Two decades on the wagon for super sober Borger Rotary Lobe Pump

16 Dec, 2025

A Borger Rotary Lobe Pump has completed more than 20 years of service for a food manufacturer that produces syrups, concentrate, vitamin combinations and emulsions for a range of alcohol-free beverages.

Recording over two decades of reliability with very low wear, and still going strong, the Borger pump is managed by a control unit (combined with a frequency converter) that regulates speed, so that the liquid sugar is transferred out of the storage tank into the mixing tank in doses.

In a system that also sees varying levels of liquid sugar added to the process to suit each type of drink, the Borger Rotary Lobe Pump, with its Maintenance-In-Place design, has kept service time and costs to a minimum.

Borger already has considerable experience in similar installations, including at a sugar refinery, where its pumps handle white mass (sugar syrup with crystals). These proven units manage a highly viscous solution (around 50% solids) during the final processing stage, where syrup is spun to produce fine white sugar crystals.
