Sterling has two manufacturing plants in Germany, one in Spain, one in France, one in America and one in Canada.
The factory in Itzehoe, Germany, has recently invested in a new 'state-of-the-art' 2Meuro CNC machine.
This one machine replaces six conventional machines.
Its 'done-in-one principal', through its multi axis integrated turning, reduces manufacturing times.
Eliminating the set up procedure per machine operation also gives excellent quality finished components via its 'as-is' geometry from raw castings through to finished components.
The two manufacturing facilities in Germany have recently had multi-million Euros investment in each plant.
The test department in Ludwigshafen offers capabilities for large pumps of up to 4000KW.
This is the second largest in Europe, with flow rates up to 95000m3/h and pressures up to 250 bar.
In addition to our manufacturing facilities we also have our own foundry in Sheffield.
With two new two-tonne furnaces, the foundry specialises in nickel based alloys used for handling all types of arduous liquids.
Importantly, materials can be tailored to particular industrial environments in order to protect against all types of corrosion and erosion.
Comments from some Sterling customerswere as follows: "We are a precious metals processing company who...[have]...tried other vacuum technologies, but found them to be unable to cope with our tough process conditions...Together with the Sterling technical expertise, the SIHIdry and their service we have received has greatly benefited our production processes...and low life cycle cost".
And from an Engineering Maintenance Manager: "Sterling Fluid Systems have provided a solution that exceeds our specification, is proving to be reliable, and....their equipment and service has been exemplary".
Factors such as product innovation, energy saving, industry recognition, technical expertise, manufacturing capabilities and customer care were instrumental in demonstrating our strong commitment to the UK pump industry.
