Wood powder slurry

A paper and cardboard manufacturer uses recycled paper and wood powder in his plant to make cardboard. The wood powder (a fine sawdust) has the advantage of providing a lot of bulk yet still being very lightweight.

The wood powder is delivered and stored in a dry state. Before entering the production process, it is fluidized with water. To pump this wood powder slurry to a storage tank, the manufacturer uses a Boerger Rotary Lobe Pump.

From the tank, the frequency-regulated Boerger Rotary Lobe Pump dispenses the slurry into the production process in doses.
