Shinko KV centrifugal pumps have been designed and manufactured as cargo oil

unloading pumps for oil tankers. And, on the basis of our many years of experience
and service, consideration has been given to the following points in our design:

1. High efficiency
2. High performance under various suction conditions
3. Materials suitable for crude oil and product oil
4. Construction for minimizing vibration
5. Rigidity against external force

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
The vertical KV models are single-stage double suction cargo oil pumps. And, we have the following 7
standard models classified by capacity:

 CONTROL SYSTEM

This system has been installed to implement automatic cargo unloading with only cargo pumps
to prevent not only cavitation but also gas and vapour intake.
The basic operation of this system is described as follows:
1. After starting the cargo pump, on the cargo control console:
(1) The NOR/CLOSE selector, which acts on the gas extraction
valve, is set to "NOR".
(2) The control switch, which acts on the vacuum pumps, is set
to "AUTO".
(3) The AUTO/MANUAL selector, which acts on the discharge
control valve, is set to "AUTO".

This gas is separated from the cargo in the
