Common Applications

Applications - Marine - Marine Fluid Transfer (800x800).png

Marine Fluid Transfer

In the marine environment, where corrosion, vibration, and space constraints are constant challenges, fluid transfer systems must be robust, efficient, and dependable. Whether you're operating a commercial vessel, a naval ship, or a recreational yacht, Oberdorfer pumps are engineered to handle a wide range of corrosive and non-corrosive fluids with precision and durability.

Applications - Marine - Oil Change (800x800).png

Oil Change Systems

Regular oil changes are essential for maintaining the performance and longevity of marine engines, generators, and industrial machinery. However, draining and refilling oil—especially in tight or enclosed spaces like engine rooms—can be messy, time-consuming, and labor-intensive.

Applications - Marine - Bilge Pumping (800x800).png

Bilge Pumping

In marine environments, bilge pumping is a critical safety and maintenance function. The bilge—the lowest compartment inside a vessel’s hull—collects water from leaks, condensation, and cleaning operations.

Fire Pump or Ballast Transfer

Whether you're combating onboard fires or managing ballast water for vessel stability, having the right pump is critical. Oberdorfer Rotary Gear Pumps are engineered for high-capacity performance, delivering water quickly and reliably in both emergency and operational scenarios. Ideal for vessels of all sizes, these pumps ensure safety and balance at sea or in port.

Baitwell Pumps

In sportfishing and commercial fishing operations, maintaining live bait in optimal condition is essential for success. A dependable baitwell system ensures continuous water circulation, oxygenation, and temperature control—keeping baitfish healthy and active throughout the trip. Oberdorfer Baitwell Pumps are engineered for rugged marine environments, delivering consistent performance and long service life.

Air Conditioning Coolant Pumps

Efficient marine air conditioning is essential for comfort, safety, and equipment longevity - especially in warm climates or enclosed vessel spaces. Whether you're outfitting a luxury yacht, a commercial vessel, or a naval ship, your A/C system depends on a dependable raw water pump to circulate seawater through the heat exchanger. Oberdorfer Air Conditioning Coolant Pumps are trusted by leading marine A/C manufacturers for their durability, performance, and marine-grade construction.

Engine Cooling Pumps

Marine engines operate under extreme conditions—high loads, variable speeds, and constant exposure to saltwater. To keep them running efficiently and prevent overheating, a reliable raw water cooling system is essential

Engine Cooling – Generator Recirculating Pumps

Marine generators are the backbone of onboard electrical systems, powering everything from navigation equipment to climate control. To keep these generators running efficiently and prevent overheating, a dependable raw water cooling system is essential. 

Ice Making Pumps

In marine environments where ice production is critical—whether for commercial fishing, food preservation, or onboard hospitality—reliable water circulation is essential. Oberdorfer Ice Making Pumps are engineered to deliver high-volume, non-pulsating flow, making them the preferred choice for marine ice machines and refrigeration systems. Built with corrosion-resistant materials and minimal moving parts, these pumps offer long-lasting performance with reduced maintenance.

Sewage Transfer Pumps

Efficient and sanitary waste management is a critical component of any marine vessel’s onboard systems. Whether for recreational boats, commercial ships, or government vessels, sewage transfer systems must be reliable, corrosion-resistant, and compliant with maritime regulations. Oberdorfer Sewage Transfer Pumps are trusted by boat builders and marine engineers for their durability, performance, and regulatory compliance.
