High Lift Stage Casing Pumps
Sulzer Pumps
Sulzer Pumps combines more than
135 years of experience in pump
development and manufacturing
with a deep commitment to fully
understanding the needs of our
customers.
Our detailed process and
application knowledge has allowed
us to develop innovative pumping
solutions for our focus segments
HPH – High Lift Stage Casing Pumps
The HPH multistage pump is a ring
section pump, specifically
designed for mine dewatering
applications. Its robust
construction is designed to combat
the highly abrasive environment in
which it operates.
including tailor made systems if
required.
Our active research & development
supports the customer oriented
approach.
Sulzer Pumps has sales and
service facilities in all the major
markets of the world to provide fast
and flexible response and support.
Extensive use of replaceable wear Applications
surfaces ensures the pumps can be
rapidly refurbished to as-new HPH pumps are suitable for

turbines (modified design)
• for boiler feed duties up to
105ºC
Performance
Capacities up to 1000m3/h

Design Features
The HPH multistage horizontal
casing pump is available in 10
different standard sizes.
Casing
The stage casings are sealed
against each other by o-rings and
secured by external tiebolts.
Suction, discharge casings and
stage casings are designed with
individual feet below.
Branch Positions
The suction branch is positioned to
the right (viewed from the drive
end) and the discharge branch
upwards.
Alternative positions available upon
request.
Metrication
All selected screws and
accessories are supplied in metric
sizes, except for the connections.
Hydraulics and compensation
for axial thrust
The majority of sizes employ
special first stage impellers to
improve suction characteristics,
while all stages use matched
diffusers and overflow pieces.
Axial thrust is compensated by a
balancing disc.

A wear indicating limit switch is

fitted on the non-drive end to
monitor the amount of wear on the
balancing device.

Materials

The components of this range of pumps are manufactured as standard in

the following materials.

Materials
Casing Spheroidal Graphite (SG) Cast Iron 0.7040 to DIN 17007
Impellers Phosphor Bronze to BS 1400 PB1
Shafts Forged Alloy Steel BS970 Grade 826 M40 Condition U

Other materials are available subject to confirmation.

Wear resistant coatings can be applied to wearing parts on request.

ances. as standard with sealing water
injection to the suction gland.
The operating surfaces of both
balancing and counter discs are
fitted with replaceable wear rings.
The shaft, which is never in direct
contact with the water being
pumped, is fitted with sleeves in the
packed glands. It is protected by a
bush in the throttling bore leading to
the balancing device.

Condition Monitoring

Pump condition can be monitored by measuring pressure in the balance

disc assembly, this enables pump future life and efficiency to be
determined.

This monitoring service is available on request.
