S eawater/brine systems > Lightweight One of the unenviable challenges that has always concerned the design engineer is reducing the weight of the vessel. They must do this without compromising any aspects of it’s performance. This reduction in weight will give the key benefit of increased load i.e. cargo, people/customers/personnel or vital equipment. Plastic valves offer a massive reduction in weight in comparison to traditional metallic valves. In some cases as much as 75%. They trust in us : SAFi have been specified by leading boat builders based throughout the world. Some of their more illustrious applications include BVT (formerly BAe Systems) based in Scotstoun-Glasgow. They used the 2” flanged compact valve (< 2.5kg) on black & grey water systems for the new Naval- Type 45. They came to SAFi requesting an alternative to cast iron, which had previously been used on Landing Craft Units (LCU). RNLI have used SAFi valves for many years and had no hesitation using our electric actuated valves for the Tamar Project, a new fast slipway launched boat designed for the 21st century The mainstay of the business still remains within the luxury yacht & boat builders. Marine applications are well know as one of the harshest environments for any material. Salt, present in both the atmosphere and water is highly corrosive to most metals. Normal practice of special coatings and expensive materials such as stainless steel are not always the best answer. Glass Reinforced Polypropylene (GRPP) is recognized as one of the most mechanically robust and corrosion resistant plastics available. GRPP gives excellent corrosion resistance to marine environments, it’s carbon black ensures protection from UV light and it’s glass fibre gives good mechanical strength. As no corrosion will ever be present in a plastic valve then there is another benefit - EASY MAINTENANCE > Valve Design Approval Our proven design has been approved for use on ships and yachts by Bureau Veritas.
