Boiled starch
A manufacturer of corrugated base paper has been using a Börger rotary lobe pump for conveying boiled starch.
Following a procedure conversion, the starch can reach temperatures of up to 120 °C (248 °F) and has a solids content of 17 %. In the eccentric screw pump used before, the starch was not allowed to exceed a maximum temperature of 80 °C (176 °F) and the pump suffered from excessive wear. The rotary lobe pump used now is completely made of stainless steel. Casing protection plates and liners made of stainless steel protect the pump casing from wear and the pump is equipped with tri-lobe screw rotors made of stainless steel. These rotors convey the boiled starch with very low pulsation.
