Sizing
A textile manufacturer had persistent problems with its centrifugal pumps used for conveying sizing. The centrifugal pumps had sealing problems when conveying the sizing containing fibers. The textile manufacturer decided to replace the centrifugal pumps by Börger rotary lobe pumps. One of the three Börger rotary lobe pumps conveys the sizing into the sizing machines. In the sizing machine the threads are immersed through the sizing basin. Continuous circulation is required so that the sizing will maintain its consistence in the machine. To this end, two more Börger rotary lobe pumps are used.
