Failing mechanical seals of this piston model had resulted in complete, costly shutdowns of the plant.
Used in the process of, the new Borger pump is now transferring a 120–130°C mixture of vegetable/animal fat and caustic soda to a reactor.
Benefitting from double-acting seal faces, which are pressurized via a thermosyphon system, the Borger pump is also fitted with a steam heating cover that keeps the medium at its optimum temperature.
Since its installation, the Borger pump has successfully circulated the medium in the reactor until a complete reaction has taken place – without any breakdowns whatsoever.
