SLH-5G

The Bornemann SLH-5G is a marine-rated twin-screw pump designed for cargo and transfer service applications. This pump is specifically engineered to handle crude oil, products, and sludge, making it a versatile solution for various maritime operations. The electric drive configuration ensures reliable and efficient operation under demanding conditions. Common issues that may arise with the SLH-5G include seal leakage, screw wear due to abrasive cargo residues, gearbox and timing gear wear, and bearing overheating. To maintain optimal performance, it is crucial to regularly inspect and replace mechanical seals, bearings, timing gears, screw/casing wear parts, and gasket kits as needed. During major planned maintenance services or drydock inspections, operators should check the differential pressure, monitor vibration levels, and assess the condition of the gearbox oil. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of wear parts are key to extending the pump’s service life and ensuring continuous operation.
