As market leaders of wood preservatives, CSI Wood Protection Limited who form part of Rockwood Additives group require the facility to handle hazardous and corrosive materials at their production facility in Barrow in Furness to produce first-class products.
Environmental considerations are a primary consideration when selecting their fluid handling equipment and Verder’s range of lined magnetic drive pumps fitted this requirement perfectly.
Process points
As market leaders of wood preservatives, CSI Wood Protection demand a high-quality production process to ensure their customers have a consistent and accurate product.
The production plant in Barrow-in-Furness required a pump to move the base product for wood preservative from storage tank to mixing tank.
With the requirement to handle hazardous and corrosive materials, environmental considerations are a priority when selecting their fluid handling equipment. Verder’s range of lined magnetic drive pumps fitted this requirement perfectly. Crucially, the Verdermag range is leak-free with no mechanical seals.
With the Verder range of lined magnetically driven pumps offering enhanced performance characteristics, in particular a market leading low NPSHr, technical consultation from their UK facility and external engineering support, CSI were able to proceed with confidence. The confidence was well placed as the installed pump has provided trouble-free operation since its installation over twelve months ago. Indeed its performance was so good that Plant Manager, Derek Ellis, is looking at replacing further pumps at the facility. Derek commented
“It has been a pleasure to work with a UK supplier who understands my requirements and offered a no hassle consultation and a product to suit his process.”
Verder are delighted to be working with one of the UK’s leading suppliers of wood preservatives and are confident that the Verdermag range will continue to provide CSI with continued maintenance-free performance in the future.
Verder were able to provide spares and advice at CSI Wood Protection’s convenience.
