Emptying tanker trucks

A leading provider of gelling and thickening agent for the food and beverage industry processes large quantities of lecithin which is supplied to the company in tanker trucks. Previously a gear pump was used to empty the tanker trucks. As the gear pump had a very high energy consumption but only a moderate flow rate, the customer looked for an alternative pump. In order to be able to use the pump at another location in case of emergency, the Börger rotary lobe pump was built as a hand cart pump. Due to its compact design, the pump can be pushed to the required location like a wheelbarrow. The pump is driven by an electric motor.
