Sulzer extends the high-efficiency SMD water pump range

Sulzer has released an extension to the state-of-the-art SMD axially split pump range to meet the requirements in municipal water treatment, supply, and distribution.

The company has expanded the performance of the pump range towards lower flows and implemented a higher level of standardisation for cost-effective solutions and short delivery times.

The SMD pump range is well-suited for a wide range of high-volume flow applications where raw, clean, sea, or brackish water is pumped, such as water abstraction, water transport, desalination, water treatment, supply, and distribution.

The pumps can also be used for firefighting, drainage, or distribution of heating and cooling media in residential and industrial systems.

The SMD pump range now offers both a standard version as well as configured options to meet individual application demands.

The innovative design of the new standard SMD pump contributes to a longer life cycle, higher reliability, and increased cost efficiency.

The compact hydraulic dimensions of the pumps are achieved with fewer and more interchangeable parts.

By providing the optimum hydraulic fit for each duty point, the SMD pumps reduce energy consumption and deliver improved hydraulic performance over a wide range of flows.

They also offer high suction performance with a low NPSH, which makes the planning of highly efficient pumping stations more flexible.

Thanks to their state-of-the-art hydraulic design, the SMD pumps work at low vibration levels, which prolongs the bearing life.

In addition, the bearing span is minimised and the casing thickness optimised for lower weight and improved mechanical reliability.

A new solution for a vertical installation of the SMD pump allows a small footprint and makes it the product of choice in areas with space constraints.
