Composites for Pump Industry

Wear-Free Bearings and Impeller Wear Rings
Bearings, case and impeller wear rings are vital components in the critical pump and compressor applications used in power plants, refineries and reverse osmosis equipment. Under extreme operating conditions with the focus on total life cycle cost, these industries demand the highest standards in safety, reliability and efficiency in regards to the total production of equipment.

Composite materials replace metal in critical applications. They provide properties that withstand friction and provide superior chemical resistance. Nongalling/Nonseizing composition creates ideal wear rings, bushings and bearings for centrifugal pumps. The outstanding  material characteristics of Composites allow for reduced running clearance and improved energy efficiency.

Profile Requirements for Composites:

•  High mechanical strength
•  Low coefficient of thermal expansion
•  API recommended
•  Excellent wear properties
•  Universal chemical resistance
•  Duplex replacement for RO-applications
•  Resistant to hot water and high temperature steam
•  Good dry running properties
•  Light weight
