Sulzer SIL Inline Single-Stage Centrifugal Pump

Description

A compact inline single-stage pump with an integrated or IEC motor

The Sulzer SIL is an inline single-stage centrifugal pump range designed to ISO 5199 and to meet efficiency regulations; Sulzer states that the whole range exceeds the EU ErP minimum efficiency index MEI 0.4. A monoblock construction without a separate bearing unit keeps it compact, rigid and low on maintenance, and the pump can be installed vertically or horizontally in the piping. It is meant for clean and slightly contaminated liquids, clean viscous liquids up to 250 cSt and fibrous slurries up to 1 percent consistency.

Viscosity / solids Viscous liquids up to 250 cSt; fibrous slurries up to 1 percent consistency
Converter use Suitable for frequency converter operation
Installation Integrated-motor version can be installed without baseplate or alignment, vertically or horizontally

SIL with integrated motor or IEC motor

With an integrated motor the impeller is mounted directly on the motor shaft, so no baseplate grouting or pump-to-motor alignment is needed and the footprint is small. The SD version uses a flange-mounted IEC standard motor connected through a coupling, giving a larger power range and IE3 or IE4 motor classes. Balancing holes and the large seal chamber bore improve flow and pressure around the shaft seal, which extends seal life and avoids dry running of single seals across a wide operating area.

Applications

Sulzer names oil and gas, hydrocarbon processing, power generation, pulp, paper and board, chemical process, water and wastewater and general industry. Typical use includes cooling and circulation, transfer and boosting where an API 610 pump is not required. For API-class refinery services see the Sulzer OHV, and for other Sulzer models browse pumps.

About brand

Pressure sewer systems that discharge through narrow pipe rely on grinder pumps, and the ABS Piranha is the Sulzer answer to that duty. Sulzer has worked in pumps and fluid engineering since 1834 from Winterthur, Switzerland. Seven Star LLC lists the Sulzer ABS Piranha PIR-S21/2 submersible grinder pump and supplies Sulzer pumps and parts to utilities and contractors in Oman.

Sulzer ABS Piranha grinder pump series

The Piranha range is split into the S series, which includes the S21, and the PE series with IE3 motors. In front of the impeller sit a spiral bottom plate, a stationary cutter ring and a shredding rotor that cut cloths and plastic before they reach the hydraulics. The bottom plate is adjustable to take up wear. Versions exist for 50 Hz and 60 Hz, three-phase 400 V and single-phase 230 V supplies.

Ordering Sulzer pumps and spare parts: what we need

Send the full type designation and the serial number from the nameplate, the supply voltage, phase and frequency, the discharge size, and whether an explosion-protected version is required. For cutter or seal parts, the nameplate photo is enough for us to trace the parts list. This applies equally to GCC municipal projects.
