About Us
Beginning with the inception of siphonic systems in 1983, Si-Flux pioneered the first patent self-priming siphonic outlet. This innovative outlet featured an anti-vortex plate with three fins, effectively eliminating vortex flow and facilitating full-bore peak storm flow. Developed in collaboration with the University of Sheffield, Si-Flux’s analytical design program incorporated essential safety parameters, including a maximum negative pressure of 8.00 meters water column (m.w.c), a minimum flow of 1.00m/s, and a 10% outlet reserve. These automatic safety features are fundamental in siphonic system design.
Today, the siphonic industry widely adopts the principles of fin or baffle utilization in outlet construction to achieve vortex-free laminar flow. However, the incorporation of fins or baffles can pose a challenge, potentially leading to blockages if not adequately maintained—an issue well-recognized within the industry.
In response to this challenge, Si-Flux’s pioneering R&D team conducted an extensive study to develop a “game-changing”geometric flow outlet. The objective was to create a safe and obstruction-resistant alternative to traditional siphonic outlets by designing a geometric anti-vortex full-bore outlet without the use of fins or baffle arrangements.
The culmination of this research effort is the Si-Flux anti-block finless siphonic outlet. Accredited with EN 1253 certification for its H10 Crushproof AVP, suitability for hot work use, and membrane clamping mechanism, this outlet has been rigorously tested by the University of Sheffield. Additionally, it undergoes UKAS Calibrated accredited anti-block and flow tests up to 90Lps, ensuring reliability and performance. Engineered for easy integration and cost-effectiveness, the Si-Flux outlet offers a universal solution for siphonic system applications.
