ContraBlock PlusSpecifically engineered to handle tough challenges of high rag and solid content, a consequence of water conservation efforts. |
 |
 |
ContraBlock EvoThe next innovative step to improve non-clog behavior handling higher rag and solid content. The ContraBlock Evo uses unique vane geometry and Pulse-Out technology for highly efficient solids passage. |
VortexFeaturing a large passage for solids, vortex impellers are perfect for pumping liquids with gas, sand, or low flow/high head requirements. They’re commonly used in small pumping stations in rural areas due to their clog-resistant nature. |
 |
 |
ChannelChannel impellers are perfect for liquids without fibers. For wastewater with fibers, their suitability depends on the pump size and can be determined using Sulzer’s ABSEL wastewater pump selection program. |
SkewSkew impellers excel in handling sewage at large pumping stations. Their semi-open, mixed-flow design combines the advantages of axial and centrifugal impellers, allowing for a large solids passage. |

ChopperChopper impellers are specifically designed to address the challenge of long or bulky waste materials by cutting them into manageable pieces. |
High-grade stainless steel submersible sewage pump type ABS XFP SX
Durable and corrosion-resistant
High-grade stainless steel (duplex / super duplex) is increasingly in demand for XFP pumps, especially in corrosive environments like seawater and industrial wastewater. This material offers a longer lifespan compared to cast iron, making it the preferred choice for applications with corrosive media.
Duplex stainless steel offers enhanced durability and corrosion resistance for many applications, while super duplex stainless steel is the standard choice for seawater applications due to its superior corrosion resistance.
