abrasive coating color / tri-lobe screw rotors / low pulsation / lobe pumps
A paper manufacturer specializing in the production of special papers (e.g. image printing papers with higher basis weights) and wet-strength label papers was looking for a pump to convey coating
color. The pumps were supposed to convey the coating color from the coating kitchen into the paper machine. The progressive cavity pump previously used suffered from extreme wear and downtimes occurred due to various faults.
Following a prolonged test phase, the paper manufacturer opted for a Accuvon rotary lobe pump. The pump has individually pressurized shaft seals. This prevents any pumped medium from penetrating between the sliding surfaces of the seals. The tri-lobe screw rotors convey the medium with low pulsation.
The customer is very satisfied with the Accuvon rotary lobe pump. Plant productivity improved due to the long service life and the reliable pumping. Additionally, the Accuvon rotary lobe pump is more energy-efficient and pumps the coating color much more consistently than the progressive cavity pump previously used did.
