Durable Solutions: Börger Rotary Lobe Pumps
in the Sugar Industry

In various stages of sugar production pump

demands may fluctuate. Without reliable and
resilient pumps sugar cannot be produced.
Börger has been in the pump business for
over 20 years and has experience in virtually
every area of sugar production.
Rotors with replaceable tips.
Easy maintenance and inexpensive
The Börger MIP-Design is a unique advantage
to minimize downtime and maintenance. MIP
(Maintenance In Place) allows for the quick
and convenient replacement of all wetted
parts without the removal of pipes, drives or
other pump unit components. This can be
done onsite by your own staff.
Quick, Easy & Inexpensive.
Exclusive from Börger:
Unrivalled MIP-Design
Börger offers rotors in various designs and reduces life cycle cost
materials. For highly viscous and abrasive and downtime.

product the Börger Premium rotor (in steel or

stainless steel) is recommended. The
Premium rotor has been successful in the
sugar industry because it is driven at low
speed and is suitable for continuous operation.
Börger offers 19 pumps with a wide selection
of casings and protection liners. Diverse
configurations and additional components
create a suitable pump for every application!
We are offering tailor-made sealing systems
