ECP Pump Desigh, Operations Solve Paper Mill Starch Handling Problems

摘要

Movement of starch slurries and cooked starch is one of the more difficult pumping applications in the papermaking process. Traditionally used in these applications, progressive activity (PC) pumps have become less reliable as changes in the way starch is used have compounded operating and maintenance problems with these types of units. As an alternative to the PC pump in starch applications, the external circumferential piston (ECP) pump is providing long service life and minimal maintenance under these difficult and demanding conditions.
