Product Overview
Rural fuel depots and earthmoving workshops on single-phase supply transfer diesel at 750 litres a minute through this flameproof 3-inch pump, emptying bulk tanks fast inside hazardous ratings. No three-phase line needed for serious flow. Rural high-volume transfer without three-phase power calls for GB3KQ-A ATEX240 on 240 V.
Open-discharge delivery tops 750 L/min with shut-off at 16 m (23 PSI) of head on fresh-water viscosity liquids. Heavy-duty cast construction with a replaceable suction cover houses a big open impeller passing 27 mm solids, sealed Viton/carbon/alumina as standard.
Serious 3-inch flow needs no three-phase line here: the 2.2 kW single-phase 240 V flameproof motor carries ATEX certification with IP55 protection for rural depots. Tank-to-tank layouts use the full 3-inch ports with 6 m self-priming suction, renewing wear through the replaceable cover.
This flameproof configuration is specified for hazardous-area diesel and fuel-oil movement, including machinery and marine refuelling, earth-moving fleets, mining plant and generators. Its listed duties also include waste-oil collection and heating-oil transfer, supporting fuel-service work wherever hazardous-area requirements apply.
