XP-SK Series Explosion Proof Shredder Pumps

Powerful Shredding Performance for Hazardous Environments

The BJM Pumps XP‑SK Series is engineered for handling difficult solids in hazardous locations, combining explosion‑proof safety with aggressive shredding capability. Designed to tear, rip, and break apart solids before pumping, the XP‑SK Series ensures reliable operation in applications where clogging and solids buildup are a concern.

The XP‑SK Series features an FM‑approved explosion‑proof motor rated for Class I, Division 1, Groups C & D hazardous environments, providing safe operation in areas with flammable gases or vapors.

Advanced Shredding Technology Designed for Solids Handling Applications

At the core of the XP‑SK Series is a tungsten carbide‑tipped impeller with integrated cutting system, delivering a 360‑degree shredding action that reduces solids into manageable particles. This design minimizes clogging and allows the pump to handle challenging materials including fibrous solids and debris.

The XP‑SK Series is capable of processing solids ranging from approximately 1.6 inches up to 3.5 inches, depending on the model. Larger units provide increased capacity for heavy-duty wastewater and industrial solids applications.

Rugged Construction for Reliability

The pump is constructed with a cast iron motor housing and ductile iron wet end components, providing strength and durability in demanding conditions. Heavy-duty bearings, lifting rings, and a removable stand support long-term operation and ease of servicing.

Flexible Installation and Operation

The XP‑SK Series supports free-standing and guide rail installations, with discharge options available in ANSI or NPT configurations. Both 2‑pole and 4‑pole motor designs are available, allowing users to balance flow and head requirements.
