Introduction
Thanks to a constant collaboration with its clients, most of them famous shipyards such as NAVAL GROUP, NAVANTIA, KOCKUMS AB, BAE SYSTEMS, DSME, HII, or Energy clients such as AREVA, EDF, ALFA LAVAL, OVIVO or others markets with clients such as CRISTAL UNION, ARCELOR MITTAL, IHC, Fapmo has developped experience and technologies unmatched in the world for centrifugal pumps.
Based on its great experience and technologies, Fapmo design department is able to work on all the requirements under any specific standards in order to meet Customers needs.
Furthermore, Fapmo has the rare ability to perform all the tests needed in order to prove Customers criterias are met.
Examples of Pumps and characteristics
Submarine and surface ship pumps
Depending on the requirements and pumps, Fapmo can commit (and prove) on some of the following characteristics :
- Ability to withstand shock > 120g
- Low pressure fluctuation level on the whole range of the pump operation
- Very low vibration and noise (<< 55dB)
- MTBF > 10 years
- Self priming bilge and ballast pumps working in any position of the boat
- 100% compliant under any standards
- Compacity : approx 30% less with canned motor
- High efficiency pumps with low electrical consumption
- Non magnetic pumps
Fapmo is also able to create a co-conception program with Customers in order to improve or develop a specific technology.
