Composite constructions

Our company is aware that not only the world's seas and coasts, but the entire global ecosystem and climate must be protected. Together with our customers, we consistently use our innovative resources to reduce the environmental impact of our products.

NIOTEC has always been aware that new technologies are always needed in this industry. This is one of the reasons why NIOTEC continually strives to remain a technological developer for aggregates and components made of composite, as other well-known companies also do in other areas. Not only do we want to use the latest technology on board, but we also want to advance environmental awareness.

By using our energy-saving technologies, not only noise and vibration can be significantly reduced, but also Co2 emissions.

FIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITE PUMP COMPONENTS

OUTSTANDING RESISTANCE AGAINST SEA AND BRACKISH WATER

Our strategy: Experience on the one hand combined with the application of the most modern technologies on the other hand.

For the hydraulic calculation and the design of our impellers as well as for the 3D-Modeling and writing of the software for the numerically controlled production machines we work with specialists in these domains of preparation for the production.

Our materials, made from high-performance polymers, thermoplastics, and hard tissue, are extremely wear-resistant, resilient, self-lubricating, chemical, and corrosion-resistant.

Base polymers are crucial for wear resistance

Fibers and fillers reinforce the materials and can withstand high forces and continuous stress

Solid lubricants are distributed in very small particles throughout the material. They lubricate the materials independently

The numerically controlled all-round precision machining of the flow channels as well as the suction and pressure side of the vanes and the outer sides guarantee:

Highest dimensional accuracy for single-, multiple- or later on repeating production

Low shaft deflection caused by the low dead weight

Reduced radial forces caused by minimized unbalanced mass

TOP ADVANTAGES OF OUR NON-METALLIC MATERIAL

- Outstanding resistance against sea and brackish water
- Very low hydrophilicity and therefore low swelling only
- Very good resistance against cavitation
- Non-conductive, reduces electrolysis thus galvanic corrosion
- Only about 1/4 of the weight of metallic impellers
- Allows dry-running for a short time without the danger of damage

All surfaces which are in contact with the pumped liquid are extremely smooth, this leads to:
- Very little boundary layer thickness in the flow channels
- Very little friction losses in the flow channels as well as on the outer sides of the hub disk and shroud

The last topic is the definitive influence quantity which affects that centrifugal pumps which are fitted with our composite impellers demonstrable:
- Have essential better efficiencies
- Have essential better live time
- Have a crucial influence on the reduction of the energy cost and CO2- emissions
- Have a crucial influence on the reduction of the maintenance cost and downtimes
