Benefits

 

Durability isn’t exciting. But it does minimize downtime, maximize the pump’s lifetime and lower the total cost of ownership of your pump.

In an industrial process, AHLSTAR is often the longest-standing piece of equipment. However demanding the application, the pump works around the clock, year in, year out.

  • Design features that help meet the requirements of the most demanding industrial applications
  • Superior product selection to resist wear and corrosion
  • A wide product portfolio with a wide variety of sizes and hydraulics for all industrial applications
  • Special features that open up new levels of reliability for a wide array of applications
  • Sulzer’s in-house experience and expertise help customers to optimize their processes

Efficiency doesn't get the pulse racing. But it does improve productivity, minimize downtime and lower operational costs.

The best kinds of process pumps are the ones that offer outstanding energy efficiency and a wide selection of advanced materials. They are the pumps that run 24/7. The pumps that experience near-zero downtime. Impeccable efficiency may not be exciting. But, when you consider that energy usage accounts for over 90% of total cost of ownership, it is essential.

  • Maximized energy efficiency and optimized material selection for a low total cost of ownership
  • Minimized sealing water consumption
  • Efficient spare part inventory thanks to interchangeability and modularity
  • Long maintenance intervals

Sustainable performance. A circular approach. Everyone says that, right? But AHLSTAR has the credentials to back it up.

Maximum energy efficiency? Check. Optimized material selection? You bet. Minimized sealing water consumption? Absolutely. Planning ahead can be the difference between a pump solution that will cause problems down the line and one that will bring lifetime benefits – for your business and for the planet. Banking on the future requires vision. It requires patience.

  • High energy efficiency for a smaller carbon footprint and lower total cost of ownership.
  • Repairability and exceptional durability for a longer lifecycle
  • 99% material recyclability to support circular economy
