The new Tsurumi 'Poma' submersible pump produces an exceptionally large flow from its 150W motor, making it ideal for many industrial applications. It is especially suited for pumping needs within narrow sumps where a traditional pendant type float switch could be fouled. Constructed from reinforced plastic and stainless steel, 'Poma' pumps are highly resistant to corrosion and rust and will pump water to a maximum head of 5.5m.

Outlet size is 50mm with a maximum flow rate of 250 litres per minute.

The optional integral tube float switch provides start and stop levels of 285mm and 175mm respectively and the vortex impeller gives generous 35mm suspended solids handling.

Other features include a 403 stainless steel shaft fitted with an ultra hardwearing silicon carbide double mechanical seal installed in an oil chamber to give efficient, long-life sealing; automatic motor protection and an air release valve to prevent air locks; a common occurrence with other competitive pumps in its class.

The 'Poma' can be offered with or without float switch in 110 and 230V versions and comes with a generous 1-metre cable in HO7 rubber for indoor or outdoor use.

Overall dimensions (mm) are 225L x 183W x 354H.

Low power consumption from the highly efficient 150W (output) motor makes it ideal for continuous running applications.

Tsurumi submersible pumps are available from UK agents, Obart Pumps and their MD, Matthew Hill states: 'A large part of our business has resulted from the ability of Tsurumi pumps to operate reliably in the most arduous of conditions.

I am convinced that the introduction of the new 'Poma' will strengthen that position and, for those especially needing to pump within restricted space, we will offer this particular pump with confidence'.

The 'Poma' can be seen on the Obart website, or further information can be had from the Obart Pumps sales office in the UK.
