Lightweight Dewatering Pumps Built for Abrasive Applications
The BJM Pumps LWA Series combines lightweight construction with abrasion-resistant performance, making it ideal for dewatering applications involving sand, silt, and light slurry.
Designed for portability without sacrificing durability, these pumps deliver reliable performance in demanding jobsite conditions while remaining easy to transport and deploy.
Engineered for Abrasive Dewatering
Unlike standard lightweight pumps, the LWA Series is specifically built to handle abrasive materials such as sand, coal fines, and light slurry. A built-in agitator continuously mixes settled solids into suspension, helping restore sump capacity and prevent buildup.
Lightweight Yet Rugged Construction
The LWA Series features a lightweight design for portability, combined with abrasion-resistant internal components. Critical wear parts include:
- Hardened ductile iron agitator and volute
- High-chrome iron impeller and wear plate
This combination provides durability in abrasive environments while maintaining manageable weight.
Efficient Cooling and High-Speed Performance
The pumps use a jacketed motor cooled by the pumped liquid, allowing for reliable continuous operation. A 2-pole motor (~3450 RPM) delivers high-speed performance for effective dewatering.
The top discharge design improves cooling efficiency and allows for operation in lower water levels.
Designed for Portable Jobsite Use
With a compact footprint and lightweight construction, the LWA Series is ideal for applications requiring frequent movement or temporary installation, such as construction sites and rental use.
