Our patented Vibenite® materials and the VBN Components 3D technique are 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® you get:
- extremely high wear resistance
- high hot hardness
- 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:
- the possibility of adding unique features like 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
Vibenite® materials and the VBN Components 3D technique are also very suitable for impellers and pump components. These types of components will benefit from the materials, since the reduction of wear will minimise the flushing losses during their lifetime. The result is higher pump yield and lower energy consumption. By choosing Vibenite® you get:
- extremely high wear resistance
- high hot hardness
- high fatigue resistance due to high purity (high cleanliness)
- full dimension stability
…and in addition:
- possibility to use geometrical shapes that were formerly impossible to manufacture
- possibility to switch to a more wear resistant material than ever casted or machined before
- lowest possible environmental impact
