S+C Special Products

Pumps and fittings

We boost your performance

The requirements on pumps and valves are maximum reliability with longest possible service life, regardless what medium the parts are exposed to. With decades of experience, S+C is one of the technical pioneers for the manufacture of heavy-duty stainless steels in the field of pump and valve construction. Our production processes range from centrifugal casting, static and investment casting up to forged components.

S+C’s range of materials includes various stainless steels that are wear-, corrosion- or acid-resistant and include even duplex steels as well as high-alloyed materials, such as nickel-based alloys. If desired, our metallurgists will select the most suitable material for your application from our range of different stainless steels and alloys.

Wherever pumps, compressors and valves are used that have to meet the highest demands in terms of mechanical, thermal or corrosive loads: We work alongside you to satisfy these requirements.

Depending on customer’s request, we supply such components either in pre-machined or in finish machined condition, ready for installation.

Pumps and fittings in continuous industrial use are partly subjected to extreme stress. The quality and stability of each component determines the reliability of the entire system, e.g. parts for pumps must withstand speed fluctuations and pressure surges that may occur during operation. Careful manufacturing and continuous quality controls during and after production ensure the highest quality at S+C, regardless of whether the parts are cast or forged.

Safeguarding Movement – Shafts made of Märker® Stainless Steels

Schmidt + Clemens is taking on this challenge, producing both, pre-machined and ready-to-install pump shafts from high-performance special steels in a specialized production facility.

The shaft, as the heart of the pump, plays a key role in meeting these requirements. Resistance to aggressive media with minimal deflection, smooth pump operation, and stability during load changes guarantee a long service life of a pump system and thus ensure movement.

Manufacturing options

  • Special heat treatment for pre-machined pump shafts with lowest internal stress
  • Extensive mechanical machining options – e.g. turning, milling, drilling, grinding
  • Finish machining, including chrome plating

High-performance components made of stainless steels

When it comes to pumps for heavy-duty industrial applications, Märker® stainless steel shafts and pump blocks are the ideal solution. They combine safety, reliability, and durability with maximum cost-effectiveness.

S+C addresses the different challenges of conveying and fluid technology and, using state-of-the-art manufacturing technology, produces pre-turned and ready-to-install shafts as well as cubic components made of high-strength and corrosion-resistant steels: forged, hot-rolled, solution-annealed, age hardened, quenched and tempered.

The S+C Portfolio:

  • Forged stainless steel shafts
  • Pump blocks
  • Shaft protection sleeves
  • Pump and valve housings
  • Impellers and guide wheels
  • Split and seat rings
  • o Protective sleeves

For maximum flexibility and short lead-time, we stock a selection of stainless steels such as martensitic and duplex steels.
