XP-JX Series Explosion Proof, Corrosion Resistant Dewatering Pumps

Explosion‑Proof Dewatering Pumps for Hazardous Environments

The BJM Pumps XP‑JX Series is built for safe, reliable dewatering in hazardous and corrosive environments. Designed with an FM‑approved explosion‑proof motor, the XP‑JX Series meets strict safety standards for operation in classified locations while delivering dependable performance in industrial applications.

Built for Hazardous Locations

The XP‑JX Series is FM approved for Class I, Division 1, Groups C & D environments, making it suitable for facilities where flammable gases or vapors are present. It complies with NFPA, NEC, and OSHA requirements, ensuring safe installation and operation in demanding conditions.

Corrosion‑Resistant Stainless Steel Construction

To withstand aggressive fluids, the XP‑JX Series features a cast 316 stainless steel wet end with no welds, providing superior corrosion resistance and structural integrity. This makes it ideal for use in chemical processing, industrial effluent, and corrosive sump applications.

Engineered for Long Service Life

A double mechanical seal system with an additional lip seal provides robust protection against leakage and premature wear. Combined with oil lubrication and optional Seal Minder® monitoring, the design helps maximize uptime and extend operational life.

Designed for Dewatering Performance

The XP‑JX Series is optimized for high-head dewatering applications with fine solids, handling up to approximately 3/8" solids. Its hydraulic design supports efficient water removal in industrial and hazardous environments without clogging or excessive wear.
