ALLWEILER-IMO: Leading pump manufacturers for marine industry
As environmental protection regulations become more stringent, innovative solutions in the pump industry are essential. ALLWEILER and IMO Three Screw Pumps are engineered, manufactured, serviced and supported to meet these unique demands of the Marine business.
Members of CIRCOR Group, ALLWEILER GmbH and IMO AB, two of the most reputable and well established Pump manufacturers, have been vastly chosen for their superior quality and well proven reliability to meet the new requirements.
With installations on more than 1000 vessels in the Greek Shipping industry and with over 100 years of experience, ALLWEILER and IMO can provide Owners with a wide range of pumps, covering all needs onboard the ships.
Going further, and recognizing the urgency in case of a defect, we have created an adequate stock of the most common pump types (ACD 025, ACE 025, ACE 032, ACE 038) available for immediate dispatch, at our warehouse in Piraeus.
Designed for the demanding marine environment and having more than one million pumps delivered worldwide, IMO ΑΒ is an established and trusted maker in the marine industry.
Viscosity range 1.4 – 5000 cst
IMO pumps meet the requirements for low viscosity (down to 1.4 cSt @ 40 0C for DMX) according to ISO 8217:2017 and max. sulfur content of 0.1% as stated in Marpol 73/78 and 2005/33/EC while maintaining the same high reliability.
Low Power Consumption
Small peripheral diameters of the rotors and low fluid axial velocities reduce fluid shearing within the pump, resulting in a reduction of horsepower consumption.
Benefits of simplicity
IMO pumps are simple to understand and with only three moving parts, there is little that can go wrong.
Designed for efficiency
IMO Pumps are designed using internal bearings which are also hydraulically balanced so that there are no loaded bearings, neither axial nor radial. These design features mean less maintenance for re-greasing, less downtime and longer life.
Leak-free
OptiLine (Magnetic Coupling) version, eliminates leakages by incorporating a complete enclosure where there is no shaft extension into open air and thus, no need for a conventional seal. Power transmission is achieved through the magnetic coupling.
Quiet operation
Smooth and continuous output flow that greatly reduces pressure pulsations. As a result, there is lower air borne, fluid borne and structure borne noise for a wide viscosity range.
ALLFUEL® 3-Screw pump series with a delivery pressure up to 40 bars, is widely used for Fuel and Lubricating Oil Feed and Circulating pumps. They are capable of handling fuels with viscosities as low as 1,0 cst and having Sulfur content of 0,1% by mass.
Specifically designed for marine use, the ALLFUEL® series demonstrates the following key characteristics.
