IMPELLERS It was a natural evolution
for Padgett-Swann Machinery to addimpellers
to its product line due to the companys
expertise in casting and repairing marine
propellers. |
 |
We repair all
types of impellers - from 9 to 180 - in all types of
materials using the same repair techniques, alloys,
expertise, and skill required to repair propellers.
Customers in pump manufacturing, power plants,
wastewater treatment, phosphate mines, and chemical
plants have discovered that use of these same
time-tested techniques enhance the performance of the
impeller tremendously. Repairs are performed
economically, efficiently, and expertly, thus cutting
maintenance costs, extending the life of the impeller,
and improving the performance of the pump. New
impellers cast in stainless steel and various other
alloys are also available.
