The material Vibenite®280 and the VBN Components 3D technique is very suitable for compressor screws (helical compressor rotors). The application is also known as twin screw supercharger or Lysholm superchargers (from the Swedish inventor). By choosing Vibenite®280 you get:
- extremely high wear resistance
- high hot hardness (very little hardness drop up to approx 550° C)
- high fatigue resistance due to high purity (high cleanliness)
- full dimension stability (neat tolerances, high pressures, high yields)
- full cavitation resistance
- no welding
- no casting defects.
…and in addition:
- possibility for adding cooling fluid channels in screws
- a minimum of machining, since you get the screws in near-net-shape (only grinding required)
- lowest possible environmental impact.
The material Vibenite®280 and the VBN Components 3D technique is very suitable for impellers and pump components. These types of components will benefit from the Vibenite®280 material, since the reduction of wear will minimize the flushing losses during the lifetime. The result is higher pump yield and lower energy consumption.By choosing Vibenite®280 you get:
- extremely high wear resistance
- high hot hardness (very little hardness drop up to approx 550° C)
- high fatigue resistance due to high purity (high cleanliness)
- full dimension stability.
…and in addition:
- possibility for use of geometrical shapes that former were impossible to manufacture
- possibility to switch to a more wear resistant material than ever casted or machined before
- lowest possible environmental impact.
