Tsurumi Pumps Revolutionises the Mining Industry

Announcement posted by Pump Solutions Australasia 04 Aug 2017

Pump Solutions Australasia is proud to distribute the Tsurumi Tandem Kit which allows users to connect two pumps and create double the head.
Perth, WA, 03 August 2017 - When submersible pumps are mentioned, Tsurumi is a name that often comes to mind. They are one of the leading manufacturers of pumps in the world and their submersible pumps are known as some of the best in the industry.

Tsurumi Pumps and the Mining Industry

Tsurumi pumps are often used in the mining industry for drainage operations. Drainage operations require submersible pumps with increasingly large heads. One of the more prevalent problems in the industry up to now has been a necessity for installing increasingly larger pumps as the head requirements increase.

This has proven to be expensive and time-consuming. In addition, space is often at a premium in mining operations. Because of this, it is necessary to use pumps that are compact and don't require large amounts of space. Up until now, this has been problematic. However, tsurumi pumps have developed what they feel is a game-changing solution for the problem of producing heads that are high enough for the demand of the job: the Tsurumi Tandem Kit.

The Tsurumi Tandem Kit Increases Head by Connecting Pumps in Series

The Tsurumi Tandem Kit allows users to connect two identical pumps in series. The principal is the same principle that is used in multistage pumps. Running two pumps in tandem can double the amount of head that can be produced by the pumps.

When two pumps with a head capacity of 127m are connected in series, they can produce 254m of head. Tsurumi even offers a configuration whereby two pumps that are connected with some optional features can produce 400m of head.

Tsurumi Pumps: the Resume

The Tsurumi Manufacturing Company LTD was established in Osaka in 1924. Their reputation for manufacturing submersible pumps with high power, high head capacity, high quality and high durability has elevated them to the top of their industry. They produce a wide variety of submersible pumps, from simple residential pumps to giant pumps used for mining and construction drainage operations.

Mike Hurlbatt is the owner of Pump Solutions Australasia, the Western Australia distributor of Tsurumi Pumps. According to Mr Hurlbatt:

“We import the finest pumps from around the world because we know that our customers need high-quality and cannot afford downtime. We have found Tsurumi pumps to be among the best pumps in the world, especially in the category of submersible pumps. We are excited about the Tsurumi Tandem Kit because it allows mining operations to have double the head without using clunky, expensive replacements and trying to cram them into spaces that are too small.”

Mr Hurlbatt concluded: “Tsurumi pumps were already one of the most popular Solutions for mining drainage operations. With the addition of the Tsurumi Tandem Kit, one of the best brands in the world has just become even better.”
