LBA480 SUBMERSIBLE PUMP 110V

Tsurumi LBA480 Submersible Pump 110V

The Tsurumi LBA480 is a renowned, robust, and highly reliable submersible pump designed for challenging dewatering tasks in various professional and industrial settings. This 110V model is a staple in the construction, civils, and hire industries across the UK, trusted for its exceptional durability and consistent performance. Engineered by Tsurumi, a global leader in pump manufacturing, the LBA480 is built to withstand abrasive site water containing sand, silt, and small solids, making it ideal for pumping water from excavations, trenches, sumps, and other flooded areas. Its slimline design allows it to fit into narrow spaces, while its powerful motor and wear-resistant components ensure long-term, trouble-free operation even in demanding conditions.

Features

• Submersible Design: Fully immersible, allowing for efficient direct pumping from water-logged sites.
• 110V Operation: Compatible with standard 110V site power supplies common in UK construction and industrial environments.
• Robust Construction: Features a durable combination of materials, often including a rubber pump chamber, rubber wear plate, and a urethane vortex impeller, providing excellent resistance to wear from abrasive particles like sand and silt.
• High Performance: Delivers a strong flow rate (typically up to 225 litres per minute) and impressive head (up to 11 meters), ensuring rapid dewatering.
• Dual Position Outlet Port: Incorporates a unique dual-position outlet that allows the user to orient the discharge hose horizontally or vertically, preventing kinking and suiting various site requirements.
• Double Mechanical Seal: Equipped with an ultra hard-wearing silicon carbide double mechanical seal (running in an oil chamber) for superior durability and motor protection against water ingress.
• Patented Oil Lifter: Tsurumi's unique oil lifter device ensures continuous lubrication of the mechanical seal, even when the pump operates at very low water levels or for extended periods with intermittent water (snore conditions).
• Top Discharge & Motor Cooling: The top discharge design creates a water and air cooling channel around the motor, enabling efficient heat dissipation and allowing the pump to operate continuously at low water levels or even in "dry-run" conditions without overheating.
• Compact & Lightweight: Its slimline and relatively light design (approx. 10.4 kg) makes it highly portable and easy to deploy in confined spaces.
• Thermal Overload Protector: Built-in thermal protection safeguards the motor from damage due to overheating.
• "Hire Industry Standard": Widely regarded as a benchmark pump in the plant and tool hire sector due to its reliability and tough build.

Applications

The Tsurumi LBA480 Submersible Pump 110V is an indispensable tool for:

• Construction Site Dewatering: Pumping out foundations, excavations, and general site water.
• Civil Engineering: Managing water in trenches, culverts, and utility pits.
• Utilities: Drainage for manholes, cable trenches, and service ducts.
• Flood Control: Emergency removal of floodwater from basements, cellars, and other areas.
• Industrial Use: General water transfer in various industrial settings where dirty or abrasive water needs to be moved.
