Boerger Pumps for Water, Wastewater & Industrial Fluids
Boerger (Börger GmbH) is a trusted German manufacturer renowned for precision-engineered rotary lobe pumps, submersible pumps and advanced macerating technologies. Their pumps deliver long-lasting performance even in the most demanding water, wastewater, and heavy-industry environments. Their extensive range includes the BLUEline Legend, BLUEline Nova, and ONIXline rotary lobe pumps, the Multicrusher, OrbitGrinder, and Rotorrake macerators, and more.
When combined with our custom engineering, Boerger’s proven designs deliver liquid pumping solutions that not only adapt to your operational needs but also give you distinct advantages and benefits.
Core Design Advantages
All Boerger pumps share the same strengths:
- Self-priming – Each pump can evacuate air and begin pumping without manual priming, simplifying startup and reducing downtime.
- Reversibility – By design, these pumps can easily switch direction of rotation. This easy reverse-running is useful for applications, such as line clearing, clean-in-place (CIP) procedures, or when switching between loading and unloading tasks.
- High resistance to solids and chemicals – All pumps are built with rugged materials and rotor-casing designs that don’t touch, thus minimising wear; ideal for handling abrasive slurries, slops, or aggressive chemical mixtures without clogging or corrosion.
- Short-term dry run capability – These can briefly and safely run dry due to their oil-filled intermediate chambers and robust seal arrangements, which help protect components during short starts or stops.
Boerger MIP®
Boerger pumps are also designed for easy serviceability, thanks to their patented MIP® (Maintenance in Place) standard. This allows all wetted wear parts (rotors, rotor tips, casing liners, shaft seals, etc.) to be inspected, serviced, or replaced without removing the pump from its installation or disconnecting pipework and drives.
This means you can conduct rapid on-site maintenance work at your convenience.
Boerger + Flo-Max custom engineering
With our local engineering expertise, Boerger pumps can also be further custom-configured for your specific application. You can adapt them to Australia’s harsh climate conditions, integrate with existing infrastructure, or enhance performance for challenging fluids.
Benefits of Boerger designs + Flo-Max custom solutions:
- Modular wear-part design for fast, cost-effective replacements
- Easy shaft seal changes without full disassembly
- Quick-release cover for rapid inspection and servicing
- Reduced downtime and maintenance costs
- Extended service life with less disruption to operations
