THW mobile pump

The German Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW) was searching for a mobile unit with a high performance pump. It was essential for them that the pump was self-priming and was able to cope with up to 5,000 liters a minute. The pump also had to be able to easily handle water with sand sediments, solids, fibers and oils.  

They decided on a Boerger FL 1036 Rotary Lobe Pump. As the entire mobile unit could be made by Börger GmbH from the trailer to the pump technology , all their requirements could be met. 

This included the following:

-       height-adjustable towing device

-       4 lifting points for loading the unit by crane or helicopter

-       detachable roof

-       noise insulated diesel motor

-       control system unit with different functions and displays

-       emergency stop button with a 20-meter cable extension

Unlike    rotary  pumps  often used as flood pumps  ,  the    Boerger Rotary Lobe Pumps   are resistant to solids   and   hardly   lose   pump efficiency or output    even   at high pressure  . The water damage/pump team  are highly satisfied with the Boerger Rotary Lobe Pump as a mobile unit. They are particularly taken with the easy handling, the robust operation and ease of maintenance. We have now supplied more than 50 mobile units to the THW.
