Tsurumi Pumps

When you need dependable submersible pumping in demanding conditions, Tsurumi is a trusted choice across dewatering, slurry, and wastewater applications.

At MacEwans, we supply and support a carefully selected range of Tsurumi pumps and wastewater equipment for customers across New Zealand. Whether you are managing site drainage, abrasive slurry, sewage transfer, or treatment processes, we can help you choose the right series for your duty, site conditions, and performance requirements.

With decades of industry experience and local support, we work with you to match the right pump to the job, not just supply a product. If you need help narrowing down the range, our team can guide you through flow, head, solids handling, and installation requirements.

What Tsurumi Pumps Are Used For

Tsurumi pumps are used across a wide range of dewatering, slurry, wastewater, and treatment applications. At MacEwans, we supply Tsurumi pumps for everything from general site drainage and low level water removal through to abrasive slurry handling, sewage transfer, and wastewater treatment support.

Dewatering Pumps

Tsurumi dewatering pumps are well suited to general site drainage, trench work, sump emptying, and low level water removal. The range includes options for portable drainage, compact spaces, residue removal, and heavier duty dewatering where dependable performance is important.

Deepwell and High Head Dewatering Pumps

For projects that involve pumping from greater depths or handling higher discharge heads, Tsurumi also offers deepwell and high head dewatering solutions. These pumps are better suited to applications where pumping depth, installation type, and pressure performance are key considerations.

Slurry and Sand Pumps

Where the job involves abrasive media such as slurry, silt, and sand laden water, Tsurumi offers pump ranges designed for tougher operating conditions. These pumps are built for duties where wear resistance, solids handling, and durability are essential, with the NKZ and GPN series commonly used for this type of work.

Sewage and Wastewater Pumps

Tsurumi sewage and wastewater pumps are used across a wide range of transfer and solids handling duties. The range includes channel impeller, cutter, vortex, and corrosion resistant options, giving you a choice of pump design depending on the liquid being handled and the site conditions.

Wastewater Screens and Mixers

Tsurumi also offers equipment for wastewater treatment processes where screening and mixing play an important role. The KM Series Screens, KE / KS / KW Series Screens, and MR Mixers are used in applications where solids removal and reliable mixing performance help support overall system efficiency.

Key Features of Tsurumi Pumps

Built for demanding conditions

Tsurumi pumps are built with durability in mind. Depending on the series, the range includes abrasion resistant wear parts, cast iron construction, high chromium iron components, and corrosion resistant materials such as stainless steel and resin. That gives you a stronger pump for tougher environments, whether wear resistance, corrosion resistance, or long term reliability matters most.

Designed to protect the motor

A key strength of the Tsurumi range is the way many models are designed to keep the motor protected during operation. Top discharge, flow-thru designs help cool the motor with the pumped liquid, while water jacket cooling is used on some slurry pumps to maintain efficient motor cooling even when the motor is exposed to air. This helps support reliable performance in more demanding conditions.

Strong solids handling performance

Tsurumi uses different impeller and hydraulic designs to suit different duties. That includes channel impeller, vortex, cutter, and agitator assisted designs, each aimed at improving solids handling and reducing the risk of clogging. This gives the range more flexibility when the job involves fibrous material, larger solids, or abrasive content that standard pump designs may struggle with.

Protection where it matters most

Our Tsurumi models include features designed to protect critical internal components. Anti-wicking cable protection, dual inside mechanical seals with silicon carbide faces, Oil Lifter technology, and water sensing within the seal chamber on parts of our range. Together, these features are aimed at reducing moisture ingress, improving seal lubrication, and supporting reliability in heavy duty service.

Built with efficiency and service life in mind

Tsurumi also places a strong focus on long term operating performance. IE3 premium efficiency motors, high performance hydraulics, and long life bearings designed for 100,000 working hours. That makes efficiency and service life a clear part of the engineering, not just an afterthought
