Borger pump proves a perfect fit for tough, viscous materials in drywall manufacturing

In drywall production, where efficiency and reliability are paramount, a new pump from Borger has delivered a significant performance boost—tackling viscous and abrasive materials without breaking a sweat.

At a leading facility specialising in high-quality drywall, the Borger BLUELine CL390 rotary lobe pump has quickly proven its worth. Tasked with conveying well water combined with gypsum—a mixture that presents a serious challenge to standard pumping equipment due to its thick, gritty composition—the Borger pump has demonstrated exceptional resilience and performance.

Thanks to its self-priming, valveless design and reversible operation, the BLUELine CL390 offers seamless and uninterrupted flow, even under the harshest of operating conditions. With a capacity of up to 7,500 gallons per minute (gpm), this compact yet powerful pump keeps production lines moving, minimising downtime, and maximising output.

What sets the Borger pump apart is its ability to handle abrasive and high-viscosity mediawith ease—attributes that are essential in the drywall manufacturing process. Gypsum slurry, known for its wear-inducing properties, often shortens the lifespan of conventional pumps. However, the rugged design of the CL390 ensures durability and consistent operation, even with prolonged exposure to such challenging materials.

Built with Borger’s hallmark Maintenance-In-Place (MIP) technology, the pump also stands out for its ease of service. Technicians can carry out routine maintenance quickly and efficiently without the need for special tools or extensive disassembly—keeping repair times short and production schedules intact.

In an industry where equipment must perform under tough conditions, Borger's BLUELine CL390 rotary lobe pump is not just surviving—it's thriving. With its powerful throughput, robust construction, and maintenance-friendly design, it’s helping manufacturers meet their productivity goals while confidently handling the rigors of abrasive and viscous materials.
