Atlas Copco WEDA L60N | Submersible Slurry Pump — 12.1 HP, 460V 3-Phase, 480 GPM, 4" Discharge

When the slurry flow demand outgrows the L50N but the install hasn't reached full industrial scale, the Atlas Copco WEDA L60N is a 12.1 HP submersible slurry pump engineered to move abrasive, solids-laden liquids across the heaviest applications in mining, quarrying, dredging, and industrial mineral processing.

Why a Slurry Pump?

If you've worn out a dewatering or sludge pump on quarry water, sand-and-gravel pit runoff, or any application that mixes abrasive solids into the flow, the answer is almost always: you bought the wrong pump category. Drainage and sludge pumps are designed around solids passage; slurry pumps are designed around solids survival. The WEDA L-series uses hardened wear plates, urethane-lined volutes (on larger models), and a multi-vane semi-open impeller in high-chrome cast iron — every wetted surface is treated as a replaceable wear component.

WEDA L60N Performance

Engineering Highlights

• High-chrome cast-iron impeller — multi-vane semi-open design, ~65 HRC, optimized for solids up to 1"
• Hardened wear plate at the impeller inlet — replaceable in the field as a single sacrificial component
• Double mechanical seal in stainless cartridge with oil-bath barrier between the seals
• 1,750 RPM operation — lower shaft speed extends wear life vs. the higher-RPM dewatering and sludge models
• Class F motor insulation with thermal protection in every winding
• Cable entry sealed against fluid ingress — eliminates the most common failure mode of submersible pumps
• Aluminum-alloy upper housing for corrosion resistance; cast-iron and high-chrome wear parts where it matters

Common Applications

• Active mining operations — main shaft sump pumping, mill feed slurry, tailings line transfer
• Quarry and aggregate operations of every size
• Industrial mineral processing — cement raw mill slurry, lime mud transfer
• Sand and gravel — large wash plants, dewatering screen feed
• Mid-scale dredging operations and harbor maintenance
• Power plant ash and slag handling
• Pulp and paper mill consistency-control pumping
• Oil and gas drilling-mud return at larger pads

How the WEDA L60N Fits in the L-Series

The L-series spans from the 5 HP L40N up to the 101 HP L110N. The L60N sits in the heart of the contractor-grade L-series — high enough to handle serious industrial slurry duty, but small enough to be deployed by a single crew without specialized lifting equipment.

Built for Long Service Intervals

Slurry pumps are wear-driven assets. The WEDA L-series is engineered to show wear (so you can predict service intervals) rather than fail unexpectedly. Service kits cover the impeller, wear plate, double-seal cartridge, motor end-cap rebuild, and cable assembly.
