Massive tunneling projects and heap leaching operations demand water transfer solutions of unprecedented scale. The Tsurumi LH12185D represents the pinnacle of high-volume dewatering technology, designed to handle the most extreme fluid management tasks on earth. When millions of liters need to be moved quickly, this pump delivers unmatched reliability.
Equipped with an astonishing 185 kW three-phase motor running on 415 V, the performance metrics are simply unparalleled. It achieves a maximum flow rate of 14000 L/Min and a maximum head of 85 m. This allows it to rapidly evacuate monumental volumes of water over significant distances, keeping the largest industrial sites dry and productive.
The core of this performance is the advanced double suction impeller, which ingests water from top and bottom to maximize throughput. Cast from high-chromium iron, it effortlessly passes 20mm abrasive solids. This dual-intake method perfectly balances the hydraulic forces, dramatically reducing the mechanical stress on the motor and shaft assembly.
This 1950 kg cast iron giant is engineered for continuous, heavy-duty service. It features dual inside mechanical seals protected by the patented OIL LIFTER, ensuring constant lubrication. To minimize downtime, bearing grease can be replaced via external plugs. Comprehensive motor protection is provided by advanced leakage sensors and galvanic anodes.
FEATURES
- Unrivaled fluid transfer rates made possible by the highly efficient, high-chromium double suction impeller design.
- The dual-intake system naturally equalizes internal pressures, drastically extending the life of the heavy-duty bearings.
- External grease fittings allow for rapid bearing servicing without the need to disassemble the massive pump body.
- Utilizes both float and electrode sensors to immediately alert operators to any moisture entering the seal chamber.
- Ensures the silicon carbide mechanical seal faces remain perfectly lubricated, even if the oil level fluctuates.
- Actively prevents electrochemical corrosion from deteriorating the cast iron casing in harsh, mineral-rich waters.
