ABOUT SIMSITE®.

 

diffuserSimsite is a patented structural composite material offered exclusively by the Sims Pump Valve Company in Hoboken, USA. It is a graphite combination-fibre continuously interwoven reinforced composite with phenolic/epoxy thermoset resin. Simsite is designed using fibres in an interwoven bi-directional or tri-directional weave. Continuous fibres provide the highest strength and flexibility available on the market today. As a heavy-duty structural composite its characteristics can be tailored by our patented process to accommodate the required structural strength of the parts being manufactured.

 

openSimsite composites stand up better to corrosive environments, erosion, and cavitation than metallics or other non-structural composites and will significantly improve pump performance. Beyond performance, a look at total costs reveals that Simsite composites are an exceptional added value. An evaluation of maintenance, spare parts, inventory, and energy usage, shows Simsite composites to be the best cost option for most pump applications.

Simsite's key benefits are its corrosion and erosion resistance, its cavitation resistance, its light weight (1/6 the weight of bronze) and it lasts 3-5 times longer than metallics. For more than 35 years SIMS has been manufacturing Simsite pumps, impellers, bearings and rings of all sizes that exceed the performance of metallics in salt water and corrosive environments. Simsite's natural lubricity reduces wear on motors, bearings, and rings while providing quiet vibration free operation at a cost that is competitive with bronze.
