BENEFIT OF SIMSITE® |
REASON |
|
PUMP PERFORMANCE |
BETTER PERFORMANCE
HIGH
EFFICIENCY |
-
Engineering Design
-
5-Axis CNC Milling.
-
Smooth Vane Surfaces.
-
Self Lubricating Surfaces.
-
Less leakage through Rings.
-
No Casting Imperfections.
|
|
CORROSION RESISTANCE |
LITTLE OR NO CORROSION
(Non Corrosive in Salt and Brackish Water -- Good Chemical Resistance) |
- Phenolic / Epoxy Resin Matrix and Graphite Fibers are not affected by salt water.
- Simsite® is Corrosion Resistant to Most Acid or Alkaline Solutions.
|
| ELECTROLYSIS RESISTANCE |
NO ELECTROLYSIS |
- The Graphite Used in Simsite® is Non Conductive.
- The more Simsite® in the Pump the Lower the Electrolysis.
|
| START UP TORQUE |
LOWER AMPS |
- Light Weight. (Simsite® Specific Gravity is 1/6 the Weight of Bronze and Stainless and 1/3 the Weight Titanium)
- Always Balanced.
|
| POWER CONSUMPTION |
LOWER AMPS |
- Light Weight. (Simsite® Specific Gravity is 1/6 the Weight of Bronze, and Stainless Steel and 1/3 the Weight of Titanium.)
- Engineering Design. (High Efficiency)
- Always Balanced.
|
| HYDRAULIC BALANCE |
REDUCED HYDRAULIC FORCE |
- Precision Machining - - All the vanes are within .002 inches of each other. All exit ports are equally spaced.
- There are No Casting Imperfections.
|
|
MECHANICAL BALANCE |
ALWAYS BALANCED |
- Precision Machining – All Simsite® Impellers are Machined on a 5-axis CNC Machining Center from a Center Reference Point for Symmetry.
- Simsite® Impellers, Rings, & Guide Bearings will not Corrode in Salt Water and therefore will not go into an imbalance.
|
| WEIGHT |
LIGHT WEIGHT |
- 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 |
- Smoother Surfaces.
- Precision Machining.
- No Casting Imperfections.
- Minimum Casing Ring Clearances.
- Engineering Design.
|
| CAVITATION |
REDUCES CAVITATION |
- Simsite® Impellers are Designed to Reduce Cavitation.
- Simsite® Composite is good against the effects of Cavitation.
|
| NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) |
LOWER NPSHR |
- Engineering Design -- The Simsite® Impeller Vanes are Designed to Reduce the NPSHR.
- Engineering Expertise.
