KSB GIW, Inc has unveiled the GIW® LCC Gen2 slurry pump line, an advanced evolution of its well-established LCC series. Engineered for Class 1–3 slurry applications, the new generation retains the proven hydraulic efficiency of its predecessor while delivering notable improvements in reliability, maintenance accessibility, and cost efficiency over the pump’s operating life.
The LCC Gen2 maintains the trusted hydraulic design of the original model but incorporates several key mechanical and usability upgrades. These include a front pull-out shaft seal that enables seal replacement without dismantling the bearing assembly, threaded flanges for simplified piping setup, and zinc-coated fasteners for extended corrosion protection. A reinforced bearing assembly enhances durability under tough operating conditions, while the expeller can now be added or removed without major disassembly, reducing maintenance time and complexity.
“Customer input played a central role in developing the GIW® LCC Gen2,” said Kevin Pike, Product Manager at KSB GIW. “Every design refinement—from improved access to components and integrated lifting points to optimized serviceability—was aimed at making the pump easier to maintain, faster to service, and more economical to own. The result combines modern engineering with a legacy of over four decades of reliable field performance.”
The new series is offered in three distinct wet-end configurations, all built upon a shared mechanical base to ensure versatility and adaptability across a wide range of process conditions. This modular design allows users to easily select the optimal configuration for their specific operational needs while maintaining consistency in performance and maintenance.
The LCC-R Gen2 model features a proprietary rubber-lined wet end engineered to deliver exceptional durability. Under appropriate operating conditions, it can achieve up to twice the wear life of traditional metal components, making it an ideal choice for applications where corrosion and wear are significant concerns.
Meanwhile, the LCC-M Gen2 and LCC-H Gen2 models are constructed with Gasite® 28G high chrome white iron, a material renowned for its superior abrasion resistance. These configurations are specifically designed to handle the most demanding slurry operations, ensuring reliable performance and extended service life in challenging industrial environments.
Additionally, many wet-end components are interchangeable with the first-generation models, allowing customers to upgrade seamlessly while minimizing spare parts inventory and procurement costs. The rollout of the LCC Gen2 series will begin in North America, with the LCC-R Gen2 available from September 30, 2025, followed by LCC-M Gen2 on November 30 and LCC-H Gen2 on December 30. Quick-ship inventory for key sizes is scheduled for early Q2 2026, with full market availability anticipated by mid-summer 2026. Global distribution will follow shortly after, supported by KSB’s extensive manufacturing and service network.
“By integrating customer-driven design with decades of slurry pump expertise, we’ve created a product line that delivers strength, value, and performance,” added Mr Pike. “Through KSB’s worldwide network, users can expect fast access to pumps, parts, and aftersales support—ensuring dependable operation wherever they are.”
