CLEAN WATERS AND SEAS PierPump – User-friendly wastewater and bilge water disposal stations for boat and yacht harbors VOGELSANG – LEADING IN TECHNOLOGY

Unique disposal systems for boats and yachts Quality, experience and expertise guarantee for future-proof technology As the inventor of the elastomer-coated rotary lobe pump, Vogelsang has been one of the world’s leading mechanical engineering companies in the pump sector for decades. Railway transport companies, bus companies and ports have been relying on our high-quality machines for years, especially thanks to the sophisticated design of the rotary lobe pump. Based on our wide-ranging experience and constant research, we not only develop extremely functional components and entire systems that ensure long-term, trouble-free and economical operation – we also make sure they are easy to handle. Both the production and the material quality of our machines are testimony to how seriously we take our responsibility to our customers. Their adaptability and changeability enhance efficiency, optimize performance and increase sustainability. And we operate at 50 locations worldwide. Gone are the days when wastewater and bilge water were disposed of in bodies of water. Eco-friendliness is highly important to both skippers and politicians. Ports with professional disposal stations not only enhance their image, but can also gain a decisive competitive advantage by providing disposal solutions. Yachts and boats are now equipped with wastewater tanks that can be emptied quickly and easily in port. With the PierPump, Vogelsang offers a uniquely reliable solution that, depending on the model, disposes of wastewater in addition to bilge water. Over 25 years of experience that pays off.

In order to be attractive, and therefore successful, port operators have to respond to their customers’ desire for environmentally friendly equipment. In addition, they must meet legal requirements with regard to the discharge of wastewater and bilge water. Providing wastewater disposal systems in the port is an important step. More and more boats are being equipped with wastewater tanks. Vogelsang’s PierPump is the simplest and most reliable disposal solution for these tanks. The most impres- sive thing about them is their compact design, which means that operators do not have to sacrifice a berth. They are very user-friendly, just as uncomplicated as filling up at the petrol pump. Since the pump is a closed system, there are no unpleasant odors when it is used. Equipped with the reliable and robust Vogelsang VX series rotary lobe pump, the PierPump offers maximum per- formance. It pumps fluids and routes them directly into the marina’s sewer system. No additional personnel are required to operate the PierPump. Skippers can use the pump independently. Universal connections ensure that all boats and yachts can use the station. Various payment systems are available as options, including card readers, coin counters or token counters. Another plus: the Pier- Pump is practically trouble-free. However, in the unlikely event that a fault should occur, it can be rectified quickly and, above all, easily. As with all robust Vogelsang rotary lobe pumps, wear parts are easy to access and replace. Optional heating elements ensure optimal operation even at subzero temperatures. If support from the manufacturer is required, Vogelsang offers a reliable after-sales service. Attractive port – More customers Boat owners choose ports in part based on the services they provide. Clean sanitary facilities, welltended grounds and stable Wi-Fi are just a few of the criteria. The ability to dispose of wastewater and bilge water also plays a role. Ports that offer this service have an advantage. In addition, clean waters and a clean harbor can really help boost your image. For a clean environment The laws on the discharge of wastewater have been growing increasingly restrictive for several years. In the Netherlands, for example, an absolute discharge ban has been in effect for all boats and yachts in all navigable waters since 2009. In Germany, the regula- tions vary depending on the respective area. Different rules apply to state waters, federal waterways and the Baltic and North Sea. But the fact is, the less waste- water gets into water, the cleaner the environment. Easy installation, simple operation The PierPump is extremely straightforward to install. They are either installed by the experienced Vogelsang installation team or – after consultation – by the operator themselves. PierPump options • Coin-operated • Card reader • Time relay The PierPump is also quick and easy to operate. After the PierPump hose is connected to the wastewater tank, the pump can be started at the touch of a button. The wastewater pump is ready for immediate use. It pumps out wastewater or bilge water hygienically and odor-free. Draining a tank generally takes just a few minutes. • Operating hour meter • Electrical heating for frost protection • Pump housing and pump connections in stainless steel • Connections as per ISO 8099

What our customers say “If we want to persuade amateur skippers to think about using a wastewater tank on board, then the vacuum disposal system in the port must be of the best quality and guarantee fast, clean and trouble-free operation. After we installed a PierPump, the use of the wastewater station increased significantly. With its 600 berths, the Wartena marina is now equipped with environmentally friendly technology that fully meets the needs of customers and employees and – more importantly – helps protect the environment.” Gerard Schermer, Marina Manager Stichting Jachthaven Wartena, Warten, Netherlands

PierPump Easy The affordable option This variant focuses on economy and ease of use. However, the performance of the pump is comparable to that of other models. The PierPump Easy is also suitable for the vacuum extraction of wastewater or bilge water. It is equipped with a rotary lobe pump and a hose.

Technology needs to be easy to use and always accessible. The heart of our disposal systems is the original Vogelsang rotary lobe pump: a self-priming positive displacement pump specially designed for viscous media and liquids contaminated with foreign matter. The medium is sucked in directly by the highly robust, elastomer-coated rotary lobes and pumped into the sewer system. Vogelsang pumps for the port sector use robust double- bladed rotary lobes. They have a special coating and maximized free passage, which is why they are particularly insensitive to foreign matter. Thanks to the VX design, all wear parts can be serviced without having to disassemble the pump. That minimizes maintenance time and costs. The simple and reliable Vogelsang rotary lobe pump is ready for use around the clock and reduces downtime to a minimum. The principle Vogelsang rotary lobe pumps are non-contact, rotating positive displacement pumps. Thanks to the low-pulsation rotating lobes, they pump media evenly and with minimal vibrations. The delivery rate increases in proportion to the speed, so that Vogelsang rotary lobe pumps have proven to be an effi cient choice for a wide variety of delivery tasks. Their unique design also makes them easy to handle and economical to operate. Practical, economical and service-friendly Vogelsang pumps are easy to operate, maintain and service. This minimizes downtime, ensures high availability and, above all, reduces operating costs. Advantages of Vogelsang pumps • No bulky vacuum containers • No separate vacuum pumps and wastewater pumps • Liquids and air pass through the pump directly from the inlet to the outlet • Vacuum always available • Fully automatic operation • No automatic valves required • Compact design
