Product Introduction The Series is a robust and portable self-priming pump, specifically designed for oil and fuel transfer duties in shipyards, on vessels, and at port facilities. It combines a powerful suction lift capability with the critical safety features required for handling flammable liquids like diesel and kerosene. Its durable, corrosion-resistant construction ensures reliable performance in harsh marine environments, making it the ideal choice for fuel transfer, bilge pumping, and various general-purpose oil handling tasks.
Design Philosophy & Construction The pump is engineered for safety, versatility, and durability in demanding marine settings.
- High-Efficiency Self-Priming: The pump features an advanced hydraulic design that allows it to quickly evacuate air from long suction lines, providing a strong suction lift without needing a foot valve. This makes it perfect for lifting fuel from deep tanks or emptying the last remnants of liquid from bilge compartments.
- Safety in Flammable Environments: Recognizing that it will be used with fuels, the pump is equipped with a high-grade explosion-proof (Ex-rated) motor. This is essential for ensuring safe operation in areas where flammable vapors may be present. Key components, like the impeller, are often made from spark-resistant materials such as bronze.
- Marine-Grade Materials: The pump is constructed from materials chosen to withstand a corrosive saltwater environment. A heavy-duty cast iron or marine bronze casing provides excellent durability, while the internal components are designed for compatibility with a wide range of petroleum products.
- Compact and Portable: The is often supplied on a mobile trolley with wheels or a compact skid. This allows a single pump to be easily moved around a dock, shipyard, or vessel to perform multiple duties, from fueling to emergency dewatering.
Key Features & Benefits
- Powerful Suction Lift: The efficient self-priming action allows for fast and easy lifting of oil and fuel from tanks and compartments below the pump level.
- Explosion-Proof for Fuel Safety: The Ex-rated motor provides the highest level of safety for handling flammable liquids like diesel, gasoline, and kerosene.
- Durable & Corrosion-Resistant: Built with marine-grade materials to ensure a long and reliable service life in harsh, saltwater-laden environments.
- Versatile Marine Utility: An ideal all-in-one pump for a variety of shipboard tasks, including fuel bunkering, tank-to-tank transfer, and bilge pumping.
- Convenient and Mobile: The portable design with a trolley makes it easy to deploy for routine tasks or emergency situations anywhere in a shipyard or on a vessel.
Common Applications The pump is the workhorse pump for oil and fuel handling in marine and industrial settings:
- Ship Fueling & Bunkering: Transferring diesel fuel from shore-side tanks or fuel tankers to ships and boats.
- Bilge and Ballast Pumping: Removing oily water from bilge spaces and other vessel compartments.
- Tank Stripping: Emptying fuel and oil tanks for maintenance, cleaning, or inspection.
- Shipyard Operations: General transfer of fuels, lubricating oils, and waste oil.
- Mobile Fuel Transfer: Used on fuel trucks and at temporary depots for loading and unloading.
