Aussie’s waste pump chops costs
SUBMERSIBLE pumps used to handle effluent and wastewater in pigger- ies must be able to operate clog-free.
Grinder pumps offer cost savings over conventional non-clog pumps because they reduce the size of the sol- ids passed using a ‘grinder’ process.
Tsurumi, the world leader in submersible pumps, has developed its MG series of grinder pumps for efficient effluent handling.
The pumps chop effluent passing through into small pieces to ensure the wastewa- ter passes through the pump, allowing the use of narrow discharge pipes.
Aussie Pumps product
manager Bob Massiah said Tsurumi’s breakthrough grinder design enables efflu- ent to be transferred through cost-effective 1.5” and 2” pipes, and at high pressures.
“This means the pumps de- liver higher heads for moving wastewater greater distanc- es,” he said.
“Chopping the solids into smaller pieces also means the waste breaks down faster and more efficiently.”
The grinder mechanism on the MG series uses a sintered tungsten carbide alloy tip that is brazed on the impel- ler vane.
This rotates against the ser- rated edge of the chromium iron suction cover, cutting fibrous matter, which can
then flow through the pump with ease.
“Tsurumi opted to use chromium iron and tungsten carbide for the grinder mech- anism over stainless steel for their hardness properties,” Massiah said.
“Our customers tell us these pumps simply outlast conventional long-column pumps yet cost less.”
The three-phase and single- phase cast iron pumps are available with 32mm and 50mm discharge ports.
The 50mm pump has a maxi- mum head of 35m (50psi) and a capacity of up to 320l/pm.
Tsurumi MG series pumps can be mounted on guide rails.
These make it simple to
remove the pumps for main- tenance and service without draining the pit.
Like all Tsurumi submers- ible pumps, the MG series includes features that extend the life and enhance reliabil- ity of the pump.
Significant design details make a big difference.
These include an anti-wick- ing cable entry that prevents water from entering the mo- tor if the power lead is dam- aged or the end of the cable is accidentally submerged.
A dual double silicon car- bide seal is standard on all models.
All seal surfaces are sub- merged in an oil chamber, away from the pumped liq- uid.
This ensures lubrication and protects against ingress of foreign materials.
The oil bath features a pat- ented ‘Oil Lifter’ that in- creases mechanical seal lon- gevity.
The lifter ensures both the upper and lower seals are lubricated and cooled, even if the oil level in the chamber is low.
“Tsurumi is the only com- pany we know of that will of- fer a three-year warranty on submersible sewage pumps,” Massiah said.
