Smooth, Clog-Free Pumping for Pulp, Slurry, and Coating Fluids
From recycled fiber and kaolin slurry to chemical additives and wastewater, Tesla Disk Pumps™ are built to reduce downtime, preserve flow integrity, and fit tight industrial layouts.
Handling Slurry, Fiber, and Coating Fluids Without Clogging or Shear
Tesla’s vertical and inline options fit tight industrial layouts while preserving flow quality. Perfect for coating processes, reclaim systems, and chemical treatment steps in paper manufacturing.
Common Fluids in Pulp & Paper Applications:
- Recycled fiber slurry and deinked stock
- Kaolin and titanium dioxide coating mixtures
- Starch, retention aids, and wet-end chemicals
- Graywater and wastewater with suspended solids
- Sludge, scale, and reclaimed process water
Industry Challenges — and How Tesla Disk Pumps Solve Them
In pulp and paper production, pumping systems face a unique mix of mechanical, chemical, and space-related challenges. From long fiber strands and abrasive coatings to limited floor space in aging facilities, Tesla Disk Pumps™ are engineered to deliver dependable performance where impeller pumps fall short.
Space-constrained facilities
Paper mills often have compact layouts with limited room for pump installations. Tesla Disk Pumps offer vertical and inline configurations that fit seamlessly into tight footprints without sacrificing performance.
Abrasive and fibrous slurries
Pulp and reclaim systems contain fibers, fillers, and grit that quickly wear down traditional impeller pumps. The Tesla Disk Pump’s non-impeller rotor reduces erosion and clogging, extending pump life and reliability.
Consistent flow for coating
Paper coating processes demand uniform, pulsation-free delivery of starches, pigments, and additives. Disk pumps provide smooth laminar flow that ensures consistent coating application and product quality.
Chemical treatment compatibility
Bleaching, sizing, and water treatment require handling harsh chemicals. Tesla Disk Pumps are available in corrosion-resistant alloys to withstand caustics, acids, and oxidizers.
Application Highlights Across Food and Beverage Processing
From the drill site to the refinery, Tesla Disk Pumps™ support critical oil and gas processes at every stage. Whether it’s moving thick slurries, protecting delicate catalysts, or handling gas-laden streams, our pumps are built to perform—no matter where they’re installed.
| Application Area | Benefits | How Tesla Pumps Excel |
|---|---|---|
| Coating Processes | Consistent, uniform flow for coating solutions | Laminar, pulse-free delivery enhances product quality |
| Reclaim Systems | Reliable handling of fibrous and abrasive slurries | Non-clogging rotor passes fibers and grit without wear |
| Bleaching & Chemical Treatment | Withstand caustics and oxidizers | Corrosion-resistant materials extend service life |
| Water & Effluent Handling | Manage solids-laden treatment streams | Dead-head and dry-run safe for variable flows |
| Inline/Vertical Installs | Save space in crowded plant environments | Compact designs fit where conventional pumps cannot |
