To keep groundwater contamination free, it’s crucial that we have effective and safe wastewater treatment processes and equipment so contaminated water never enters natural or man-made water sources.
Contaminated wastewater contains toxic chemicals that if leaked into the environment in any way, can poison local wildlife and plants, and make groundwater undrinkable.
Cast Nylon has exceptional resistance to wear, abrasion, corrosion and chemicals, making it perfect for components and parts for this industry. They stand up to these harsh environments without failing. Nylatech continues to be a major supplier of engineered cast nylon parts for the wastewater and management industry and we’re doing our part to keep our waterways and groundwater sources clean and clear.
Why use engineered cast nylon for wastewater applications?
- It has excellent resistance to wear and abrasion.
- It has high impact strength.
- It is self-lubricating, allowing for efficient flow of water and or sediment.
- It has high corrosion and chemical resistance.
- It has a low co-efficient of friction.
- It comes in high visibility colors for increased safety on worksites and treatment plants.
- It is lightweight.
Some engineered plastic parts made from Cast Nylon for the wastewater industry include:
- Wear Plates: These are used in various equipment to reduce friction and wear, extending the lifespan of machinery.
- Pump Components: Such as impellers, wear rings, and housings, which benefit from Nylon's strength and resistance to corrosion.
- Valve Seats and Seals: Nylon provides excellent sealing properties and durability in harsh environments.
- Rollers and Wheels: Used in conveyor systems and other moving parts within wastewater treatment plants for their wear resistance and low friction.
- Gears and Sprockets: Essential for various mechanical systems in treatment plants, benefiting from Nylon 6's high strength and wear resistance.
- Scrapers and Wipers: Used in clarifiers and other sedimentation equipment for their chemical resistance and mechanical strength.
- Bushings and Bearings: Provide low friction and wear resistance, crucial for the smooth operation of rotating equipment.
- Sludge Dewatering Components: Such as filter plates and frames, taking advantage of Nylon's chemical resistance and mechanical strength.
- Guide Rails: For guiding and supporting machinery parts, offering a low-friction surface and wear resistance.
- Mixer and Agitator Components: Including blades and paddles that benefit from the material’s durability and resistance to wear and corrosion.
