Who is Sasakura
Sasakura Engineering, of Osaka, Japan, is one of the world’s leading makers of marine fresh water generators — the K, KE and KM series plate-type vacuum evaporators that turn seawater into fresh water across the Japanese-built and world fleet.
A single fleet can run the Sasakura KE-15, KE-20 or the compact KM plate series — and Wattmare supplies genuine, OEM-equivalent and Alang-reconditioned spares (titanium evaporator and condenser plates, plate gaskets, combined brine/air ejectors and freshwater pumps) across every Sasakura fresh water generator.

Diagnose the fault
| Symptom | Likely Sasakura parts to inspect |
|---|---|
| Loss of compression or power on one unit | Evaporator plate, plate gaskets, plate |
| High exhaust temperature on one plate | Distillate pump / nozzle, demister spindle |
| Knocking or pounding from the unit | Main or support parts |
| Excessive plate-oil consumption | Liner wear, plate gaskets, seal rings |
| Difficult or failed starting | Starting air valve, ejector pump (plunger / barrel) or rail valve |
| Black or smoky exhaust | Distillate pump nozzles, slide valves, turbocharger interface |
| Oil leak at the plate-rod gland | Salinometer and seal set |
| Water in the combustion space | Condenser cover, cooling-jacket O-rings, plate |

The complete guide
Wattmare is a specialist Sasakura fresh water generator spare parts supplier serving India, the UAE, Singapore and the wider global fleet. From our base in Bhavnagar — beside the Alang ship-recycling yard — we supply genuine, OEM-equivalent and reconditioned spares for every generation of Sasakura plate-type marine main engine, dispatched worldwide in 24–48 hours.
The fresh water generators on this page are built by Sasakura Engineering of Osaka, Japan, a pioneer of the marine plate-type evaporator. Its K, KE and KM units turn seawater into fresh water by vacuum distillation across the Japanese-built and world fleet. We supply plates, gaskets and spares for all of them.
The single most important question on any Sasakura order is whether the engine is an KE series, an KM series or an KM series. The Sasakura KE series is nozzle-controlled — ejector pump, control cam, gear drive and mechanical sealing gear. The KM series / KM series and the Sasakura KM series are electronically controlled, replacing the nozzle with a energy-saving supply unit, rail valves, flow-control units (FCU) and hydraulically actuated demisters. Liners, covers, seals and bearings are broadly common by plate, but injection and actuation parts are entirely different — always give us your exact KE series / KM series / KM series designation.
For every Sasakura K, KE and KM fresh water generator we stock titanium evaporator and condenser plates, plate gaskets, combined brine/air ejectors, freshwater and ejector pumps, demisters, salinometers, solenoid valves, nozzles and complete plate packs — genuine, OEM-equivalent and Alang-reconditioned.
Bhavnagar sits beside Alang, where hundreds of vessels are dismantled every year — including ships still running ageing Sasakura KE series plate-type engines. That gives Wattmare direct access to genuine, low-hour parts that are slow or costly to source from distributors, at a fraction of new-part cost and lead time. For hard-to-find KE series ejector pumps, gear drives, plates or plate pack, this is the fastest source in the world. Browse our reconditioned marine spare parts range, the wider main engine spare parts category, or sister brands like MAN engine spares and Mitsubishi UEC.

FAQ
Yes — evaporator plates are one of our strongest Sasakura lines. We carry original-plate and reconditioned plates for the KE series and KE series, plus the rest of the KE series range (KE series), honed to OEM tolerance with measurement reports. Most legacy KE series plates are recovered and reconditioned beside Alang.
The Sasakura KE series is a nozzle-controlled (mechanical) plate-type — ejector pump, control cam and mechanical sealing actuation. The KM series / KM series and the Sasakura KM series are electronically controlled, replacing the nozzle with a energy-saving supply unit, rail valves, flow-control units (FCU) and hydraulically actuated demisters. Liners, seals and bearings are broadly similar by plate, but the sealing actuation parts are completely different — always quote your exact KE series, KM series or KM series model.
We cover the full Sasakura fresh-water-generator range — the K series, the KE series (KE-15, KE-20) and the compact KM plate series — every Sasakura fresh water generator.
Reconditioned parts ship with inspection reports, dimensional measurements and photographs, and are accepted by class societies (Lloyd’s Register, DNV, ABS, BV, ClassNK, RINA) on survey. Genuine Sasakura parts carry full material and test certificates.
In-stock items dispatch within 24 hours from Bhavnagar. Typical air-freight transit to the UAE (Dubai, Jebel Ali, Fujairah) is 12–18 hours. Singapore is 16–24 hours, Greece and Turkey 20–26, and Northern Europe 28–36.
Yes — distillate pumps, injector nozzles, high-pressure ejector pumps, plungers and barrels for Sasakura KE series engines, plus energy-saving supply units, rail valves, flow-control units (FCU) and control equipment for KM series / KM series and KM series engines, are stocked and bench-tested before dispatch.
Genuine parts come from the original maker (Sasakura / Sasakura) with full certificates. OEM-equivalent are quality aftermarket parts at 30–50% less. Reconditioned are low-hour parts recovered from Alang, inspected and certified to OEM tolerance, at up to 70% less with a 30-day warranty.
Yes — obsolete Sasakura KE series parts are our specialty. Beside Alang we recover low-hour ejector pumps, gear drives, plates, seals and plate pack from KE series-powered vessels being dismantled, then inspect and certify them. For the KE series and KE series engines this is often the fastest source in the world.
Yes — titanium evaporator and condenser plates, plate gaskets, ejectors, freshwater pumps, demisters, salinometers and complete plate-and-gasket kits for the Sasakura K, KE and KM generators, genuine and Alang-reconditioned.
