General Industrial Applications

Sterling SIHI’s solutions in the field of general industrial applications include the metal processing, mining / mineral extraction, and marine industries, as well as in foundries and the textile processing, agricultural and building industries. Sterling SIHI also supplies fast growing market segments such as thin film coating and PV solar technology with special dry running vacuum systems. By focussing on the requirements for these applications we are able to deliver the right solution for the customer processes.

Agriculture
Because rainfall varies enormously through the year and between regions, farmers often have to help with irrigation. Nearly 20 % of world's agricultural land requires additional water for food production.

Building Industries and Services
Drinking water from the public water supply is provided at limited pressure. This pressure is not sufficient to supply water to high buildings, fire-fighting systems or cleaning processes. Sterling SIHI pumps of all sizes provide the required pressure ...

Marine Industry
All pump applications for the ship’s engine room and onboard utilities are the key to the effective operation of a ship. To fulfil the specific requirements of the marine industry, inside knowledge is essential for choosing the right solution for harsh ...

Metal Processing (coating and surface technology)
Products and systems must often be designed to operate and function properly even in the most extreme environments and exceptional conditions. Sophisticated surface technology enables coatings and surface treatments designed to meet a wide ...

Solar Industry (Photovoltaic)
The generation of electrical power using solar cells (PV = photovoltaic) is becoming an essential part of mastering the challenges of global warming and alternative to fossil fuels. Sterling SIHI pumps play an integral role in the energy ...

Thin Film Coating
New, highly efficient coating processes, such as nanotechnology, use vacuum to deposit the active layers. From functional architectural glass (low-emission, self-cleaning), laminated plastic film with infrared-protection and metal-coated foil, to ...

Mining / Mineral Extraction (ceramics)
The manufacture of ceramic materials requires numerous, primarily thermal, processes. The plant used here is of vital importance in achieving reproducible, property-enhanced products, also from an energy-efficiency, economic and ecological point of view.

Foundries
Foundries have evolved from using ancient metal forming processes into ultra-modern, industrial enterprises. Casting processes are particularly advantageous for the mass production of all kinds of components, whereby there has been a ...

Textile Processing
Textile processing comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing yarn or textile fabrics, or finishing yarn, textile fabrics or clothing. Industrial washing machines and dry cleaning equipment manufactures benefit from Sterling SIHI's broad ...
