BÖRGER ROTARY LOBE PUMPS
THE VERSATILE PUMPS
Börger rotary lobe pumps have been successfully used in
tank farms for many years. The solids handling pumps are
powerful, reliable and efficient. Börger pumps convey dirty,
sludgy and abrasive media without any issues.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Rotary lobe pumps are self-priming, valveless, positive displace-
ment pumps. The synchronized rotation of the rotor pair creates
a vacuum on the priming side of the pump. This vacuum draws
the liquid into the pump chamber. The medium is pumped into
the pressure area due to the rotation of the rotors. If the direction
of rotation is changed, the flow is reversed.
UNRIVALED LOW MAINTENANCE
Due to the cantilevered carrier design of the pump, the wear parts
stressed by the pumped media can be replaced through the quick-
release cover of the pump. All maintenance work are carried out
without the need to remove the piping and the drive system.
CONSTRUCTION
1
The quick-release cover
Access to all wetted parts by simply
loosening four ring nuts.
2
The rotors
Large selection of high-quality rotors.
For almost pulsation -free pumping of
the corresponding medium.
3
The casing protection
The casing liners and casing protection
plates protect the pump casing from
wear and can be replaced in a matter of
minutes.
4
The intermediate chamber and
shaft seal
The large-volume quench chamber is
filled with oil and ensures the highest
degree of safety. The ideal mechanical
seal (single- or double-acting) is selected
depending on the medium.

GUIDELINE-COMPLIANT DESIGN
All Börger pump units can be manufactured according to the
European ATEX guidelines (2014/34/EU) intended for use in
potentially explosive atmospheres.
In addition, a technically tight pump design according to the
German TA Luft requirements or an API-676-compliant design
are possible. Standard API 676 applies for rotary lobe pumps
and standard API 682 for mechanical seals. Börger rotary lobe
pumps can be designed, tested and delivered according to these
requirements. Customer-specific requirements will be taken
into account. It does not matter whether the pump units are
stationary, mobile or submerged.
FOR PURE MEDIA – PUMP WITHOUT
CASING PROTECTION
The “clean” version of the BLUEline Nova has been de-
signed for conveying pure, non-abrasive media. A casing
protection is not required.
The pump with minimum dead space can be cleaned ac-
cording to the hygiene procedures CIP (Cleaning-In-Place)
and SIP (Sterilization-In-Place).

CUSTOMIZED
EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE
Börger offers ready-to-connect solutions. Our pump units
are supplied from a single source. Börger designs and
produces the base frame, the pump technology, the monito-
ring sensor system and the control technology themselves −
in line with your requirements with perfectly matched
components.
Each Börger rotary lobe pump is configured for its specific application using
a modular principle. This also applies to the mobile pumps. In this respect,
we deliver everything “from a single source”. The entire unit is designed and
manufactured for the corresponding application, including the mobile unit,
the pump technology and the control unit.
BÖRGER CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
Our engineers develop, program and build the control technology tailored to
your specific purpose in our electrical engineering department. All operating
and monitoring devices, e.g. temperature monitoring, electronic seal moni-
toring or overpressure protection, are controlled and monitored by the con-
trol technology. Naturally, easy operation of the unit is ensured. In addition,
an ATEX-compliant design is possible without any problems.

BÖRGER SUBMERGED PUMPS
COMPACT AND CUSTOMIZED
Submerged pumps are required again and again. Sub-
merged and semi-submerged pumps are used if dry
installation is not possible due to the NPSH value of the
plant. The compact design, chemical resistance, variable
flow rate and ability to pump highly viscous media without
any issues are the reasons why the Börger rotary lobe
pump is an ideal submerged pump.

DURABLE AND RELIABLE
STRIPPING PUMP
Tankers are filled and emptied via loading arms. Residual quantities remain in these
loading arms and have to be removed. Börger pumps are used for this purpose.
These “stripping pumps” must convey reliably and very efficiently as the ships are
supposed to depart as soon as possible after they have been loaded or unloaded.
The pumps are configured individually according to the specific requirements of
the media to be conveyed and the filling station. Above all, the high reliability of the
Börger rotary lobe pump makes it an ideal stripping pump.
PUMPS FOR LOADING AND UNLOADING OF TRUCKS
AND TANKER TRAINS
In a Thai tank farm, Börger rotary lobe pumps load and unload the incoming tanker
trucks and trains. The pumps with dry-run capability can operate in reverse. This
made it possible to design the piping system in a very simple way. Thanks to the
high flow rate of the self-priming pumps, the tank terminal saves time during loa-
ding and unloading compared with the pumps previously used.
MOBILE ATEX-COMPLIANT REFINERY PUMP
A mineral oil company uses Börger mobile pumps for flexible use on the refinery
premises and for “pigging“ the pipelines. The entire pump unit including the pump
itself, the drive and the control technology is manufactured in ATEX-compliant de-
sign. The Börger control technology ensures the highest degree of safety in poten-
tially explosive atmospheres. To be able to use the pumps everywhere on the parti-
ally rough refinery premises, the entire mobile unit including the drive is mounted
on a base frame equipped with forklift openings.
PUMPS FOR EMPTYING COLLECTING BASINS
A big tank farm in Singapore uses self-priming Börger pumps to empty the large
collecting basins. The surface water consisting of rainwater, production residues,
safety overflows etc. is collected here. The pumps with dry-run capability have a
low shearing effect and were designed according to API 676 for rotary positive dis-
placement pumps in compliance with the customer‘s requirements. As the pumps
can master the required suction height of 6 m without any problems, the pumps
could be installed above the collecting basin.
PUMPS FOR EMPTYING PIPELINES ON TANKERS
A shipping company uses Börger pumps on its 13 oil tankers for draining the pipe
systems. The pumps had to be self-priming, not sensitive to dry running, and able
to cope with high pressures and changing pumped media without problems. As the
pumps are installed on deck, an explosion-proof design was required. The Börger
pumps fulfilled these requirements.
