Pumps used for ship building and marine
ship building and marine

Ships and port operations deal constantly with fluids – water, cargo liquids (oil, chemicals, LNG), sewage, etc. These fluids need to be moved around for various purposes such as discharging ballast water, machinery cooling and lubrication, waste management, etc.

Marine environments are challenging and yet the pumps need to be robust and designed to handle such conditions. Various types of pumps can handle different fluid characteristics effectively.  Centrifugal and positive displacement pumps are the main types used in shipbuilding for fluid transfer, cooling, ballast control, and safety systems.

CombiBloc – Close-Coupled Centrifugal Pump

Combi Bloc Close Coupled

SPX FLOW's Johnson Pump CombiBloc series consists of close-coupled, horizontal centrifugal pumps used in shipbuilding and marine environments primarily for HVAC, cooling, and utility fluid transfer. The close-coupled configuration connects the pump and standard IEC motor via a lantern piece and stub shaft, creating a compact unit ideal for tight engine rooms and luxury yacht layouts

TopGear Bloc – Internal Gear Pump

TopGear Bloc – Internal Gear Pump

The SPX FLOW Johnson Pump TopGear Bloc is a compact, close-coupled internal gear pump engineered for highly efficient fluid transfer in shipbuilding and marine applications. Operating at direct-drive motor speed, it eliminates the need for bulky baseplates or complex couplings, making it an economical choice where onboard space is at a premium. Handles various grades of fuel including Marine Gas Oil (MGO), Marine Diesel Oil (MDO), and heavy fuel oils (HFO). Circulates lubrication oil to main propulsion engines, auxiliary machinery, and gearboxes.

CombiTherm Plus – High Temperature Centrifugal Pump

CombiTherm Plus High Temperature Centrifugal Pump

The SPX FLOW CombiTherm Plus Pump is a highly reliable, heavy-duty centrifugal pump optimized for high-temperature fluid handling in shipbuilding and marine applications. It is primarily engineered to transfer thermal oils and high-temperature hot water without requiring expensive, space-consuming external cooling systems. CombiTherm Plus is vital for thermal management and auxiliary machinery systems. Circulation of high-temperature thermal fluids or hot water used to heat cabins, galleys, and utility areas.

FreFlow – Self-Priming Centrifugal Pump

FreFlow – Self-Priming Centrifugal Pump

The SPX FLOW FreFlow series is a specialized line of self-priming centrifugal pumps extensively utilized in shipbuilding and marine fluid handling applications. Engineered specifically to manage demanding variables common at sea, these horizontal pumps excel at transferring clean, contaminated, or particle-laden liquids while operating efficiently under high suction lifts.

CombiLine – Centrifugal Pump with In-line Ports

CombiLine – Centrifugal Pump with In-line Ports

The SPX FLOW Johnson CombiLine is an in-line centrifugal circulating pump featuring a dry electric motor shaft and a mechanical seal, engineered for efficient fluid management in marine and shipbuilding applications. Inlet and delivery flanges line up directly, letting you mount the pump straight into pipelines without needing a separate foundation. Simplifies maintenance by allowing the internal parts to be removed without disturbing the pipe connections. Built to accommodate vertical arrangements to save precious engine room or machinery space
