Smooth, Clog-Free Pumping for Pulp, Slurry, and Coating Fluids - Pulp & Paper
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. 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.
- 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
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.
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.
Why Tesla Disk Pumps Stand Apart
- Non-clogging rotor handles rags, fibrous material, and grit that disable conventional impellers.
- Dry-run and dead-head safe operation prevents catastrophic shutdowns during flow interruptions.
- Shear-free pumping preserves sludge floc structure and prevents emulsification, improving dewatering efficiency.
- Low NPSH requirements make them ideal for lift stations and applications with poor suction conditions.
- Corrosion- and chemical-resistant alloys ensure long pump life in aggressive environments.
- Lower total cost of ownership through extended service intervals and reduced spare part replacement.
Tesla Disk Pumps™ don’t just perform better in theory—they make a measurable difference in the field. By reducing maintenance needs and minimizing downtime, they help operators lower costs and keep production moving. Whether it’s fewer seal failures or improved flow in difficult conditions, these pumps deliver real results in real-world operations
