Pumps and Valves for Marine Engineering
Pumps and valves for marine engineering is one of the important components that must be installed on the ship.
A pump is one of the many auxiliary machinery in marine, a pump is a device used to move a liquid or fluid from one place to another by sucking and increasing the pressure of the liquid.
Valve is a tool to regulate the flow of fluid or liquid by closing and opening and also blocking part of the flow of liquid. on board the valve has an important role in the pipeline system, it a ship’s fuel pipe system, ballast, bilge, sanitary, and others.
KRACHT Company
100 years of experience make us stand out as a reliable partner.
We are a leading manufacturer of transfer pumps and flow meters. 270 employees at the Werdohl site and an additional 85 employees in our subsidiary companies in China, USA and Hungary design, produce and sell products in both standard versions as well as special solutions tailor-made to customer wishes.
These high-quality components are used for gear lubrication, for instance in wind power plants and ships gears, in dosing and mixing plants e.g. for manufacturing PU foams, and in testing technology. The range is supplemented by products for mobile hydraulics and industrial hydraulics which are used, for example, in construction machinery, agricultural machines, in general mechanical engineering and a multitude of stationary applications.
Dependable delivery and high-quality standards are just as important a part of the corporate philosophy as fairness to customers, suppliers and employees alike.

Properties of fuels
| Viscosity | 1.2… 20 000 cSt (dependent on pressure, speed and lubricity) |
| Lubricity HFRR-test * (according to ISO 12156) |
WSD ? 520 µm (meet the requirements of ISO 8217 for marine fuels) |
* The HFRR test acc. ISO 12156 is a recognized method for measuring the lubricity of diesel fuels. The characteristic value determined using this method is referred to as Wear Scar Diameter (WSD) and increases with decreasing lubricity. This characteristic value is stated by the fuel manufacturers and can be included when assessing the stability of components.
