Ballast Ejectors & Bilge Ejectors
Ballast Ejectors & Bilge Ejectors are Liquid Eductors specifically designed for the Shipbuilding Industry. Based on the jet venturi principle the Ballast Ejectors & Bilge Ejectors are able to suck liquids in and pump them out of the outlet.
This ability is put to use in draining and filling of ballast tanks, draining and filling of bilge areas.
A Conventional Mechanical Pump requires Electrical Energy for its operation, similarly Ballast Ejector / Bilge Ejectors require High Pressure Liquid flow, they utilize the energy stored in the pumped liquid. The Operation of Ballast Ejectors & Bilge Ejectors does not involve any moving parts and is completely dependent on the internal geometry. In most Installations Ballast Ejectors & Bilge Ejector utilize Liquid from the Ballast Headers or from the vessel’s Fire Fighting system.
Our Ballast Ejectors are successfully catering to de-Ballasting operations, pumping Crude and evacuating Bilges on Ships throughout the World.

Benefits of Ballast Ejectors & Bilge Ejectors
- Capacity to provide high suction lifts helps in stripping the bilges to the last litre with the help of our Bilge Ejectors.
- Self-priming nature and high suction capacity of our Ballast Eductors makes Ballasting easier.
- Standardized Model range ensures low cost and fast delivery times
- Effective performance in a wide range of applications.
- Smaller size models also function as portable Ejectors due to their low self-weight and availability of Threaded connections.
- No moving parts –Ensures excellent reliability, zero maintenance and a very long operating life.
