Specialists in the field

At the forefront of high quality component manufacturing, Sulzer's 3D printing capabilities will be on show, a manufacturing method the business utilizes to create high performance components such as turbine blades. 3D printing presents expedited production compared to traditional casting, offering reduced lead times. This is especially important in minimizing customer downtime.

Sulzer will also have a compressor rotor on display to highlight its comprehensive maintenance services. The business offers turnkey support for these components, incorporating inspection, design, production of new parts, testing and balancing. The showcase will also feature the first three stages of the compressor rotor coated in Sulzer's in-house anti-fouling and corrosion protection air spray coating. Sulzer offers a range of in-house thermal and air spray coatings for a variety of applications that benefit from improved durability and performance.

Expanding expertise

A number of new business developments at Sulzer will generate plenty of interest at the show.


First, the recent acquisition of the Ensival Moret pump business by Sulzer offers end users within the water, general industry, oil & gas and power industry a more integrated specification path for pump solutions. By joining forces, Sulzer is now one of the world's leading manufacturers of axial loop reactor pumps for the polyethylene and polypropylene industries together with other specialized designs for challenging molten sulfur and sulfuric acid services. The new, combined portfolio and organization provide customers with a singular point of contact for an optimum technical and commercial approach to specifying pumps in the sector.


Sulzer has also purchased a majority stake in Rotec GT, a Moscow-based maintenance business focused on gas turbine maintenance. The new collaboration greatly enhances Sulzer's capabilities in Russia to serve end users in the power generation industry. The business offers refurbishment facilities for gas turbine components located in Moscow and Ekaterinburg, which will greatly enhance Sulzer's service coverage in the region.
