Centrifugal pumps are excellent at moving liquid. But they are terrible at sucking air. When your suction line loses prime, your main pump starves, vibrates and fails to deliver. Now imagine a pump that primes itself automatically… then disconnects itself the moment the job is done. Then reconnects itself when needed again. No electronics. No operator intervention.
That is exactly what the Vacuum Pump VK20 delivers.
The VK20 is not a standalone pump. It is a smart, mechanical sidekick that works alongside your main centrifugal pump to handle one specific job: priming the suction line.
Why ship owners and managers choose the VK20
- Works with your existing pumps (the VK20 is designed to integrate with centrifugal pumps from the industry’s leading brands).
- Built for the Marine Environment. Corrosion is not an option.
- Smart lubrication equals less maintenance.
- Designed for intermittent duty.
- True automatic operation.

SUE 26 / SUE 36 – The self-priming ejection unit
Like the VK20, the SUEx is designed to solve one expensive problem: air in your suction piping when starting a centrifugal pump. But it does so using a completely different principle – air ejection instead of a vacuum pump.
If you want a simple, corrosion-proof, maintenance-light priming solution for your centrifugal pumps – especially when handling aggressive mediums or sea water – the SUEx is your answer. No moving parts to wear. No lubrication to check. Just consistent, automatic air evacuation at every pump start. Stay primed. Stay efficient.
