The 615 is the largest model in the KTZ series that now comprises 15 models. Thanks to a motor output of 15kW, the aggregate achieves up to 2,800l/min with discharge heads of almost 40m. In contrast, the 415 with the same motor pumps 2,000 litres but up to a maximum height of 55m.

Both pumps can cope with sandy water, groundwater and rainwater. The water may also contain stones with grain diameters of up to 12mm. The pumps are pressure-resistant to a submersion depth of 25m and have a pressure port with a diameter of four (model 415) and/or six (mode 65) inches on the outside thread.

Tsurumi hinted that it also has another innovation under wraps, although customers will have to wait until April for the unveiling.
