Gilkes Self-Priming

Pumps For Marine Market

The Gilkes Series 'M' Gilmec self-priming pump is one of the most widely used self-priming pumps in the marine world today.

With their record for quality and reliable service over an extremely long life, they are fitted as stand- ard seawater cooling pumps by many of the world's leading man- ufacturers of marine diesel en- gines for the workboat market.

The Series 'M' Gilmec pump has been designed specifically for the marine market, not just an- other industrial pump adapted to meet a market where reliability is all important. The pumps are constructed in all bronze materi- als that have been proved over many years to be the best to with- for the i. A. stand seawater erosion and cor- rosion. The shaft is made in stain- less steel and runs in heavy-duty ball and roller bearings designed for a minimum life of 25,000 hours under the worst conditions.

These pumps are said to be ideal for all shipboard applica- tions such as bilge pumping, fire- fighting, deck wash, fuel oil and ballast transfer, fish washing, etc. The pumps can be supplied as bare shaft units, or complete "ticular operating requirements of combines numeric tonnage displays iod mimic diagram of the vessel.
