Simsite® Structural Composite Pumps
SIMS Series 10000 NAVY Pump

"The only Pump that is Impervious to Salt Water Corrosion"

Sims Pump Valve Company is pleased to offer the following SIMS Series 10000, Shock Qualified Navy Pumps. SIMS pumps and base plates are constructed utilizing Simsite Patented Structural Graphite Composite materials with excellent mechanical and physical properties, wear characteristics, and unsurpassed corrosion resistance. Unlike metallic components, Simsite® Pumps and Pump Parts will not corrode or deteriorate in a salt-water environment. Combined with our "heavy duty" marine service, shock qualified, sealed bearing motors, the SIMS Series 10,000 pumping system will provide years of maintenance free service.

SIMS Pump Company continues to prove its leadership capabilities with the design and manufacture of the first structural composite pumps and base plates to pass the US Navy Shock and Vibration Testing. The above pump and base plate is manufactured completely from SIMSITE®, a patented structural graphite tri-dimensional weave fiber composite manufactured by the Sims Pump Valve Company, Inc of Hoboken, New Jersey. This above pump is a 4 x 3 – 10 close coupled, horizontal pump designed for 500 GPM capacity, with a total discharge head of 100 feet at 1750 RPM with a 20 HP motor. This size pump is good up to capacities of 800 GPM. The motor is a redesigned and upgraded marine duty motor manufactured from ductile iron with a type 316 stainless steel shaft. The mechanical seal is a cartridge type seal with silicon carbide against tungsten carbide faces. SIMS chose this type of seal for reliability and ease of maintenance.

SIMSITE® is a corrosion resistant composite, which is impervious to attack from seawater and has been proven to outlast and outperform traditional metalics. SIMS does not cast or mold their pumps or pump parts; rather, they are completely machined from solid blocks of the structural composite. Because the pumps and pump parts are machined as opposed to being cast, internal voids, defects, and cracks are eliminated. SIMSITE® composites have the same strength on the inside as they do on the outside.

SIMS Pump Internals (Impellers, Casing Rings, Wear Rings, Bearings, Sleeves and Bushings) have been approved by the United States Navy for surface Ships since 1994 and have been approved by the German Navy since 1998 for Surface Ships and Submarines.

SIMSITE® Pumps and Impellers are custom engineered for high efficiency. Because the products are completely machined from solid blocks of composite, state-of-the-art CAD/CAM/FEA analysis and techniques are used to maximize performance, efficiency, and ease of use by maintenance personnel.

The back pullout design makes it extremely easy for maintenance personnel to check the casing volute or impeller without disturbing the piping set up.

The SIMSITE® pump is on a Shock test bed at the NU Labs site in Philipsburg, NJ. The pump must sustain nine (9) blows in excess of 200 G's of force in three different axis orientations while running, without being damaged or leaking.
