Ballast pump
Pump a maximum capacity of water with a minimum of input power! This is possible with the Veth ballast pump.
This pump, developed by our own technical department, requires an absolute minimum of pipework. Another advantage is that it can be used in two rotational directions. There is therefore no requirement for the pump to be connected to a suction- or pression box.
Solid, robust and compact. These are the qualities you can expect from Veth Propulsion products and these qualities are applied to the VETH-BALLAST-PUMP.
Instead of an impeller, a special propeller has been developed which produces almost the same pumping capacity whether filling or emptying the ballast tank.
When power is applied, it is possible to pump a large capacity of water with a very small amount of input power. This makes this pump ideal for ballast pumping. The pump is also ideally suited as a pump for water stabilizing systems.
At this moment, the Veth ballast pump is available in two different executions.
The VP 14, can pump more than 1000 cubic/hour with only 7,5 kW!
The smaller pump, the VP 8, can pump 400 cubic/hour with 4 kW.
Thanks to its small dimensions, this pump is easy to install, also in existing vessels.
