Tsurumi Pumps
Tsurumi submersible pumps for sewage, wastewater and dewatering.
Tsurumi makes submersible pumps for two broad markets: sewage and wastewater, and dewatering for construction, mining and industry.
Tsurumi sewage and wastewater pumps
Tsurumi's sewage range includes the B, BK and BZ series for raw sewage and solids, C series cutter pumps that shred solids, and the U and UT/UTZ series for wastewater and effluent.
Tsurumi dewatering pumps
Dewatering series such as the KTZ, KTV, KRS, GSZ and LH handle construction sites, excavations, mines and abrasive water.
Selection tips
For wastewater, match the impeller or cutter to the solids. For dewatering, check the head and flow and whether the water is abrasive. For all pumps, confirm the power supply and cable length and any need for automatic float operation.
Sizing considerations
- Flow (GPM): estimate peak inflow to the basin or wet well. For effluent dosing, use the dose volume and dosing time set by the system design.
- Total dynamic head (TDH): add the static lift (vertical rise from pump-off level to the discharge point) to friction losses in the pipe, fittings and valves. Choose a pump whose curve crosses your system curve near its best-efficiency range.
- Solids: clear water, effluent, raw sewage or fibrous waste each need a different impeller or cutter. Match the pump's solids-handling rating to the liquid.
- Power supply: confirm voltage and phase (115/230 V single-phase or 208/230/460 V three-phase) and whether start components sit in the pump or the control panel.
- Basin and controls: basin size, pump-down volume, float or level-sensor setup, and a high-water alarm.
- Environment: corrosive or abrasive liquids may call for stainless steel. Classified (hazardous) locations need explosion-proof, approved motors where the code requires them.
- Codes and permits: onsite septic and lift station work is regulated locally. Follow the approved design and local requirements.
Frequently asked questions
Does Tsurumi make cutter pumps?
Yes. Tsurumi's C series pumps use a cutter to shred solids in sewage and wastewater.
