Key
Reasons to Choose Simsite®
 INCREASE
OPERATING
LIFE TIME -- Simsite® structural
composites outlast traditional metallics by years. The light weight and durability of the composite makes
it an easy decision to upgrade rotating equipment with Simsite®.
Operators
in every industry are being asked by Management to get more
out of their systems. Upgrading their equipment with Simsite®
is a cost-effective method of improving reliability,
efficiency, and service life.
CORROSION
RESISTANT --
One of the most important advantages Simsite®
has over metal is its resistance to corrosion and erosion in
salt water. IT is also excellent with most chemical
applications and is not subject to damage by gasoline, oil or
refinery by-products.
 ELIMINATES
ELECTROLYSIS -- Simsite®
is an inert composite which does
not conduct electrolysis. Prolonged exposure to salt water
will not affect Simsite®
parts. The
more inert products (Simsite® structural composites or
Simsite® coatings) you put inside your pump the lower
the level of electrolysis.
LIGHT
WEIGHT -- Simsite® is
much lighter than metallic materials – compared with bronze,
Simsite’s weight is only one sixth! The lighter mass means a substantial reduction in
start-up load, shaft movement and shaft deflection, resulting
in a much longer life for the bearings, mechanical seals,
casing and wear rings, and sleeves.
HIGH
EFFICIENCY DESIGN -- All Simsite® Impellers
and parts are 100% precision machined, which increases
accuracy and efficiency. Impeller vane shapes are contoured for maximum
performance and efficiency.
 EXCEPTIONAL
MECHANICAL STRENGTH -- The
extraordinary high strength of Simsite® enables
the composite to replace metal impellers and pump parts which
are subject to corrosion, erosion, electrolysis and cavitation.
TIGHTER
SEALS -- Simsite® Casing
Rings and Wear Rings will not gall or seize like metal rings.
Therefore, Simsite® Rings
can operate with tighter clearances permitting less leakage
through the rings and increasing pump efficiency. Additionally,
Simsite® Casing
Rings seal against the pump casing preventing the “wash out”
of the casing ring areas that is a common maintenance problem
with centrifugal pumps.
REDUCES
NOISE AND VIBRATION --
Because of the high efficiency
design of the Simsite®
Impeller, its light weight, its noise
absorbing characteristics, and its precision machined design,
noise and vibration are reduced in the pump.
 MAINTAIN
THE OPERATING POINT -- Simsite®
impellers guarantee by their exceptional resistance to
corrosion, erosion, cavitation and wear, a reliable
maintenance of the metallic impellers, Simsite® impellers
show no degradation of their design point even after years of
service. Based of the unique properties of the Simsite material,
the best performance is achieved after months of operation, as
compared to metallics, which at that point are already
deteriorating.
DRY
RUNNING -- Based
on the chemical composition of this structural composite and its
self-lubricating properties, Simsite® Impellers
and Wear Rings allow dry-running for a period of time without any
danger of damage.
