Sulzer

Sulzer is a Swiss-based global leader in fluid engineering, pumping technology and rotating equipment services, with a history spanning more than 185 years. Through its ABS submersible pump range, Sulzer designs and manufactures dewatering, sewage, grinder and mixing pumps engineered for reliable operation in demanding wastewater, municipal, industrial and construction dewatering applications. Sulzer ABS submersible pumps are widely deployed in municipal wastewater treatment plants, pumping stations, industrial process water systems, construction dewatering sites and marine applications. The portfolio includes the Piranha grinder pump series, which uses a shredding cutter mechanism to macerate solids and fibrous material before pumping, allowing effluent to be conveyed through smaller-diameter discharge pipework than would otherwise be possible. Known for rugged cast iron construction, hydraulically efficient impeller designs and long service intervals, Sulzer ABS pumps support continuous, low-maintenance operation in some of the most demanding pumping environments, backed by Sulzer’s global service and engineering network.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Sulzer ABS submersible pumps used for?
They are used for sewage and wastewater pumping, stormwater, drainage, construction dewatering and industrial process water. Mixers and agitators are also available.
How does the Sulzer Piranha grinder pump work?
A cutter system shreds solids and fibrous material before pumping. This allows sewage to be moved through small-diameter pressure pipelines.
Can Sulzer pumps run continuously?
Yes, many ABS pumps are rated for continuous duty with premium efficiency motors. Built-in sensors protect against overheating and seal leakage.
Are explosion-proof Sulzer pumps available?
Sulzer offers explosion-proof ABS submersible pumps with ATEX certification for hazardous wastewater environments. They are common in municipal pumping stations.
What maintenance does a Sulzer submersible pump need?
Periodic checks of impeller wear, mechanical seals and oil condition are recommended. Following service intervals extends pump life significantly.
