TRUSTED SINCE 1937
Eductors and Ejectors are liquid Jet pumps that use water or other liquids under pressure to create a pumping action. In standard eductors the drive pressure liquid discharges through a single nozzle to start the pumping action. Ejectors are self priming and can handle liquid and solid mixtures. There are no moving parts to break down or wear out. Eductors are available with flanged or threaded connections, for portable use or for permanent installation. Ejectors are used to pump liquids from chain lockers, bilges, cargo holds, or any space that has to be pumped dry.
Bilgemates are a peripheral jet type of eductor with a straight through unrestricted flow for the suction liquid. This allows larger pieces of suspended solids to be handled. The inlet pressure liquid is discharged through a multi – jet nozzle which makes it possible to handle larger volumes of air. All these characteristics make this type suitable for pumping bilges, stripping ballast, or priming large pumps. Ejectors cannot lose suction. Every gallon inlet fluid can pump 1½ - 2 gallons of suction fluid such as bilge water.
Deck Eductors use water under pressure from the fire main or other source to lift liquids at the rate of 10 – 15 GPM from depths of 70 feet or more. The eductor stays on deck while the non-collapsible suction hose goes into the tank to dry out tanks completely. Normally furnished with 75 feet of suction hose. Other lengths are available.
