IMO OptiLine – 1 Seamless Performance Upgrade to IMO OptiLine

2 – IMO OptiLine Seal-less Solution Seamless Performance The introduction of the IMO OptiLine series is already making waves within the marine industry. Innovative technology featuring magnetic couplings drastically reduces wear as well as making oil leakage history. Far from being the negative focus of your engine, IMO OptiLine will simply work as one with it. THE STANDARD APPROACH A packing box, a mechanical seal or a lip seal are the most common methods for avoiding leakage around a rotating shaft extending through the wall of a pump. Such seals are lubricated and cooled by the pumped...

4 – IMO OptiLine Invest in a leakfree future A leaking oil pump also leaks money – it’s that simple. The solution is IMO OptiLine. Return on investment for an IMO OptiLine pump is often less than three years, after that it will continue to save you money. THE IMO OPTILINE APPROACH With the IMO OptiLine series, there is no shaft extending into the external environment at all. Instead the power from the motor is transmitted via permanent magnets leaving the pumping chamber completely sealed off. The absence of mechanical seals means no leakage. There is no need for cleaning engine rooms of...

IMO OptiLine – 5 the client: Stena LINE THE VESSEL: STENA Danica The story : During spring 2008 IMO Opti Line pumps were installed aboard the passenger vessel , Stena Danica . The result : 1st Engineer, Johan Sjölander, states,“ The constantly leaking pump, and negative inspection reports forced us into looking for an alternative supplier. IMO AB pumps have a good reputation and solid track record in the marine industry, therefore we looked at both IMO AB’s standard pumps as well as the magnetic-coupled alternatives.” Chief Engineer Hans Corneliusson: “ The leak-free operation stated with...

6 – IMO OptiLine Take a closer look To really achieve efficiency in pumping oil, we needed a re-examination of how oil was pumped. The challenge was then to remove any problem areas. The solution: IMO OptiLine. FULLY ENCLOSED The traditional mechanically sealed pump has an inherent design flaw: the pumped liquid is used to lubricate the seal, which results in oil leaking through the seal. “To avoid this problem, we needed to design a pump with no mechanical seal”, says André Bergström, Chief Technical Officer at IMO AB. “The solution was a pump with a completely sealed pumping chamber”....

IMO OptiLine – 7 Enjoy fewer pro blems The traditional mechanical weak points are gone, so is the need to replace them. In fact, there are minimal spare parts or maintenance costs with an IMO OptiLine upgrade. Lea k-free performance Oil leaks, like the associated financial leaks, are gone, and you’re left with reliable, worry-free performance. Extreme duty The optimal solution for Heavy Fuel Oil applications, and designed to maintain high performance at extreme temperatures. Safety Of Life At Sea The IMO OptiLine oil pump is compliant with the SOLAS guidelines and directives. Hassle -free...
