PERFORMANCE
MISSION
To perform every day, our engineering team uses the most up to date engineering systems available in the market (DAO, FAO, PLM, ERP). With these tools, we propose reliable solutions for both our internal and external customers.
To maintain a high quality of design, our engineers and draughtsmen follow a programme of Continuous Professional Development with ongoing training. New rules and regulations are continuously studied (3A, EHEDG) to maintain up to date designs. We also follow the latest progress in machining technology and take this into account to achieve better engineering solutions.
Located in two sites our engineering team is multi-cultural. It creates a competitive advantage by open mindedly sharing knowledge and experiences.

RELIABLE PLUG & PLAY SOLUTIONS
The definition of the design is made in close collaboration with our customers. It can be as simple as the minor customisation of an existing pump, a revamping or a full project starting from a blank sheet. This is why the most important characteristics of our team are innovation, a creative mind and rigor. (Neoceram filed 2 patents in the last 3 years). With daily technical discussions the Neoceram R&D team work with the client to reach the best possible solution.
MANUFACTURING SUPPORT
The R&D team actually manages the machining of the prototypes. With the manufacturing team, it defines the best procedures to optimise quality and cost. It defines also the industrialisation steps necessary to obtain the best delivery time and market price.
AFTER SALES
Our multilingual after sales team helps our customers deal with trouble shooting, provision of spare parts and repairs. The team aims for a fast and customised answer to any question the customer may have.
We create top-performing precision instruments from powder to product, from project to solution.

Built on our deep expertise in ceramics and engineering, these patented solutions ensure that every application meets the highest standards of reliability, sterilizability, and performance — helping our customers move to the next level of operational excellence.
NAKED ®
BENEFITS
- Built-in ceramic connections
- No product metal contact
- Lighter than stainless steel version
- One material in contact with the product
- Improved cleanability
- Compact and solid design
- Faster cooling
- FDA and 80/500/EEC compliant
- Fully compatible with existing machines
- Covering all liquid forms and pH range
- Ideal for CIP/SIP
Our patented monolithic ceramic dosing pumps are machined from a single block of ceramic with no coatings and just one product-contact material. The Naked® line features built-in inlet/outlet and a compact, solid design that protects hose connections within the ceramic body.
With a seal-less construction and reduced number of components, it ensures easier maintenance, minimized risk, and seamless integration into your existing machines. Cylinders and pistons are entirely ceramic, while connection parts use stainless steel and PEEK where needed — ideal for pharmaceutical environments requiring precision and sterility.
NAKED ® / EASY FITTING ® / SINGLE USE ®
EASY FITTING ®
BENEFITS
- Minimized operator intervention – reducing contamination risk and setup time
- Holistic approach – from RTP to the filling station
- Ergonomic gripper – seamless installation of filling systems and components
- No direct/indirect contact with product-critical parts
Neoceram Easy Fitting® is a breakthrough solution for the quick installation and removal of dosing pumps in production lines and laboratory filling machines.
Designed to reduce aseptic risks and optimize efficiency, it minimizes operator intervention, shortens setup time, and ensures no direct or indirect contact with product-critical parts. Its ergonomic gripper and holistic approach from RTP to the filling station streamline maintenance and cleaning.
Easy Fitting® also supports compliance with the 2022 EU GMP Annex 1, which highlights the need for aseptic connections and reduced manual interventions in Grade A environments.
NAKED ® / EASY FITTING ® / SINGLE USE ®
SINGLE USE ®
BENEFITS
Combines single-use convenience with ceramic pump performance
Designed for sterile environments and isolators
Supports volume ranges from 0.8 to 8 ml
Flexible installation: stand-alone, integrated, or EOM
Compliant with CFR21P11 and batch reporting requirements
Ideal for biologics, cell and gene therapy applications
Enables rapid product development and filling of complex products
Reduces contamination risk with disposable components
Neoceram introduces the Precyx® Single Use Filling Unit, a high-performing solution that combines the convenience of single-use technology with the stable, accurate, and reliable performance of a ceramic pump.
Designed for sterile environments and compatible with isolators, Precyx® is available as a complete filling kit, including a single-use ceramic pump and an active distribution device. It can be installed as a stand-alone machine, integrated into existing systems, or connected to existing motors (EOM).
Precyx® addresses the growing demand for flexibility and speed in the pharmaceutical industry, driven by the rise of biologics, cell and gene therapies, and the need for rapid R&D and product development. It meets key market requirements by enabling the quick filling of complex products and supporting fast innovation cycles.

PHARMALOX ®
Pharmalox® is a high purity alumina ceramic (>99.7% Al2O3) specially designed for our products.
The high purity of this material results in very clean grain boundaries which contribute to its excellent corrosion resistance in the presence of both acid and alkali-based cleaning solutions e.g. NaOH and HCl.
Pharmalox® is inert, non-cytotoxic and does not release particles. It is easy to clean due to the low porosity. It has high wear resistance, a low friction coefficient and accepts very smooth surface finishes.
Pharmalox® complies with directive 80/500/EEC amended and FDA regulation
PHARMALOX ® / PHARMAZIRIC ® /
THERMAZYL ® / X-CHANGE ®
PHARMAZIRIC ®
Pharmazirc® is a Yttria partially-stabilized zirconia ceramic specially designed for our products.
Its carefully controlled chemistry and microstructure imparts excellent resistance to corrosion by both acid and alkali cleaning solutions and to the hydro-thermal destabilization that happens with other zirconia ceramics during steam sterilization.
This material is also non-cytotoxic and does not release particles. It is easy to clean due to the low porosity. It has high wear resistance, a low friction coefficient and accepts highly smooth surface finishing as a result of its very fine grain size and low porosity.
Pharmazirc® complies with Directive 80/500/EEC amended and FDA regulation
PHARMALOX ® / PHARMAZIRIC ® /
THERMAZYL ® / X-CHANGE ®
THERMAZYL ®
Thermazyl® is a zirconia toughened alumina ceramic specially designed for our products.
Its carefully controlled chemistry and microstructure imparts excellent resistance to corrosion by both acid and alkali cleaning solutions and to the hydro-thermal destabilization that happens with zirconia ceramics during steam sterilization. This material has been especially designed for application requiring good thermal shock resistance.
This material is also non-cytotoxic and does not release particles. It is easy to clean due to the low porosity. It has high wear resistance, a low friction coefficient and accepts highly smooth surface finishing as a result of its very fine grain size and low porosity.
Thermazyl® is X-Ray detectable (smallest detectable size as low as 0,8 mm) and complies with Directive 80/500/EEC amended and FDA regulation
PHARMALOX ® / PHARMAZIRIC ® / THERMAZYL ® / X-CHANGE ®
X-CHANGE ®
Neoceram Pumps: Fully Interchangeable Male Components
The X-change® system ensures dimensional precision in machining pistons, valves, and cylinders, making male components fully interchangeable—not just within the same batch, but also across batches with identical clearance.
With 20+ years in the pharmaceutical industry, Neoceram identified matching errors as a major cause of leakage, seizing, and pump jamming.
With X-change®, pistons and cylinders are exactly the same size, eliminating seizing risks. If a piston breaks, a single spare fits all cylinders, reducing stock and costs
BENEFITS
- Interchangeability
- Precision dosing
- Reduced spares stock
- Fast problem solving
- Cost saving
