Impellers and Wear Rings
Lower costs - increased performance
Operating and maintenance costs
The costs are drastically reduced Simsite Impellers and Rings are excellent for new or retrofit applications. They are light weight and virtually indestructible. Wear of pump parts is greatly reduced because of Simsite's balance, light weight and self-lubricating properties. This means far less replacement of parts, less downtimen and years of trouble free performance.
Customized for maximum performance
Because Simsite Impellers are computer designed and precision machined, the impeller vanes can be designed to maximize efficiency. Problems such as reciculation and cavitation can be minimized of eliminated with Simsite Impellers. Impeller vans shapes can easily be modified to provide the best vans shape for specific applications. The following graph shows that Simsite Impellers are not subject to many of the hydraulic losses found with cast and moulded impellers.
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.
Light weight
The exceptional high strength-to-weight ratio of Simsite permits a much lighter weight impeller. This means a substantial reduction in start-up load, longer bearing and mechanical seal life, and less shaft deflection.
Computerized high efficiency design
All Simsite Impellers and parts are precision machined which increases accuracy and efficiency. Impeller vane shapes are contoured for maximum performance and efficiency.
