Tsurumi Pump’s Avant MY and MQ Series Offer Wastewater Pumping for Straight-From-the-Box or Custom Solutions
Tsurumi Pump’s Avant MY and MQ Series deliver two distinct wastewater pumping solutions with reliability for explosion-proof applications. The Avant line was designed to meet the needs of facilities ranging from small municipal systems to large treatment plants with complex demands. Within the Avant line, the MY Series was designed for dependable performance with rapid availability, while the MQ Series was engineered for ultimate customization.
The MY Series: Proven Pumps with Fast Turnaround
The Avant MY Series brings Tsurumi’s durability to facilities that need dependable wastewater pumping performance with minimal downtime. Designed for industrial and municipal operations, the MY Series features readily available inventory, providing fast turnaround for operators who require FM-certified equipment for hazardous location use.
Each MY pump is built with a high-quality cast iron housing and double silicon carbide mechanical seals to ensure long-lasting durability. With motor outputs from 2.5 to 20 HP and discharge sizes from 2 to 4 inches, the MY Series efficiently handles solid-laden wastewater while minimizing clogging. Operators can select from four impeller types, open channel, chopper, vortex, and grinder, for flexibility across site conditions.
The MQ Series: Customized for Unique Plant Needs
The AVANT MQ Series is designed for large scale wastewater operations while offering full customization. These submersible pumps feature IE3 premium efficiency motors for energy savings, leading to lower operational costs while maintaining the standard of dependability.
The MQ Series is available in both wet and dry configurations, with the dry model utilizing Tsurumi’s exclusive closed-loop cooling system. This system cools the pump motor with a water-glycol mixture, without exposing it to wastewater. The MQ Series also includes FM certification for hazardous locations, anti-clogging hydraulic designs, and Molib-tech coating options for enhanced resistance to abrasion and cavitation.
With discharge sizes from 2 to 16 inches and motor outputs up to 215 HP, the MQ Series provides extensive configuration options, including multiple impeller and material combinations. Its' fully customizable platform is designed to adapt to site specific requirements, fluid types, and installation constraints.
Together, Tsurumi’s AVANT MY and MQ Series of pumps reflect the company’s commitment to innovation, reliability, and long-term value. The MY Series provides a quick, yet reliable, solution for smaller systems, while the MQ Series offers advanced customization for larger operations. Both series reflect Tsurumi’s dedication to durability, backed by more than a century of engineering expertise in wastewater applications.
Whether operators need a ready-to-ship pump that performs directly out of the box or a custom engineered product, Tsurumi’s AVANT line delivers solutions that perform reliably across a range of operations.
