Tsurumi pumps at work: Filling a public pool in 30 seconds

• Four Tsurumi SSP-1350GS dewatering pumps showcased their capabilities at a water sports facility.

• Each SSP-1350GS pump weighs 10 tonnes, measures 5.4 meters in length, and has a 350 kW motor pushing 240 m³ of water per minute.

• These pumps are installed at Tokyo's Canoe Slalom Centre, a 58 million euro facility with a 200 x 10 meter pool.

• The pumps handle a 4.5-meter slope, creating a dynamic environment for up to 7500 spectators.

• Tsurumi's range includes over 500 models of dewatering and sewage pumps, with capacities up to 30 m³/min or 216 m head, available in Europe.

Four gigantic Tsurumi dewatering pumps demonstrate their ca-pabilities in a water sports facility. They could also fill an aver-age 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.
