SULZER AH Series Axial Flow Pump

SULZER

Axial flow pumps, also known as elbow or propeller pumps, are used in applications requiring high flow rates and low head. Sulzer offers a wide range of low and high-pressure, horizontal and vertical axial flow pumps specifically designed to meet demanding pumping conditions.

Sulzer Ensival Moret AH model high-pressure loop reactor circulation pumps are specifically designed for the circulation of polyethylene and polypropylene slurry; long-term uninterrupted operation of the reactor loop increases productivity, and it is not uncommon to find applications where AH model pumps operate for more than 5 years between revisions. Main application areas are the polyolefin industry, slurry-phase polypropylene (PP), and slurry-phase polyethylene (PE) applications.
