Challenge

A loyal customer approached Vaikon for assistance with dimensioning and selecting pumps for their new, state-of-the-art plastic recycling installation.

The project required a deep understanding of specific applications, knowledge of the unique challenges posed by plastic recycling processes, and the ability to choose appropriate pump solutions to ensure satisfactory performance and efficiency.

Solution

Leveraging their experience with the client and other similar applications, Vaikon carefully analyzed and studied the project requirements. They considered factors such as varying particle sizes, the possibility of clogging, and the abrasive nature of certain recycled plastics. These elements required pumps to handle abrasive materials and consistently perform in these challenging conditions.

Vaikon proposed a diverse range of slurry pumps tailored to the abrasive nature of the plastic recycling process. The final selection included 32 horizontal Schegler® Vigor slurry pumps, and 15 submersible Minto® pumps specifically designed to handle the demands of the recycling plant. Vaikon ensured that all pumps were delivered within the predefined deadline, aligning with the client’s expectations.

Vaikon committed to keeping all spare parts and pumps for the project in their warehouse to further support the customer while offering prompt and accurate customer service, providing maintenance and 24/7 on-demand support.
