Tsurumi KTZ615 high head submersible pump

Dirty water submersible pumps are not normally designed for high head applications. The Tsurumi KTZ615 uses a 15 kW motor to achieve higher head performance of 55 m with a maximum flow of 2800 L/min. The head is achieved with a single-piece impeller made from high-chrome cast iron.

The pump has double dual mechanical seals with an integrated oil lifter. The seals run in oil to provide greater longevity and performance reliability. The oil lifter keeps oil circulating even if the pump is not running in a strictly vertical position.

A pressure relief port protects the mechanical seal faces from extreme pressure while simultaneously diverting abrasive particles away from the seal face, making the pump suitable for mining applications.

The cable entry has a sealed gland that won’t let water into the motor even if the cable is damaged or cut. The KTZ is made from high-chrome cast iron and comes with a strainer that is able to handle solids up to 12 mm. The KTZ series is widely used in mining, tunnelling, quarries or concrete batch plant applications and piling duties.
