Sulzer Sulzer ABS XFP
Sulzer ABS XFP submersible wastewater pumps, with IE3 motor and ContraBlock, closed-channel or skew impellers, sizes from 80 to 800 mm.
The ABS XFP is Sulzer's series of submersible pumps for municipal and industrial wastewater, fitted with a high energy-efficiency motor, class IE3. Hydraulic sizes range from 80 to 800 mm, flows reach 2,400 l/s and heads 80 m (50 Hz), and motor powers 1.3–550 kW. The free solids passage is at least 75 mm, and the available impellers include ContraBlock, closed channel, skew, vortex and cutter, depending on size. The series is installed in a wet well on a pedestal with a guide rail, as a transportable unit, or in a dry well.
For a quotation we need the full code from the pump nameplate (for example XFP 205J, followed by the impeller type and the motor designation), the motor power and the mains frequency. If the pump is to go onto an existing pedestal and guide rail, please send us the type and the discharge diameter and, if possible, photos of the nameplate and of the coupling part; we confirm the variant and accessories in the manufacturer's documentation before quoting. Delivery takes 24–72 h when the item is available locally or at the supplier; on order, the lead time is normally 1–4 weeks.

Frequently asked questions
How do I identify the XFP pump on site?
The full code is on the pump nameplate and contains the hydraulic size (for example XFP 205J), the impeller type and the motor designation. Send us a photo of the nameplate; without it, we need the motor power, the mains frequency and the discharge diameter.
Can I replace an old pump without changing the pedestal and guide rail?
A previous pump can be replaced by using an adapter bracket, provided the discharge diameter is the same. We confirm the specific compatibility from the documentation before quoting.
Do you also offer coupling parts or guide rails for this series?
Yes, on request, based on the code and the dimensions of the existing installation. Please send us the pump type, the discharge diameter and photos of the existing parts.
The ABS AS and Piranha designations and the codes of coupling parts or guide rails are identified from the pump nameplate and the manufacturer's documentation. The flow and head data refer to the whole series; values per model are confirmed on the code.
