The SNS process pumps are designed to pump clean and slightly contaminated liquids, viscose liquids, and fibrous slurries. The unique hydraulic design ensures efficient pumping with a low NPSHr (net positive suction head required) across the whole pump range.
State-of-the-art simulation technology was used for designing the reliable and highly efficient impeller, casing, and shaft sealing. This resulted in very efficient hydraulics with improved shaft sealing conditions to ensure high reliability. Optimized patent-pending balancing holes in the impeller together with a new design for the sealing chamber guarantee ideal conditions for maximizing the lifetime of the seal.
The innovative patent-pending Sulzer mechanical shaft seal solution provides easy assembly and maintenance. At the same time, it reduces the total cost of ownership by cutting down operation, maintenance, and downtime costs to a minimum. The compact pump design minimizes shaft deflection and extends the shaft seal lifetime while decreasing unexpected shutdowns and overall maintenance costs.
"With the new SNS product line, Sulzer provides its customers with very cost-effective pumping solutions, both on initial investment and—even more importantly—on energy consumption. This represents a significant contribution to improve our customers' profitability and environmental footprint", states Cesar Montenegro, Division President Pumps Equipment at Sulzer.
Sulzer is a global partner offering reliable and sustainable solutions for performance-critical applications.
