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 Series 10,000 pumping system provide years of maintenance free service.

SIMSITE® is a corrosion resistant structural 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, Mechanical Seals, 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 Simsite® 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 blows in excess of 200 G’s of force in three different axis orientations while running, without being damaged or leaking!
