ZTA Ceramic Linings Dedicated for Toothpaste Jet Mills: Eliminating Cracking and Detachment

 

In the toothpaste production process, the fine grinding of raw materials is a critical step in ensuring product quality. Components such as silicon dioxide contained in toothpaste exhibit high hardness and strong abrasiveness; coupled with the continuous impact inherent to the jet milling process itself, this imposes exceedingly high requirements on the wear and impact resistance of the equipment lining. A well-known toothpaste manufacturing enterprise previously encountered large-scale wear and ceramic detachment within approximately one year of adopting standard ceramic linings, which not only compromised production stability but also escalated maintenance costs and the risk of downtime.
 

 

Consequently, following industry investigations and word-of-mouth verification, the customer ultimately selected Kingcera, seeking a tailored and reliable protective solution for their jet mill equipment.

 

Based on an in-depth analysis of the operating conditions, the technical team at Kingcera recommended utilizing ZTA (Zirconia Toughened Alumina) ceramics as the core protective material. ZTA ceramics integrate the high hardness and high wear resistance of alumina with the exceptional toughness and impact resistance of zirconia, enabling them to effectively withstand the continuous abrasion from high-hardness siliceous components in the toothpaste materials and resist the repeated impacts during jet mill operation, thereby preventing brittle fracture and detachment issues.
 

 

In accordance with the customer’s equipment structure and operating conditions, we provided a customized ceramic adhesion process solution to ensure that the ceramic liners are tightly bonded to the equipment matrix with precise installation, further guaranteeing the stability of long-term operation.

 

This proposed scheme successfully obtained the customer’s approval. Within two months subsequent to the initial collaboration, the customer successively selected the ZTA ceramic protection scheme from Kingcera for four jet mill units. At present, two of these units have completed the upgrade and have been integrated into production, operating stably for six months to date. According to customer feedback, the upgraded equipment linings have not exhibited any instances of wear, ceramic detachment, or cracking; the equipment protection efficacy has been significantly enhanced, and production continuity has been robustly secured.
