reliable operation, long operational life and for ease of maintenance.

The replacement of wear parts can be managed, in-situ, by service personnel in the blink of an eye without the removal of pipe systems or drive units. Simplicity is one of Bรถrger's trademarks.

Bรถrger rotary lobe pumps are universally mountable and are

suited for many different types of installation. For example, electric, combustion and hydraulic drives can be utilized. Complete mobile aggregates can be manufactured to customer specification and are finished in our own workshop.

Operating Principle Bรถrger Rotary Lobe Pumps are self priming, valveless positive displacement pumps. The synchronized counter-rotating rotors seal towards each other.

Chambers are formed between the rotor vanes and the casing surrounding them.

These chambers move from the suction to the pressure side creating a vacuum.

The conveyed product in the chambers is displaced through the discharge-side casing opening. The flow direction is easily reversible by changing the direction of rotation. Pumps have a distinct advantage where a reverse flow is needed.

Thanks to the special, patented construction, the robust rotor core and durable shaft remain nonwetted. We consider all factors when determining the selection of the best suited rotor for each individual application, therefore meeting the special demands of our customers.

In case of changing operating conditions, due to the modular construction different rotor designs can be retro-fitted to an existing pump unit.

MIP = Maintenance in Place

Both, repair- and downtime, cost money. Production and process time should not be lost due to maintenance. Following this basic principle, Börger has been constantly striving to perfect its rotary lobe pumps. The result is an extremely efficient, reliable and easy to maintain pump aggregate that is worldwide unmatched.

All replacement and wear parts are extremely durable, resilient and affordable. You won't be forced into any expensive maintenance contracts with Börger – simply carry out any maintenance and repairs yourself! The unique MIP property of our pumps makes this possible.

MIP or Maintenance in Place means that all replaceable parts can be

easily installed and removed by maintenance personnel, in-situ, without having to remove any pipe or drive systems.

The quick-release cover enables easy access to the inner components of the pump. All wetted parts can be quickly maintained and replaced when necessary – without removal of pipe or drive system

Select – The Perfect Selection!

The Select Pump follows the base principle of the Classic Product Line.

Between ­timing gear and pump casing, the mechanical shaft seals are individually pressurized.

The Select Product Line is particularly suitable for crystalline, toxic and sensitive fluids. Due to the pressurized area between the seals, medium is unable to penetrate in between the surfaces of the mechanical seal faces.

Additionally, the pumped fluid does not come into contact with the environment. Any seal leaks can be promptly detected and p ­ revented by visual and sensory m ­ onitoring.

Since the shafts seals are individually pressurized, it is possible to monitor each seal assembly of the two shafts separately.

Different needs require different materials and dimensional features. Börger offers a wide material variety. The pump casings are available from cast iron up to duplex-stainless steel, the casing protection plates provide materials up to ceramic and the rotors include a wide range of geometries and materials (elastomer coated, PUR, PTFE up to stainless steel).

Design of the Select Product Line shaft seal Due to the pressurized area between the seals, medium is unable to penetrate in between the surfaces of the 足mechanical seals. The medium does not come into contact with the atmosphere. Any heat development of the seal is transferred by the buffer fluid. All parts of the seals are accessible and replaceable via the pump chamber (MIP = Maintenance in Place).

Protect – Double Acting, Double Se The professional among the Börger Rotary Lobe Pumps is the Protect Product Line which incorporates the highest degree of operational safety for the mechanical seals with problematic fluids. The timing gear with optimized axial tolerances is separated from the pump chamber.

In between are two pressurized double-acting mechanical seals fitted. The pressurization can be achieved with a thermosyphon system.

The Protect pumps are particularly suitable for critical liquids (such as toxic or explosive pumped media), as well as highly abrasive conveying products. Protect pumps are also suitable for pumping latex, which often forms deposits between the seal faces causing possible leakage issues.

Different needs require different materials and dimensional features. Börger offers a wide material variety. The pump casings are available from cast iron up to duplex-stainless steel, the casing protection plates provide materials up to ceramic and the rotors include a wide range of geometries and materials (elastomer coated, PUR, PTFE up to stainless steel).

12

It is essential that the pressure level of the clean buffer fluid is kept higher than the maximum discharge pressure in the pump chamber.

In this way the double-acting mechanical seals reliably prevent the pumped medium from leaking out of the pump chamber. The pressurized buffer fluid also prevents the conveying product from penetrating in between the seal faces.

Börger Multicrusher Construction, Drive and Assembly

The Multicrusher incorporates the same unique advantages of the Börger MIP Design as the Rotary Lobe Pump: MIP (Maintenance In Place) allows the quick and convenient replacement of all wetted parts without removal of pipes, drives or other components of the macerating unit by your own staff. The unrivaled maintenance friendliness guarantees low life cycle costs and minimized downtime!

16

No matter if you integrate the Multicrusher in a pump operated system or you install it as an individual unit, the flexibility is superb! Because of the quick access to the rotating parts of the Multicrusher, the blade combinations, blade geometry and thickness can all be customized depending on the application and the particle size to be achieved.

The Multicrusher is a self-sufficient macerating unit with enormous “PullIn-Function”. The aggregate can be installed in line sufficiently flooded or on suction and discharge sides of pumping systems.

Convincing Features Macerating elements The individual blades are assembled on a heavy duty, hexagonal shaft sleeve.

The blade configuration is positioned in place with one central bolt. Through the quickrelease cover all wetted parts can be exchanged in minimal time. Several blade designs are available.

Shaft seal The unit is equipped with a robust mechanical seal. The integrated quench and control liquid filled intermediate chamber provides continuous mechanical seal lubrication and prohibits fluid penetration into the gear unit.

Flow direction The Börger Multicrusher is a symmetrical, reversible macerating machine. By turning the blades 180 degrees and by changing the rotation direction, the suction and discharge side of the macerating unit can be reversed.

Block construction The bolt connected grinder and gear casing are both designed as a compact one-piece construction. The Multicrusher, combined with a gear motor and connected through a flexible coupling on a common base frame, presents a compact macerating aggregate.

Rotation speeds Since the Multicrusher is not constructed with an integrated gear reduction, a wide range of operating speeds and various aggregate designs are available. Low HP units are best suited for water like fluids and low operation speeds. Increased solids concentration and/or improved macerating results require higher speeds and torques.

Bearing frame The gear assembly represents a cantilevered shaft design. The gear unit is a sealed component with robust gears and bearings.

Special construction The twin shaft grinder incorporates a strong “Pull-In-Function”. Börger develops customized fluid / solids handling solutions with auger feed systems combined with macerating and pumping equipment.

Börger shows teeth to problem cases.

The macerating results depend on a variety of variables, including the blade configuration, the blade thickness and teeth design as well as the rotation speeds. Nine blade configurations are currently available. The relative rotation speed between the two grinder shafts ensure an optimized macerating effect.

Hard metal tool steel provides long lasting sharpness and cut performance.

(B)

The MCA unit is an adjustment unit which works automatically. The rotating MCA cylinder (A), attached externally, works with a constant cutting load and pulls the blades onto the cutting plate with the minimum force necessary. Only a small amount of load is used so that the cutting blades are only lightly held against the cutting plate in the working position with low stress.

- The MCA unit is fitted externally, axial to the knife unit (B).

es =Y

When a clearance between the blades and cutting plates develops, the axial traction ensures that the cutting interplay between the blades and the cutting plate is always ideally set, guaranteeing that the Multichopper has an optimal cutting effect. The cutting preload is set completely independently.

This technology is absolutely maintenance-free.

- The MCA unit only allows one direction of movement. The blades cannot be lifted from the cutting plate.

- The knife unit, clamp axle and MCA form a patented unit which rotates as one.

Intelligent technology in the adjustment cylinder (MCA) prevents the blades from lifting and resetting. The adjustment unit is located externally. The entire internal macerating space of the Multichopper is not restricted by any adjustment devices. Here, the entire space is available for the medium to be chopped.

Direction of flow The direction of flow can be determined onsite due to reversible flange connections (Multichopper plus) or by rotating the casing by 180° (Multichopper pure).

Börger has razor sharp solutions!

Single shaft grinder with central cutting plate and effective blades for solids reduction in liquid phases. The chopping result is mainly determined by the design of the cutting plate, the operating speed and the fluid velocity through the unit.

Unique in the world and exclusive from Börger: Börger Multichopper MIP-Design allows the quick and convenient maintenance or replacement of all wetted parts, without removal of pipes, drives or other components. By your own staff.

BĂśrger Rotorrake Construction, Drive and Assembly

The Rotorrake is a robust chopping unit using inline design. Knives and counter knives are pushed on to the carrier shaft alternatively. The counter knives are fixed stationary inside the casing. The rotating shaft is directly driven via the drive and bearing assembly. The Rotorrake with its rough macerating effect allows for high throughput capacities.

Solids laden fluid is fed through the Rotorrake. Separation of hard particles is achieved by knife rotation against fixed counter knives. Stones and debris drop into the debris collector. Reduce-able solids are chopped by further knife rotation against the fixed knives. Both Knives and counter knives are reversible and can be used from either side.

Rotorrake – designed for simple and effective operation.

Reversible Direction of Flow

The Rotorrake is designed modular and can be used for various solids-reducing duties with reversible operation.
