Heavy Duty Slurry Pumps

Type Ensival Moret EMW

Heavy Duty Slurry Pumps Type Ensival Moret EMW

The EMW pump range has been designed considering historic field experience, coupled with the
latest in CFD (computational fluid dynamics) technologies and finite element analysis, to create the
latest in slurry pumping technology. The pump range offers high hydraulic efficiencies for optimized
wear life performance in difficult solids handling applications.

Main Applications
The EMW pump range has been designed to ensure trouble-free operation in
the most difficult processes in the following industrial applications:
• Mining and mineral processing
• Aggregates (sand and gravel)
• Power (bottom ash, lime slurry for flue gas desulphurization (FGD))
• Food industry
• Wastewater
• Chemical slurries

Key Customer Benefits

Sulzer’s EMW pumps offer high reliability and durability. The heavy-duty design combined with high
performance make the pumps more reliable while significantly reducing the total cost of ownership.
Key benefits include:

High durability High reliability

• Wide range of high-quality materials (metallic as well • Heavy-duty bearings offer LB10 bearing life of more
as rubber) ensures exceptional endurance against than 50 000 hours
wear in all pumping applications for abrasive and/or • Only one bearing bracket per pump type,
corrosive liquids impermeable to water flushing IP 56
• High durability due to great thickness of casing and
impeller extends the lifetime of the pump bringing Minimized total cost of ownership (TCO)
savings in spare parts consumption and total cost of • Low energy consumption due to high efficiency
ownership (TCO) • Low operational cost due to high reliability
• Easy and quick installation and maintenance
Maximum efficiency • Low spare parts cost due to high standardization
• Optimized hydraulics ensure high efficiency and between EMW-M and EMW-R
minimized wear in the largest operating range
• Internal clearance adjustments are easily and quickly
realizable, which allows to obtain the best efficiency
throughout the lifetime of the pump
• Low NPSH over the entire operating range avoiding
cavitation of pumps
