Soapstock

A company that has specialized in processing oleochemical raw materials uses a Börger rotary lobe pump for conveying soapstock. As the medium has a tendency towards hardening when the temperature is below 50°C, the pump was equipped with a heatable pump casing. In order to protect the pump from excessive pressure caused by the reduction of the pipe cross section (due to residues), the pump is equipped with a Variocap. If the pressure exceeds the predefined working pressure, the Variocap opens. The pressure is equalized due to the pumped medium flowing back. The Variocap closes automatically due to the pressure decrease.
