SAER pumps for water and irrigation — official representative in Ukraine
Country: Italy
Year of foundation: 1951
Type of equipment: industrial pumps: submersible, multistage, split-case, waste water
Industries: water supply, irrigation, industry, mining, marine sector
SAER pumps are Italian submersible, multistage and surface pumps for clean water and waste water. The manufacturer is SAER Elettropompe S.p.A., based in Guastalla, province of Reggio Emilia.
Steiner Ukraine is the official representative of SAER in Ukraine. We select the pump for the operating duty, supply equipment and spare parts, and carry out installation and service.
What does SAER manufacture?
The company was founded by Carlo Favella in 1951. SAER manufactures its entire range of pumps and electric motors in Italy, at its own production sites in Emilia-Romagna.
The quality management system is certified to ISO 9001. Components are checked on test benches at every production stage, and finished pumps are tested in dedicated test rooms.
The range includes more than 800 pump types. SAER also produces 4″–12″ submersible motors and surface motors rated up to 110 kW.
Which SAER series does Steiner Ukraine supply?
| Group | Series | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Submersible borehole | 4″, 6″, 8″, 10″, 12″, 14″ | water lifting from boreholes, water supply, irrigation |
| Submersible ballast | BALLAST (SM252) | ballast systems, water intake from the bottom of tanks |
| Submersible waste water | SD | sewage lifting stations, drainage, sludge |
| Horizontal multistage | TM/TMB, OP | pressure boosting, boiler feed, irrigation, desalination |
| Vertical multistage | TMV, MK, MBSH | booster stations where floor space is limited |
| Split Case | SKD | high flows: water utilities, irrigation networks, firefighting |
| End-suction for waste water | NCA | waste water, sludge and slurry in dry installation |
| Self-priming motor pumps | AS | dewatering of excavations, irrigation without mains power |
How are SAER submersible pumps built?
A borehole unit consists of the hydraulic end and a submersible electric motor. The motor sits below the pump, and the water flowing along its casing removes heat.
The size in inches is the nominal borehole diameter the unit is designed for. SAER produces oil-filled 4″ and 6″ motors and water-filled 6″–12″ motors.
Impellers are either radial or semi-axial. Radial lines (NR, NS, VR) are designed for high head. Semi-axial lines (S, VS) deliver higher flow within the same diameter.
Most lines have a check valve integrated into the delivery fitting. For installation in an open tank or a large-diameter borehole, a cooling jacket is used.
How do SAER multistage pumps work?
Several impellers are mounted in series on one shaft. Each impeller adds head while the flow stays the same. The number of stages determines the pump head.
Horizontal pumps (TM/TMB, OP) are easier to service, while vertical pumps (TMV, MK, MBSH) need less floor space. TM is end-suction; TMB has two shaft supports and side suction.
Which materials does SAER use?
| Material | Where it is used |
|---|---|
| Cast iron | standard version for clean water |
| Ductile iron | pump casings of TM/TMB, TMV, SKD, NCA |
| Stainless steel | potable water, more corrosive water; investment-cast AISI 304 in VR140 |
| Bronze | sea water: S lines, SKD pumps |
| Super Duplex | sea water, desalination plants, offshore platforms |
Impellers and diffusers in many lines are investment-cast. The manufacturer specifies higher wear resistance for these parts.
Where are SAER pumps used?
The manufacturer lists agriculture and irrigation, municipal water supply, industry, mining, the marine sector and offshore platforms.
Typical duties are lifting water from boreholes, pressure boosting in networks, irrigation, boiler feed, desalination, dewatering and waste-water transfer.
How does Steiner Ukraine select a SAER pump?
Selection requires the flow and head at the duty point, the composition and temperature of the liquid, sand or solids content, and the power supply parameters. For boreholes we also need the dynamic water level and the casing inner diameter.
Based on this data we determine the series, number of stages, material and motor. Steiner Ukraine supplies industrial pumps across Ukraine, provides spare parts and offers services including installation, commissioning, diagnostics and repair. The company has worked in the industrial equipment market since 2006.
FAQ
Where are SAER pumps made?
In Italy. SAER manufactures its entire range of pumps and motors at its own sites in Emilia-Romagna and has never moved production abroad.
What is the difference between the S and VS submersible lines?
Both use semi-axial impellers. VS is the newer high-efficiency line. Besides cast iron, stainless steel and Super Duplex, the S lines are also available in bronze.
Can SAER pumps be run on a variable frequency drive?
Yes. Submersible pumps can be fitted with PE+PA wound motors for drive operation. MK and OP pumps can be supplied with a motor-mounted drive up to 18.5 kW.
Does SAER make 60 Hz pumps?
Yes, most series are available in 50 Hz and 60 Hz versions. Performance data on the series pages is given for 50 Hz.
