What really matters in high-pressure pumps?
As designers, makers and suppliers, we know it’s the quality of the materials. We have over 30 years’ experience in this area, and invest more than €20 million annually in Research & Development. Which is why we lead the way in innovative duplex design.
Duplex steels provide a well-balanced spectrum of resistance to corrosion and appropriate mechanical and technological properties. That all adds up to much longer service lives for our pumps.
Benefits at a glance:
- High strength combined with excellent toughness
- Excellent resistance to crevice and pitting corrosion (PREN 36 on average)
- Resistance to stress corrosion cracking and intergranular corrosion
- High resistance to cavitation and hydroabrasive wear (erosion)
