Desmet Ballestra SpA, based in Milan and Busto Arsizio – Italy, is the company of the Group
specialized in the design and supply of plants for the production of
Detergents, Surfactants, Chemicals and Soap.
With the acquisition in 2017 of IIT Srl, a qualified Italian manufacturer of equipment
for the surfactants industry, Desmet Ballestra SpA further expanded its portfolio of
proprietary items specifically designed for application in the surfactants and
detergents markets, including:
Desmet Ballestra High Pressure Pump (HPP) belongs to the last generation of reciprocating
positive displacement multi-plungers pump, specifically designed to pump, at high pressure,
concentrated slurry and abrasive fluids in surfactants and detergents powder production plants.
The High Pressure Pump model takes advantage of the outstanding experience of Desmet
Ballestra in the design and supply of tailor-made solutions for the surfactants and detergents
industries with installation in hundreds of complete plants and process units.
The high-quality material and robust and compact design of the components, suitable for severe
operating conditions, provide long lifetime, high efficiency, low maintenance and trouble-free
operation.
The design of the pump allows easy accessibility to all components without special tools.
Operating Principle
Reciprocating multi plungers pump with delivery design pressure up to 100 bar in continuous operation.
Desmet Ballestra HPP is designed for maximum performance and efficiency as well as minimum
maintenance cost by means of the following main features:
· Monobloc cylinder design for easy and fast accessibility to all internal components
· Gear reducer having Agma factor >2 to ensure lower operating temperature with consequent
lower wearing and tearing reduction.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
· Pumping of highly abrasive and concentrated slurry for spray dried detergent powder
· Pumping of highly viscous paste for SLS drying applications in sulphonation plants
· The high operational flexibility of the HPP enables a wide range of other industrial applications such as:
· Chemical
· Food
· Cosmetics
· Fertilizers
Pulsation damper
High shear
in-line mixer
The proposed solution ensures a constant discharge pressure and a finely dispersed slurry feeding to the spray dryer.
