 ADVANTAGES OF SIMSITE® IMPELLERS


ADVANTAGES OF SIMSITE® IMPELLERS

SUBJECT BENEFIT OF SIMSITE® REASON
 

PUMP PERFORMANCE

BETTER PERFORMANCE

HIGH
EFFICIENCY

  1. Engineering Design

  2. 5-Axis CNC Milling.

  3. Smooth Vane Surfaces.

  4. Self Lubricating Surfaces.

  5. Less leakage through Rings.

  6. No Casting Imperfections.

 

CORROSION RESISTANCE

LITTLE OR NO CORROSION
(Non Corrosive in Salt and Brackish Water -- Good Chemical Resistance)

  1. Phenolic / Epoxy Resin Matrix and Graphite Fibers are not affected by salt water.
  2. Simsite®  is Corrosion Resistant to Most Acid or Alkaline Solutions.
ELECTROLYSIS RESISTANCE

NO ELECTROLYSIS

  1. The Graphite Used in Simsite® is Non Conductive.
  2. The more Simsite® in the Pump the Lower the Electrolysis.
START UP TORQUE

 

LOWER AMPS

  1. Light Weight. (Simsite® Specific Gravity is 1/6 the Weight of Bronze and Stainless and 1/3 the Weight Titanium)
  2. Always Balanced.
POWER CONSUMPTION

 

LOWER AMPS

  1. Light Weight. (Simsite® Specific Gravity is 1/6 the Weight of Bronze, and Stainless Steel and 1/3 the Weight of Titanium.)
  2. Engineering Design. (High Efficiency)
  3. Always Balanced.
HYDRAULIC BALANCE

REDUCED HYDRAULIC FORCE

  1. Precision Machining - - All the vanes are within .002 inches of each other. All exit ports are equally spaced.
  2. There are No Casting Imperfections.
 

MECHANICAL BALANCE

 

 

ALWAYS BALANCED

  1. Precision Machining – All Simsite® Impellers are Machined on a 5-axis CNC Machining Center from a Center Reference Point for Symmetry.
  2. Simsite® Impellers, Rings, & Guide Bearings will not   Corrode in Salt Water and therefore will not go into an imbalance.
WEIGHT

LIGHT WEIGHT

  1. Simsite® Specific Gravity is approximately 1/6 the Weight of Bronze, 1/6 the weight of Stainless Steel and 1/3 the Weight of Titanium.
EFFICIENCY

HIGH EFFICIENCY

  1. Smoother Surfaces.
  2. Precision Machining.
  3. No Casting Imperfections.
  4. Minimum Casing Ring Clearances.
  5. Engineering Design.
CAVITATION

REDUCES CAVITATION

  1. Simsite® Impellers are Designed to Reduce Cavitation.
  2. Simsite® Composite is good against the effects of Cavitation.
NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head)

LOWER NPSHR

  1. Engineering Design -- The Simsite® Impeller Vanes are Designed to Reduce the NPSHR.
  2. Engineering Expertise.
