Design & Manufacturing

Technical department

Fapmo technical department is composed of highly skilled technicians and engineers able to design a 100% compliant system under any standards and with the highest requirements in term of:

Shock
Seismic
Hydraulic
Temperature of the fluid
Noise and Vibration
Pressure fluctuation level
Viscosity
…

Furthermore, Fapmo has also the capability to work on studies with modelisation concerning your entire hydraulic system in order to reach and confirm the best performance.

The latest softwares are used to design and simulate pumps and systems with computational fluid dynamics simulation (backed by a huge database of empirical tests), static and dynamic analyses. Fapmo also constantly invest in its simulation tools to always be on top of the state of the art.

3D : Soliworks, Creo Parametric
2D : AutoCad Mechanical
Structural simulation : Solidworks Simulation
Fluid simulation : ANSYS CFX, Flow Simulation

as well as some others softwares made by Fapmo.

Manufacturing department

Fapmo manufacturing départment is deployed on more than 10 000m2 and composed of :

Painting facility
More than 15 machine tools
Wood modeling facility (we have more than 6000 references)
A clean assembly room
Balancing checking tools

with ability to work on any size thanks to Fapmo space area and manutention equipments.

Some words on the importance of balancing checking

A non balanced rotating assembly can be a source of residual vibrations, noise pollution, damage to bearing housings and other vital parts, hindrance to hydraulic performance and reduction in a pump’s service life. Fapmo‘s view is that manufacturing pumps running well beneath the usual requirements in terms of sound pressure levels is one obligatory quality criterion that calls for a good command of balancing.

Fapmo ‘s balancing installation allows a one-off accurate positioning and measurement of the unbalance. The machine ‘ s effectiveness makes possible both a measurement with a substantial initial unbalance and the determination of the exact counterbalance that will bring the rotary element to the highest quality standard.
