Importer of Tsurumi submersible pumps in Australia reveals how the addition of 15 kW pumps will help elevate the KTZ Series even further.
Perth, WA, 19 April 2018 - Since 1924, Tsurumi have been making submersible pumps for numerous industrial applications. According to many in the pump business, they have built a reputation as the best manufacturers for submersible pumps in the world.

The KTZ Series submersible pump has been regarded as their flagship model. It is extremely popular around the world for heavy duty applications, such as mining and construction. Recently, Tsurumi announced two major additions to their already popular KTZ Series: the KTZ415 and the KTZ615.

The KTZ415 is a four inch pump with 15 kW motor output and the KTZ615 is a six inch pump with a 15 kW motor output. With the addition of these two pumps, the KTZ Series now offers pumps with motor outputs ranging from 1.5 kW to 15 kW. They have a maximum capacity of 2.8m3/min. Their maximum head is 55 m.

The KTZ Series is built for maximum durability, with high chromium, cast iron impellers. The body is solid cast iron. The end result is a pump that provides maximum wear resistance and maximum durability.

Their slim design allows them to be installed in many different places. They are top discharge, side flow pumps, which allows them to operate even when water levels are low and air gets inside the pump.

KTZ Series pumps are rated highly for continuous and heavy duty, along with a high level of reliability. Their design allows them to withstand the most harsh conditions that operations like mining and construction have to offer. Tsurumi KTZ Series pumps can also be configured for either inclined discharge or vertical discharge with a simple wrench.

Many features that would be “extras” for pumps from other manufacturers are standard equipment on the KTZ Series. This includes: silicon carbide-faced mechanical seals, an oil lifter, an anti-wicking cable and a motor protector. In addition, KTZ Series pumps 7.5 kW and stronger are equipped with seal pressure relief ports. These ports are built into the pump unit and help reduce pressure on the mechanical seals.

The KTZ Series design also includes double bearings which are located on the bottom of the pump. They are designed to provide countermeasure against thrust load, which can cause pump failure if left unchecked. Each shaft subjected to a quenching treatment to make it more durable.
