Product Overview
High-throughput bowser islands and mining refuel farms step to up to 1,430 litres a minute with this 5.5 kW flameproof pump, holding hazardous-area certification while outpacing standard transfer units. Base-plate mounting keeps pipework aligned under load. High-throughput bowser islands specify GB3XR-A ATEX 5.5 for 415 V refuel farms.
Delivery peaks at 1,430 L/min open flow with shut-off at 26 m (37 PSI), rated on fresh-water viscosity liquids. The heavy-duty cast wet end with replaceable suction cover runs a big open impeller passing 24 mm solids, with standard Viton/carbon/alumina sealing.
Starting torque reacts into the steel base plate under the 5.5 kW three-phase 415 V ATEX motor, flameproof-certified and IP55-sealed for bowser-island duty. Twin 3-inch connections prime from 6 m depths, keeping pipework aligned under load.
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.

What vertical draw height can the suction chamber evacuate without an auxiliary foot valve during everyday operations?
Vertical suction capability on the Aussie Pumps ATEX Electric Explosion-Proof B3XR-A/ATEX (GB3XR-A-ATEX-5.5) reaches up to 6 m, evacuating intake line air swiftly without requiring a flooded suction inlet.
How much fluid volume can the wet end displace every minute across long transfer runs?
Under full operating throttle, the GB3XR A ATEX 5.5 generates a maximum fluid displacement rate of approximately 1430 L/min and reaches a maximum shut-off head of approximately 26 m.
What diameter solid matter can flow through the internal waterways without stalling the wet end during dirty liquid transfer?
Equipped with an open cast iron semi-trash impeller geometry, the GB3XR-A ATEX 5.5 clears solid matter up to 24 mm in diameter without jamming internal channels.
Why is an explosion proof motor required for transferring volatile solvents and fuels across petrochemical transfer areas?
Certified explosion-proof motor construction equips the GB3XR-A ATEX 5.5 to transfer fuels, solvents, and volatile liquids safely within classified zones.
How does the close-coupled motor interface with plant electrical switchboards without requiring phase converters?
Mechanical power on the B3XR-A/ATEX (GB3XR-A ATEX 5.5) is delivered by an electric drive rated at 5.5 kW 415V 3-Phase, built for direct connection to site power.
