Exceeding expectations: our record-breaking process pump range
The SNS end-suction pump has been designed to exceed the highest energy efficiency regulations across all industries and also the design requirements of ISO 5199 international standard. The innovative design makes this centrifugal pump more reliable while significantly reducing total cost of ownership.
The SNS process pump range not only meets the ErP 0.4 (Energy-related Products) criteria, but breaks all records by exceeding MEI 0.7 level (Minimum Efficiency Index)
The highest efficiency on the process pump market providing clear savings in energy consumption
Highest hydraulic power on the process pump range. The SNS pump provides increased flow and a higher head than a conventional pump
Low energy consumption due to high efficiency
Low spare part costs due to high standardization
Low installation and maintenance costs due to easy installation and unique design
Main applications
SNS end-suction process pumps are used in a wide variety of general and industrial applications to pump
Innovative, high efficiency, low NPSHr (Net Positive Suction Head required) impeller
Optimized shaft sealing chamber and innovative patent pending balancing holes guarantee ideal conditions for the shaft seal maximizing its life time
Innovative and reliable patent pending integrated Sulzer mechanical seals for trouble-free shaft sealing
Heavy-duty, rigid and compact bearing units with long bearing life and leakage-free construction
All pumps in the SNS end-suction process pump range have been standardized, using common modules and components. Fewer parts means greater process reliability and lower spare parts inventory costs.
The customer was running slurry pumps in a simple mine dewatering application, but wanted increased capacity and efficiency to reduce costs in the mine. The installation of Sulzer's high-efficiency SNS process pump gave remarkable annual energy savings.
FS - Fueling Sustainability, located near Lucas do Rio Verde, Mato Grosso, is the first corn-only ethanol plant in Brazil. The production started in 2017 with an initial capacity of 250 million liters per year. The facility utilizes the latest process technologies from ICM, an innovative company headquartered in Colwich, KS, USA that has become a world leader in biorefining technologies and processes. In addition to bioethanol, some high-value coproducts such as corn oil as well as high-protein and high-fiber dried distiller’s grains are produced. The plant also generates electricity from the biomass, partly for internal use and the surplus for sale.
Pumps play a critical role in all mining operations and they are, therefore, among the most important equipment in a mine. In this article we explain why. Read the article.
Pumps are at the heart of phosphate fertilizer production, and correct equipment selection that takes into consideration hydraulic design, materials of construction, application knowledge, duty point and maintenance regime are critical to achieving reliable long-term pumping operation and maximum plant production. Read the whole article.
Pumping systems account for more than 20% of the world’s electrical energy demand, and in certain industrial plant operations they can be responsible for between 25% and 90% of the energy usage. Improving the energy efficiency of the pumping system will reduce production costs and support green credentials. Read the whole article.
Industrial customers require insights into the behavior of their assets to proactively plan maintenance across their production facilities. This is commonly referred to as ‘condition monitoring’ and achieved by measuring and trending operational parameters such as bearing unit temperature and vibration that give an indication of the asset’s condition.

The mining, quarrying and construction industries present some of the most challenging applications encountered by pumps. The range of process fluids handled varies quite significantly across these processes, ranging from clear water to heavy slurries and from alkaline, pH neutral to highly corrosive fluids. As well as having to deal with the process requirements, products must also be compliant with the environmental and legislative constraints in play across geographies. Read the whole article.
