Sulzer’s API 610 Type VS1 and VS6 vertical turbine pumps are based on proven designs, continuously improved and optimized based on decades of operational experience. Sulzer's low Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) 1st stage, followed by unique high head per stage series hydraulics, minimize the number of stages required, reducing pump length and contractor’s associated civil costs.
Reduced number of stages results in shorter, more reliable pumps
Double suction on larger sizes can reduce pump length
High efficiency with reduced power consumption
Modular construction to fit project nozzle location requirements
High head per stage means process conditions can be reached with slower speeds
