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.

Key Features of Oberdorfer Ice Making Pumps

Smooth, Non-Pulsating Flow

  • Centrifugal design ensures continuous, even water delivery—ideal for ice-making systems that require stable flow.
  • Reduces vibration and mechanical stress on connected equipment.

High-Volume Output

  • Capable of delivering large volumes of water efficiently, supporting high-capacity ice production.
  • Suitable for both freshwater and seawater applications.

Marine-Grade Bronze Construction

  • All wetted components are made from high-quality bronze for superior corrosion resistance.
  • Ideal for saltwater environments and harsh industrial solvents.

Minimal Moving Parts

  • Fewer wear components mean less maintenance and longer service intervals.
  • Simplified design reduces the risk of mechanical failure.

Self-Priming Options Available

  • Several models offer self-priming capability, allowing for flexible installation and quick startup.
  • Provides up to 20 feet of suction lift, ideal for below-deck or remote tank installations.
