Inspection & Analysis

Sulzer’s approach to inspection and analysis ensures you’re getting the right solution for your equipment. It’s not just a pump itself that can cause failure, but demand, environmental and application conditions are just a few of the problems your pump faces. Sulzer’s inspection and analysis is offered in the service center closest to you or even on site and includes:

- Root cause analysis
- Precision duty measurement
- Analysis and recommendations

OEM-X line Service by Sulzer means a special care to your pump. With our expertise in solutions and not just replacing, you always get the Sulzer standard of service. We don’t just repair, retrofit or manufacture needed parts, but we learn all we can about your asset and operations to offer and execute the best options for you.

Sulzer stays on the forefront of the best technologies and approaches to improve rotating equipment performance and sustainability through:

- Material upgrades
- Coatings
- Design upgrades
- Hydraulic improvements
- Enhanced maintainability

No matter your operational application, required performance demand, brand or asset maturity, Sulzer is here to improve pump efficiency, reduce MTBF and keep your pumps pumping.

Bespoke Solutions: Parts Manufacturing

There’s more to replacing your pumps’ parts than just inventory concerns. What about upgrading materials, coatings or design to improve equipment performance or minimizing carbon footprint? Or what if your pump is mature and parts are simply unavailable or with extensive lead times?

Don’t worry, Sulzer has got you covered. With OEM-X line, no matter the state of your pump, age, or brand, we have the capabilities, technologies and expertise to re-engineer and manufacture replacement parts. With our network of service centers and available materials, in-stock, your pump parts challenges are solved with rapid delivery, to reduce downtime and improve efficiency.

Better parts. Faster delivery. Improve efficiency. Reduce downtime and MTBF.

That’s OEM-X line Service by Sulzer. Any Pump. Any Part. Any time.

Bespoke Solutions: Additive Manufacturing

Pump users often find it difficult to source replacement parts for old or obsolete equipment. These parts may be subject to long delivery times or commercially unattractive terms.

In such cases, our re-engineering capabilities provide a competitive and reliable alternative with the added security that is fundamental to all Sulzer technology.

We extend these advantages beyond pumps to include a wide range of components, which can be re-engineered for compressors, turbines and valves of any age, produced by any manufacturer.

Using sophisticated 3D coordinate measuring equipment, we can fully model a part to a high degree of accuracy. The model is then used to generate manufacturing drawings for the replacement. Parts may be turned or cast. For castings, our patternless rapid prototyping technology reduces lead times to an absolute minimum.

Our technology allows you to incorporate design changes and material upgrades into the process to improve components originally produced many years ago.

Bespoke Solutions: Retrofit

When reliability, uptime and operating conditions push your assets to the brink, Sulzer says let’s look at retrofit. Sulzer believes that your pump is great and that we can make it better together. Through the OEM-X line Service by Sulzer we can offer retrofit upgrades for virtually any piece of rotating equipment. Beyond brand, model, application, or age. Optimize a piece of equipment as much as possible.

Field Services

Some crucial assets are too large to ship, or an outage may require onsite support. Sulzer goes where you are, anywhere. Our expertise moves beyond our service centers with rapid-deploy, 24/7 field service teams. When it comes to maintenance, the choice is between the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or an independentservice provider (ISP), but with OEM-X line it is possible to have the best of both worlds. Sulzer brings the capabilities, technology and solutions where and when you need it the most. Reliable, swift, ever-ready, anytime and anywhere.
