Global lubricants manufacturer chooses new Borger pump
A new jet-mixing pump system has significantly reduced capital , installation , maintenance and energy costs at Moove , the leading global lubricants manufacturer and distributor , in the UK .
PUMPS
For a closed-top 50m3 tank used in the manufacturing process of quality lubricating , engine , hydraulic and gear oils , Moove wanted to trial a set-up that would not only be better economically , but also provide more redundancy .
Ian Lowe , Moove ’ s Manufacturing General Manager , explained ; “ A motor failure on a blender could mean as much as four days impact on production , so it was important for us to take the opportunity to prove a different technology .”
‘ A better option ’
He added : “ The performance of our existing paddle mixers has been good , but Borger were recommended as a company that would work with us to provide a better option ; one that could be easily replicated .”
The team at Moove drew up a logic for Borger to examine , outlining their objectives , which ultimately resulted in a pump ( plus two nozzles ), for a 3-bar application with a flow-rate of up to 60m3 / hr . To meet the space requirement at the Gravesend site in Kent , Borger also provided the system as a skid-mounted unit , working closely with Moove to supply a customised control panel with a specially written program .
“ The fact that Borger were able to deliver a complete , all-in-one package was a real bonus ,” continued Ian .
‘ So simple to look after ’
“ With a 9kW motor ( compared to 12kW for the paddle mixers ), we are automatically saving on energy , but one of the other main benefits is that the Borger equipment is so simple to look after . There ’ s easy access to the pump-head , and no special tools required . Retrofit to an existing tank is also very straightforward . “ We ’ re very pleased with solutions provided by Borger that allowed us to achieve the goals of our project .”
