Has Johnson Pump figured out how to reduce Sea Pump corrosion?

June 16, 2021/in News /by wpadminlms

In Johnson Pump’s 30+ year history, they have grown from being a small company based in Örebro into one of the most predominant suppliers on the international pump market. Johnson Pump has strengthened its position in industrial and process pumps through-out Europe and other parts of the world.

Sea water pumps are often exposed to oils and other chemicals that, over time, can break down impeller materials. Johnson Pump understands this and offers impellers that use alternative materials such as Nitrile and an ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber compound called MC97. Nitrile and MC97 remain stable in the presence of petroleum products and higher temp waters resulting in an impeller that will not swell or deteriorate. These properties make Johnson impellers ideal for sea water pumps and fuel transfer pumps. Johnson Pump offers water pump impellers in many common sizes and are built tough to meet the demands of commercial and recreational boaters.

Johnson Pump is one of the leading original equipment pump suppliers to the largest manufacturers world-wide of inboard engines. Engine cooling pumps are available in several different styles and sizes to satisfy different cooling system needs. Flanged pumps which mount directly to the engine and crank shaft pulley mounted pumps are available for a wide variety of engines.
