Hard fat

An animal feed manufacturer was looking for a powerful pump for conveying palm stearin, a hard fat used for the production of animal feed. Since the hard fat has a melting point of approx. 60 °C, it was important that the pump, the piping, the shut-off valves, etc. were well heated to prevent hardening of the palm stearin. Based on the good experience made with Börger products, the company opted for a Börger rotary lobe pump. In order to prevent the medium from hardening, the rotary lobe pump is equipped with a steam heater cover and a heated pump casing.
