Tsurumi pumps at work: Filling a public pool in 30 seconds*
Four gigantic Tsurumi dewatering pumps demonstrate their capabilities in a water sports facility. They could also fill an average public swimming pool – in just half a minute*.
However, an SSP-1350GS pump weighs 10 tonnes and is 5,4 metres long. With 350 kW motor power, it pushes 240 m3 of water through its 135 cm wide outlet every minute. That’s 4 m3 per second!
Four of these giants have been installed in Japan’s only artificial canoe slalom course facility. The 58 million euro Canoe Slalom Centre in Tokyo has a 200 x 10 metre (irregular) pool with an average depth of 1,5 metres. There, the pumps battle against a 4,5 metre slope, providing a lively spectacle for 7500 guests.
But these submersible pumps are not even the largest in the Tsurumi range, which in Europe alone includes more than 500 models of dewatering and sewage pumps with capacities of up to 30 m3/min or 216 m head – all available from stock. A wide selection will be on display at Tsurumi’s BAUMA stand A6.338, some of which in wet operation.
* Note: the 30 sec calculation is based on a typical swimming pool as found in municipal German indoor swimming facilities, measuring 25 x 12,5 metres and with an average depth of 1,8 metres.
