The Project:
Long-distance pipe heading, protective leg for oil pipeline, St. Petersburg, Russia
Executing Company:
Herrenknecht AG, Schwanau, Germany
The Problem:
For the operation of a mix shield a bentonite suspension is mixed in a container. A pump circulates the mixture via a pipe circuit. Bentonite is added via a venturi nozzle on the pipe. Very heavy wear due to bentonite.
Our Solution:
1x KTZ45.5 for 24h continuous operation. This pump has been running since July 2001 without breakdowns and without any visible wear.
