Submersible Dewatering Pumps KTD Series

The KTD series is a submersible heavy-duty slurry pump utilizing the KTZ series as the base. It is designed to have more motor shaft power allowance than the KTZ to handle muddy water with higher specific gravities. An agitator suspends solids to assist in pumping sediments in combination with a dedicated strainer. This pump is suitable for transferring or draining bentonite slurry.

Available as optional specifications are an original “seawater-resistant pump” developed over many years by Tsurumi to enable seawater intake/drainage for long periods of time, and an “all stainless steel pump” using 316 stainless steel for mining markets.

MODEL NUMBER DESIGNATION

OPTIONS

Seawater-Resistant Version

Tsurumi’s pumps can be combined with a seawater-resistant kit (optional) that adds a “galvanic anode” and “seawater-resistant special cast iron impeller,” and enables about two years of service. (The service period depends on operating conditions.)

High Temperature Liquids Version

Tsurumi’s pumps are applicable to high temperature liquids of up to 90°C. Pumps of the standard specification can discharge liquids of up to 40°C. However, there are many fields that need to discharge higher temperature liquids, e.g., discharging industrial water from a power plant or ironworks, or discharging hot spring water from a mine in a volcanic zone.

High Voltage Version

Tsurumi’s pumps can be manufactured to between 380 – 1000V ratings that are often required for mining applications. The pumps meet mining safety standards as they come with screened cables and motors with built-in diodes for ground-fault checks.

All Stainless Steel Version

All of the parts of Tsurumi’s pumps that contact fluid, including the impeller, pump casing, motor frame, strainer stand, and hose coupling, can be made in 316 stainless steel. Tsurumi’s all stainless steel pump can handle corrosive fluids generated in mines or quarries, and chemical fluids of low pH value

TOP DISCHARGE, SIDE FLOW DESIGN

This design assures efficient motor cooling even if the pump runs with its motor exposed to air, and also allows the overall diameter of the pump to be reduced for installation in confined spaces

Can be configured for inclined or vertical discharge, allowing for smoother installation.

Prevents water incursion due to capillary action should the cable sheath be damaged or the end of cable submerged. Also prevents moist air from infiltrating the motor housing and condensation from forming inside the housing due to temperature differences between the housing and outside air.

Prevents unexpected water incursion that can occur if the cable is damaged, by protecting the cable against the tugging and rough handling found at construction sites.

Directly cuts the motor circuit if excessive heat builds up or overcurrent occurs in the motor.

Quenching treatment is applied to parts that contact particles in pumped fluids and whose mechanical seal may wear out, to enhance surface hardness and extend shaft service life.

Isolated in the oil chamber where a clean, non-corrosive and abrasion-free lubricating environment is maintained. Compared with the water-cooled outside mechanical seal, it reduces the risk of failure caused by dry-heating and adhering matter. The silicon carbide provides 5 times higher corrosion, wear and heat resistance than the tungsten carbide. Rubber parts of the upper and lower fixing rings are made of NBR or FPM (FKM), which provides higher resistance to heat and chemicals.

Provides lubrication and cooling of the seal faces down to 1/3 of normal oil level, thus maintaining a stable shaft sealing effect and prolonging seal life longer. The Oil Lifter is Tsurumi original design.

Protect the mechanical seal from pump pressure. They also protect the seal face by discharging wear particles.

Used as a “Dust Seal”, it protects the mechanical seal from abrasive particles.

Equipped to provide a better countermeasure against wear caused by high pressure generated in the casing and improve the maintainability.

Resists wear caused by abrasive particles and enables the pump to maintain its original performance for an extended period of time.

Consists of a shaft-mounted agitator and a dedicated strainer. The agitator made of high-chromium cast iron resists wear caused by abrasive particles, and it suspends solids to assist in pumping sediments in combination with the strainer.

Electrode Control Device (KTZE)

Consisting of an electric probe and relay unit, this enables automatic operation, reduces power consumption and extends operating life.

Automatic Drainage Pumps with Electrode Control Device

Contributing to reduction of power consumption, prevention of dry-running and extension of operating life.

Example of use of automatic pumps in an underground car park

Simply connect the pumps to a power supply for automatic operation.
By setting up multiple Tsurumi automatic pumps at different height levels, these pumps prevent damage caused by submersion in flood water resulting from heavy rain. These pumps do not require any complex setting or installation work. Installation is as easy as positioning the pumps and connecting them to a power supply. If flooding occurs and the water level increases, the pumps automatically start pumping out water.

Automatic Operation

Electrode Control Device

Tsurumi has developed a unique automatic control device utilizing an electrode. It consists of an electric probe and relay unit. When the water level rises to contact the electric probe, electric continuity is produced between the electrode and the pump body, and the relay unit built into the pump turns on the pump.

The relay unit includes a timer function. The pump stops automatically in about one minute after the water surface falls below the electric probe. If the water level rises again to contact the electric probe within the run time, the pump continues to run for one more minute.

Since this mechanism eliminates dry-running, the pump can reduce power consumption by up to 40 percent compared with non-automatic pumps (Tsurumi comparison). It also prevents chattering caused by a turbulent water surface and extends operating life.

It is possible to set a lower starting water level by using an extension probe (optional accessory). The starting water level is adjustable because the extension probe can be cut to the desired length as it is made of coil spring.

KTD -Slurry Pumps with Agitator-

The KTD-series is a submersible three-phase cast iron heavy-duty slurry pump
It is equipped with an agitator that assists smooth suction of the settled matters. The pump parts such as the impeller and the suction cover are made of wear-resistant materials. The top discharge, side flow design assures efficient motor cooling even when it operates with its motor exposed to air. The slim design allows the pump to be placed in a confined space.
