturing scenarios. Zirconia has biocompatibility and thermal stability with wear-resistance that makes it suitable for industries demanding reliability and reliability in performance. Some examples of applications are dental implants, orthopaedic devices, electronic components and electric vehicles (EVs). Processing bio-ceramics in powder or slurry form requires an extremely precise and due diligence approach to ensure that final product quality and performance are maintained. That’s where comes the Sivtek Vibro Separator, making for an apt solution for sieving zirconia powder and filtering zirconia slurry.
Zirconia ceramics, commonly classified as bio-ceramics, are known for their high fracture toughness and mechanical strength. They are widely used in Dental crowns and bridges, Bone replacements and hip joints, Fuel cells and EV insulation systems and High-temperature and wear-resistant applications.
Zirconia is often processed or manufactured in powder form or as a water-based slurry depending on what stage of processing it is in. Processing either method requires different processing approaches to allow for modifying separation and filtration.
Processing zirconia bio-ceramics involves several challenges:
Any inconsistency in separation or filtration can result in low-quality end products, product rejection, or even equipment damage downstream.
Zirconia ceramic powder, particularly in the field of medical and high-tech applications, needs precise particle size separation. The Sivtek Vibro Separator has been exceptional in accurately and uniformly sieving ultra-fine zirconia powders.
Using a fine mesh ranging from 20 microns to 100 microns, the Vibro Separator screens zirconia powder with high precision, helping manufacturers meet international quality standards such as ISO 13485 and FDA requirements.
When preparing slurries—used in coating or forming bio-ceramic components—zirconia is being dispersed in a liquid medium. Filtration of zirconia slurry is necessary to remove coarse particulates, impurities, and undispersed solids that may contribute to a smooth application and material consistency.
The Vibro Separator can use ultrasonic mesh cleaning or ball tray assembly and can reasonably handle viscous and high-solid content slurries like zirconia, while maintaining a consistent filtration rate.
Whether you’re dealing with dry zirconia powder or wet ceramic slurry, the Sivtek Vibro Separator provides a dual-capability solution that adapts to both modes of operation with minimal changeover time.
With the growth of bio-ceramic zirconia for applications in high-tech industries comes the ever-increasing need for reliable sieving and filtering solutions. The Sivtek Vibro Separator distinguishes itself as a very versatile and high-performance machine, capable of precise handling of both dry zirconia powder and zirconia ceramic slurries.
Whether you’re looking to enhance your quality control, meet regulatory standards, or scale up production, investing in a Sivtek Vibro Separator is a step toward process reliability, product consistency, and operational efficiency.
