Ballast Pump · Pumps
Centrifugal pumps are essential equipment for a wide range of maritime applications, transferring fluids efficiently and reliably. Sulzer's SMD Serie, a trusted choice for decades, offers a robust solution for sea water, ballast, and cooling water handling. This axially-split double-suction centrifugal pump comes in various sizes, from DN 150 to DN 700, with a flow range spanning 500 to 15,000 m³/h and a head range of 15 to 180 meters. Introduced in 1985, the SMD Serie boasts over 170 variants, showcasing its versatility. Powered by electric motors, these pumps are constructed from cast steel with multiple material options available to suit specific operational requirements. Sulzer's extensive global service network provides comprehensive support, including readily available spare parts like casing joint sets, bearings, seals, and couplings. Routine inspections can be performed without pipework removal due to the axial split design, and torque checks on the casing joint are crucial at every overhaul. Seal cartridge replacements are recommended every 8,000 hours.
