Trading and engineering company focusing on process pumps
In 2019, Copenhagen Pumpe was contacted for an urgent renovation of an IMO D4 pump at Cementfabrikken in Aalborg. In collaboration with a local service partner, we disassembled and operated the pump within 24 hours during the summer holiday week 28. We are very pleased that we managed to solve the customer's task, the success criteria are clearly a good insight, skilled craftsmanship and a solid collaboration from the service partner.
Making cement requires heat, lots of heat. For this high-temperature process, fossil fuels including oil are typically burned.
Imo E4 and D4 pumps are used at the Danish cement factory when the high combustion temperatures must be achieved. The pumps supply a fuel nozzle and atomize the oil with 60 bar.
Imo AB is originally Swedish design and the E4 and D4 pumps in particular are Imo's proven technology over several decades for this particular task. Cylinder and rotors are typically manufactured together and there are only a few parts in this type of pump, which is why they do not require much maintenance. It is not uncommon for this type of pump to have a lifetime of 20+ years with very few replacement parts.
