Tsurumi Pump (West Hall #12155) plays a vital role in various environments where increased reliability and safety is paramount. Engineered to withstand harsh conditions, Tsurumi’s durable pumps excel in dewatering mines, quarries and pits, ensuring uninterrupted functionality.
In mines, these pumps often handle high volumes of water containing abrasive particles. Tsurumi’s pumps are designed to meet these challenges, featuring continuous duty motors, high chromium impellers and adjustable wear rings.
Tsurumi offers a variety of electric submersible dewatering solutions for mining with impressive capacities and convenient package sizes, ranging from slimline and portable to larger cast iron designs. Additionally, these pumps are built to be the toughest on the market, resulting in uninterrupted operations.
Tsurumi’s larger, high-head and high-volume dewatering pumps are specifically used to deliver assured performance for the mining sector. A key feature of these pumps is their ability to draw large volumes of water from both the upper and lower sides of the double suction impeller, reducing thrust loads and increasing the stability of pumping operations.
The GSZ Series, for instance, comprises high-volume dewatering pumps designed to move large amounts of mud, slurry and gravel continuously, 24 hours a day. These units can handle up to 5,000 GPM, making them suitable for the most demanding dewatering applications.
The three-phase GSZ-150-4 pump is the highest-class model of the series, renowned for quickly drawing significant amounts of water and slurry. It delivers a maximum head of 230 ft and a flow of 5020gpm. Equipped with a wear-resistant impeller and high-chromium cast iron, it is built for side discharge via a spiral flow route that ensures smooth passage of solids. The motor is encased in a water jacket to keep it cool when running at low water levels for extended periods.
Tsurumi’s booth at MINExpo will feature stainless steel and titanium pumps manufactured to withstand heavy acidic runoff that can quickly degrade equipment–a common issue in mining. These materials provide increased wear resistance from the impeller to the wet ends, making them ideal for abrasive applications.
