IE3 Premium Efficiency Motors
The heart of the AVANT line lies in its premium-efficiency, IE3 electric motors, designed for continuous duty while reducing energy consumption. The MQ Series of pumps and the MMR series of Mixers are both equipped with the IE3 premium efficiency motors. This meets the requirements of NEMA Class A and Class H insulation for all models in the range. The AVANT line offers S1 duty mode operation even in water at a temperature up to 104°F.

Anti-Clog Hydraulic Design
The AVANT All hydraulic components are designed for the highest efficiency and the best performance while still ensuring ample free passage. All models with open channel impeller feature an axial adjustment system allowing the impeller clearance to be restored. This feature maintains performance even as components wear over time. One of the biggest problems, in wastewater, is clogging of impellers due to fibrous and stringy materials. The solution to this type of clogging is the AVANT open channel impeller pump, adopting this new and innovative Anti-Clogging System (ACS). The ACS uses the centrifugal force of the impeller to pull out the stringy material via a spiral groove cut into the diffuser plate. This combination eliminates the fibrous material clogging of the impeller.

Specialized Coatings Available
The Molib-tech™ coating, adopted by Tsurumi, is specially formulated to prevent, and reduce wear due to erosion or cavitation on pump impellers, suction flanges, and housings. Molib-Tech, is an alternative to conventional ceramic coatings. The Molib-Tech process applies a layer of high strength material to the iron, to improve the product’s mechanical resistance (to abrasive environments) and performance characteristics. Unlike conventional ceramic coating, the uniform layer of material does not cause any change in clearance or loss of performance. The Molib-tech™ coating used by Tsurumi was specifically developed to increase component wear resistance, improve durability, and keep performance consistent over time, even in extreme duty conditions.
