The KB Series Advantage: Built for Abrasive Slurry Applications
The BJM Pumps KB Series is engineered for demanding dewatering and slurry applications where abrasive solids are present. Designed to handle tough materials such as sand, silt, coal fines, and sludge, these pumps provide reliable performance and long service life in environments where traditional pumps would quickly wear out.
With integrated agitation, abrasion-resistant materials, and high head capability, the KB Series delivers maximum uptime in harsh operating conditions.
Engineered for Abrasion Resistance and Performance
The KB Series features high-chrome iron components in critical wear areas, including the impeller, wear plate, and agitator, significantly improving resistance to abrasive wear. A built-in agitator continuously suspends settled solids, ensuring efficient pumping and preventing clogging.
The rugged construction and heavy-duty design make the KB Series ideal for continuous-duty slurry applications.
Key Features & Benefits
- Abrasive-Resistant Construction: Hi-chrome iron components extend pump life
- Built-In Agitator: Keeps solids suspended for efficient slurry handling
- High Head Capability: Delivers up to ~180+ ft of head
- Heavy-Duty Seal System: Double mechanical seals (SiC/SiC lower, carbon/ceramic upper)
- Thermal Protection: Built-in overload protection for motor safety
- Top Discharge Design: Improves cooling, durability, and pump-down capability
- Slim Profile: Narrow design (as small as ~13.5") for confined spaces
Built for Tough Slurry Handling
KB Series pumps are specifically designed to operate in abrasive and solids-laden environments. The combination of high-chrome components and a built-in agitator allows the pump to efficiently move slurry while minimizing wear.
A jacketed motor design uses the pumped liquid for cooling, enabling continuous duty operation even in demanding conditions.
Performance Specifications
- Horsepower (HP): 7.5 HP to 30 HP
- Max Flow: Up to ~750+ GPM
- Max Head: Up to ~186 ft
- Max Solids Handling: Up to 1" (model dependent)
- Max Liquid Temperature: 104°F (40°C)
- Motor Speed: ~3450 RPM (2 pole)
Typical Services & Ideal Applications
The KB Series is ideal for heavy-duty dewatering and slurry applications involving abrasive solids. Common uses include mining operations, quarry dewatering, sand and gravel processing, settling ponds, and industrial wash-down systems.
These pumps are designed for environments where reliability, durability, and resistance to wear are critical.
