Product Overview
Push-button bronze dewatering pairs the same corrosion-proof 3-inch wet end with an electric-start Yanmar L70, delivering up to 840 litres a minute of saltwater-capable flow at the turn of a key. No recoil, no delay. Key-start bronze saltwater duty is GB3KQ-A/B/L70E with Yanmar L70 electric starting.
Open flow holds 840 L/min, shutting off at 16 m head (23 PSI). The Nial bronze B3KQ-A/B construction with open non-clog style impeller passes 27 mm solids through 80 mm waterways.
Turning a key replaces the pull cord: the 7 HP Yanmar L70 diesel with electric start delivers 840 litres a minute of saltwater-capable flow without delay. Tidal suction water keeps flowing through self-priming suction in the 63 kg unit.
This pump is specified for wastewater transfer, dust suppression, water-cart duty, fire fighting and quarry dewatering. The broad application range supports contractor and quarry work, including clearing accumulated water, filling mobile carts, supplying suppression lines and maintaining water availability for fire-response needs.

What vertical suction lift does the self priming mechanism achieve across dry starts once the casing is charged?
Vertical suction capability on the Aussie Pumps Bronze Diesel Engine Drive Semi-Trash B3KQ-A/B (GB3KQ-A-B-L70E) reaches up to 6 m, evacuating intake line air swiftly without requiring a flooded suction inlet.
How much liquid volume can this unit discharge at maximum speed through connected piping?
Under full operating throttle, the GB3KQ A B L70E generates a maximum fluid displacement rate of approximately 840 L/min and reaches a maximum shut-off head of approximately 16 m.
How do open impeller vanes keep fibrous matter from winding around the drive shaft across demanding site dewatering duties?
Equipped with an open nickel-aluminium bronze semi-trash impeller geometry, the GB3KQ-A/B/L70E clears solid matter up to 27 mm in diameter without jamming internal channels.
How does the bronze impeller withstand cavitation erosion when drafting ocean water during prolonged sea transfer?
Seawater corrosion resistance on the GB3KQ-A/B/L70E is achieved through cast nickel-aluminium bronze construction across the volute and impeller.
Which engine propulsion and starting mechanism drive the pump shaft for standalone pumping in remote paddocks?
