PIAD is proud of their
partnership with MATRX Medical, Inc. which resulted in the
development and production of the finest dental suction pump now on
the market, the MAXIMIZER.
Working together with PIAD from the
earliest design stage allowed MATRX to take full advantage of PIAD's
unique chill casting process in the development of this
revolutionary pump design.
From the initiation of this project,
MATRX had established very tough goals. They wanted to produce a
compact, reliable, easy to maintain product which would reduce water
usage significantly. All these design features needed to be
accomplished while meeting the constraints of cost reduction
compared with the current project.
PIAD's engineering worked closely
with MATRX to achieve these challenging goals. PIAD's castings of
the pump housing, impellers, pump base and manifold provide near net
shape configurations that include cast to size holes, diameters,
ports and passages. Where finishing is required, the machining stock
is minimal and the excellent repeatability of PIAD's chill castings
has eliminated fixturing problems on the C.N.C. machining centers.
The MAXIMIZER is subjected daily to
highly abrasive materials and operates under variable water
conditions. PIAD's A011 aluminum
bronze alloy has met these technical challenges with excellent
corrosion and wear resistance.
MATRX continues to expand its
markets for the MAXIMIZER because it uses only 120 gallons of water
daily versus 600 gallons typical with other systems. PIAD's chill
castings contributed to the success of the MATRX pump design and
provided cost savings through value analysis at the beginning of the
design phase.
