Rotary Lobe Pumps

Variocap

The Variocap is an easy and effective option to install overpressure protection at the Börger pump. Using a purely mechanical process, the pump is protected from uncontrolled pressure surges. Reversibility is maintained.

Operating principle

Effective protection against overpressure

The Variocap is installed on the pump instead of the quick-release cover.

As soon as the pressure in the pump chamber exceeds a specified maximum pressure, the Variocap opens and the pumped medium can flow back from the pressure to the suction side. The pressure is equalized.

When the pressure in the pump chamber decreases below the defined limit, the Variocap closes again.
