Patented Technology

Düchting's SICcast® pumps are manufactured using a dense matrix of Silicon Carbide(SIC) and Epoxy Resin vacuum molded at high temperature to create a non permeable, corrosion proof, highly wear resistant casting. SIC is 9.7 on the Moh's hardness scale (diamond is 10). This extraordinary material provides many times the wear life of traditional hard metal and rubber lined pumps.

Technology Comparison

  ROWA MCC Pump

ROWA-MCC

SICcast®
Other Materials
  • Does not corrode in low PH environments


  • Excellent erosion resistance. 9.7 on Moh's hardness scale.


  • Cost comparable to other pumps


  • Operating costs are lower due to superior pump efficiency that does not rapidly degrade due to the products superior wear and corrosion resistance


  • Delivery of pumps and parts is very reliable because we do not use third party suppliers for casting the SICcast parts.


  • Impellers are made entirely of the SICcast material.


  • All wetted pump surfaces are SICcast.

Hard Iron

  • Corrodes rapidly with PH levels below 3.0
  • Susceptible to Chloride attack
  • A very good metal for erosion resistance, but still only about half the hardness of SIC

Rubber Linings

  • Cannot be used on impellers generating more that 150 feet TDH per stage
  • The base metal is highly susceptible to erosion and corrosion if any part of the lining becomes separated or torn

Duplex Steel

  • Best corrosion resistance of the metals, but can be susceptible to stress corrosion cracking.
  • Erosion problems in abrasive environments
