Tsurumi: Pumps recently passed crash tests

Tsurumi machines for landscaping

Tsurumi has been building pumps exclusively for exactly 100 years. Over 500 models with a discharge head of up to 30 m³/min or 216 m are offered from the EU headquarters in Düsseldorf. The company is happy to put their performance to the test, for example in what was probably the second largest crash test: thrown from a height of 7 m or the second floor, two of the devices of interest to landscape gardeners survived the brutal fall almost unscathed.

These are models from the HS and LB series. Tsurumi is bringing them to the trade fair. The range starts with pumps that are so compact that they can fit behind a sheet of copy paper (the “Family-12”). They are also showing three-phase construction pumps such as the KTZ, a bestseller up to almost 4000 l/min, which is even used in tunnel construction. If there is no electricity, landscape gardeners like to use pumps with combustion engines. The TEM and TED series are for this purpose.

Flat suction pumps are also a must: The LSC is a reference pump that is valued worldwide – countless devices and fire departments use them to suck up water down to a residual level of one millimeter. How this works is demonstrated in wet live operation.
