New Wear-Resistant Stator Material for Abrasive Media Dosing Applications
ViscoTec Pumpen- u. Dosiertechnik GmbH, represented exclusively in the UK by Capri Systec Limited, has developed a new high-performance stator material designed to improve the reliability and longevity of dosing systems — particularly for handling abrasive and high-viscosity media in hygienic environments.
This innovative elastomer, based on a robust EPDM compound, significantly reduces mechanical wear and extends the lifespan of critical pump components. Ideal for industries such as food production, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and electronics manufacturing, the new stator offers exceptional wear resistance where traditional materials fall short.
Why This Innovation Matters for Fluid Dosing Systems
When dosing or dispensing abrasive substances such as thermal pastes, sealants, and filled compounds, the stator in a volumetric dosing pump is subjected to high levels of mechanical stress. ViscoTec’s answer to this is a new-generation elastomer with:
Outstanding wear resistance, especially in continuous operation with abrasive media
Excellent chemical compatibility, including resistance to aggressive CIP/SIP cleaning agents
Thermal durability, allowing safe contact with steam and hot water
Certifications for hygienic use: FDA compliance, CFR 21.177.2600, and USP Class VI
These features make it a cost-effective, hygienic, and process-reliable solution for automatic production lines and manual dosing stations alike.
Optimised for ViscoTec’s Endless Piston Technology
When paired with ViscoTec’s endless piston principle, the enhanced stator material helps maintain low shear, pulsation-free dispensing, while maximising the efficiency and durability of the system. The result? Reduced maintenance, longer service intervals, and more consistent metering of complex, viscous, or abrasive fluids.
