“In recent months there has been a noticeable rise in requests for pumps with strengthened cables that can withstand the hardships of modern construction and mining,” says Stefan Hörnschemeyer, marketing manager of Tsurumi Europe. According to the company, rupturing a pump cable is the most common cause of pump equipment failure, particularly in quarries and mines, due to the rugged conditions, lack of light and use of heavy machinery. As excavation goes deeper and machinery gets bigger, the problem can be exacerbated. Tsurumi’s NSSHÖU cable is designed for a long life in extreme conditions. It is suitable for very high mechanical stress and has a tensile strength of 15 N/mm2. It is well insulated and can withstand extreme heat and cold. The cable is ozone resistant, which stops the formation of cracks, and is bright yellow to improve visibility. It is available for both three-phase and single-phase pumps. The cable is suitable for surface mining, quarries, stone pits and general construction.
