Marine ballast pumps are specialized pumps used to manage water intake and discharge in ship ballast systems. These pump systems ensure vessel stability by adjusting water levels in ballast tanks during loading, unloading, and transit. They are designed for durability, efficiency, and compliance with maritime regulations.

Size: Typically ranges from 50 mm to 500 mm discharge diameter.

Grade: Marine-grade materials compliant with IMO and SOLAS standards.

Viscosity: Suitable for fluids with viscosities up to 1,000 cSt.

Buoyancy: Designed to operate in submerged or floating conditions.

Material: Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials like bronze, stainless steel (316L), or duplex steel.

Flow Rate: Ranges from 50 m³/h to 2,000 m³/h.

Pressure: Operating pressure up to 16 bar.

Power Source: Electric or hydraulic-driven, with power ratings from 5 kW to 500 kW.

Temperature Range: -20°C to +120°C.

Sealing: Mechanical seals or gland packing for leak-proof operation.

Certification: Compliant with ABS, DNV, LR, and other marine classification societies.
