centrifugal pumps
Through revolutionary methods, we
have improved the performance
and reliability of our pumps. Here
at Sulzer, we place great emphasis
on innovation and research and
development. Using our own
simulation tools, we can quickly
analyze various hydraulic designs
and test the final design options in
real operational conditions at our
full-scale laboratory.

Hydraulic coverage for the most
demanding applications
AHLSTAR pumps have been designed to meet the most demanding hydraulic requirements for all types of liquid,
making it the ideal range for challenging pumping operations.

Since our very first designs in the mid 1980s up to the most recent state-of-the-art range, we have delivered
close to 200’000 AHLSTAR pumps worldwide – all designed to exceed standard requirements and customer
expectations.

The AHLSTAR range, comprised of the A, APP/T, NPP/T, WPP/T and EPP/T ranges, has been designed in
accordance with ISO 5199 and ISO 2858 international standards, and has been even further developed to
surpass market standards and ensure excellent performance and reliability.

 Degassing and self-priming units
AHLSTAR pumps can be fitted with self-priming or degassing units, to
enable the pump to be started with an empty inlet pipe and to allow it Liquid ring
to pump liquids with high gas content. pump LM

AHLSTAR degassing and self-priming units, the LM or S liquid ring

pump and the GM, GS or R gas separator units, stabilize the pumping
of liquids containing up to 40% weakly bonded gases or up to 70%
strongly bonded gases using centrifugal pumps.

Degassing and self-priming solutions
Positive inlet head
AHLSTAR pump with LM or S integrated liquid ring pump
degassing unit
• For reliable pumping of gases containing liquids in unstable inlet
head applications
• Single or double mechanical seal with recirculation flushing for
clean liquids or with external flushing for fibrous and non-fibrous
slurries and liquids containing large solids

liquids, requires gooseneck inlet pipe
• Single mechanical seal with external flushing for slurries and
liquids containing large solids

13
Shaft seals
Shat seal need to be selected carefully according
to pumped liquid and operational conditions. With
optimal seal selection you can maximize the lifetime of
the seal and ensure reliable operation.

We have developed innovative Sulzer mechanical

shaft seals for maximizing operational reliability
and minimizing downtime costs. As Sulzer shaft
seals require little or no water, they minimize also
environmental costs.

Patented impeller balancing holes together with

optimized impeller back vanes improve liquid
circulation and create ideal conditions in the seal
chamber.

15
Sealing water equipment
Sealing water equipment regulates the volume and pressure of external sealing water for optimum pump
performance. The equipment is attached directly to the supply connection using a hose or pipe/tube.

Automatic constant flow sealing water equipment

Heavy-duty bearing units
Sulzer’s AHLSTAR bearing units are reliable and heavy-duty, resulting in minimized maintenance costs.

• Optimized construction, making assembly fast and

simple
• Heavy-duty shaft minimizes deflection at stuffing box
< 0.05 mm / 0.002 in, thereby extending the life cycle
of the shaft seal
• Oil bath or oil splash lubrication for applications up to
180°C / 355°F and grease lubrication up to 120°C /
250°F
• The strong, over-sized bearing design far exceeds the
ISO 5199 standard life cycle of 17’500 hours
• A sturdy support foot provides a solid base and
prevents coupling alignment changes Oil bath lubrication

Oil splash lubrication

Grease lubrication

Innovative bearing isolators

Sulzer’s innovative, non-contacting
bearing isolators at the both ends
of the bearing house consist of
three elements: a deflector, a lip
seal and a labyrinth. This triple
bearing protection prevents
lubricant leaks from the bearing
house and keeps contaminants
out. No contact between the lip
seal and shaft when the pump is
rotating also means no wear, which
extends the lifecycle of the unit.
