Blackmer® Sliding Vane Pumps Deliver Optimized
Scale-To-Scale Times for Peter Cremer North America
Grand Rapids, MI — Peter Cremer North America, LP, is a full-line oleochemical manufacturer and supplier with 84 storage tanks, holding a total of 6 million gallons of product, at its Cincinnati, OH, terminal facility. In looking for ways to optimize the scale-to-scale time of its delivery fleet, Peter Cremer turned to Blackmer® and its energy efficient line of sliding vane pumps, which have been designed with the robust operation and chemical-handling capability that is necessary for liquid-terminal operations.
Many liquid-terminals can be adversely affected by slow scale-to-scale times, namely the amount of time it takes for a transport truck or railcar to enter a facility and get loaded or unloaded before it departs. Since Peter Cremer began utilizing Blackmer sliding vane pumps for its loading and unloading operations, their scale-to-scale time is at an optimum level.
"Scale in to scale out with a Blackmer pump for a truck with 6,000 gallons is 20 to 25 minutes," said Mike Doll, Facility Manager at Peter Cremer North America. "That's awesome. For me, Blackmer is the best pump. I wish everything else ran as good as Blackmer."
Blackmer sliding vane pumps are able to offer the scale-to-scale efficiencies that terminal operators like Peter Cremer seek because they have been designed to run dry for short periods and have self-priming and line-stripping capabilities. Blackmer sliding vane pumps are also easy to maintain since the vanes can be replaced without removing the pump from the piping system.
To illustrate just how effectively Blackmer pumps enhance the scale-to-scale performance at the Peter Cremer North America terminal, a video has been created that can be viewed on Blackmer's YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/BlackmerGlobal).
