XMA-SS Stainless Steel

When reliability meets corrosion resistance, the AR XMA-SS Stainless Steel Solid Shaft Pump stands out as the perfect choice for industrial washdown, marine environments, and chemical processing applications. Built with AISI 316L stainless steel pump heads, aluminum connecting rods, and Viton seals, this model is a workhorse for demanding environments where standard brass pumps would fail prematurely.

At 1750 RPM with a compact 24 mm solid shaft, the XMA-SS3G10N delivers 3 GPM at 2000 PSI while maintaining efficiency with only 4.12 EBHP (electric brake horsepower) required.

Key Features

• AISI 316L Stainless Steel Pump Head – Extreme corrosion resistance against salt, harsh detergents, and chemicals.
• Solid Shaft Design (24 mm) – Rugged, secure coupling to belts, pulleys, or direct drives.
• Aluminum Connecting Rods – Lightweight yet durable for smooth operation.
• Viton O-Rings – Extended service life in high-heat and chemical-heavy applications.
• Splash Lubrication with 14.5 oz oil capacity – Ensures long bearing and crankcase life.
• Standard 1750 RPM Operation – Balanced speed for efficiency and durability.

Electric Brake Horsepower (EBHP) Advantage

The 4.12 EBHP requirement is a crucial detail for specifiers. EBHP accounts for the true electrical power needed to drive the pump under load, making it easier to size electric motors correctly. This ensures energy efficiency and prevents premature motor wear.

Ideal Applications

XMA-SS Solid Shaft Series is designed for industries where stainless steel is not just an upgrade but a necessity:

• Food & Beverage Plants – Sanitary washdowns for dairies, breweries, bottling, and meatpacking.
• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing – High-pressure cleaning in controlled chemical environments.
• Marine & Offshore Rigs – Saltwater-resistant for ships, rigs, and dockside equipment.
• Chemical Processing Facilities – Handles corrosive cleaning agents and solvents.
• Recycling & Wastewater Treatment – Durable under heavy exposure to aggressive liquids.
• Commercial Kitchens & USDA Facilities – Complies with rigorous cleaning and sanitizing demands.

Benefits of the XMA-SS

• Corrosion Resistance – 316L stainless steel is the gold standard for chemical and salt protection.
• Longer Seal Life – Viton O-rings outperform standard seals under heat and chemical load.
• Compact Footprint – Easy to integrate into belt-drive or pulley-driven systems.
• Low EBHP Draw – Efficient design keeps electrical consumption manageable.
• Industrial Durability – Built for 24/7 operation in aggressive conditions.

Service & Maintenance

To maximize uptime, AR provides factory kits for service:

• Valve Kit (AR2631)
• Piston Kit (AR2544)
• Water Seal Kit (AR2644)
• Oil Seal Kit (AR2786)
• Support Rings (AR2740)

These kits are designed for easy field replacement, reducing downtime while extending the pump’s life cycle.

Final Thoughts

The AR XMA-SS Solid Shaft Pump brings together stainless steel durability, compact design, and energy efficiency. With 3 GPM at 2000 PSI, it hits the sweet spot for industries needing reliable washdown and sanitation without oversizing equipment.

For operators in food service, pharmaceuticals, marine, or chemical-heavy environments, the XMA-SS3G10N provides unmatched corrosion resistance and long-term reliability, making it an investment that pays for itself in uptime and performance.
