The Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials (IWM) in Freiburg, Germany, in collaboration with the seal manufacturer F. Burgmann and the ceramics company Elektro schmelzwerk Kempton, has been working on further development of ceramic floating-ring seals. Ceramic seals are ideal for pumps which handle aggressive fluids or sewage. IWM researchers have developed anti-wear tests and processes by which to improve their performance and resilience.
