Gilkes has a lifetime of experience specialising in producing high quality marine engine cooling water pumps. Gilkes engine cooling pumps are design engineered to meet the exacting high standards demanded by the Marine, Power Generation, Oil/Gas and Locomotive markets and are built in accordance with automotive quality standards.
PRODUCTS:
Diesel Engines / Marine Gearboxes
Gilkes pump designs are an integral part of the coolant circuit on both freshwater and raw water applications.
Raw Water Circuits
Our expertise allows us to offer solutions for engines and gearboxes up to 5MW meeting the most challenging applications of vibration and erosion / corrosion. The need for a self-priming, robust, compact design that will withstand the forces applied by an engine is essential to our customers.
Fresh Water Circuits
Our design and manufacturing capabilities allow us to offer competitive solutions for a vast range of engines and manufactures. We are a world leader in the supply of secondary circuit / aftercooler applications. The introduction, on a worldwide basis of emissions reduction has increased the demand on engine cooling; Gilkes has met this challenge head on and supply the worlds major engine manufactures with pumps to meet current and proposed legislation. Gilkes offer a bespoke design solution for any application encompassing unique and proven water and oil seal technology.
