The SMM 2008 trade fair in Hamburg ended with record visitor numbers this year. According to the exhibition’s organizers, more than 50,000 international guests attended the four-day event, an increase from 47,000 at the 2006 show. The largest faction of visitors, representing 17 percent of the total, came from shipping and navigation companies, followed by the shipbuilding and maritime industries as well as engineering and plant construction firms. With a multitude of innovative products, the SMM is considered the leading fair in the shipbuilding industry and the definitive platform for decision-makers in the maritime industries. For the German shipbuilding industry and its suppliers, this year's fair was seen as a great success. Bornemann will be exhibiting at the SMM 2010 as well, from September 7-10, 2010, at the Hamburg trade fair grounds.
“Top efficiency by the pioneer in pump manufacturing” This was the slogan under which Bornemann presented its myriad new models at the SMM fair in Hall A2.
The success of Bornemann pumps in the marine and shipbuilding industry did not come out of nowhere, in fact, Bornemann pumps is a pioneer when it comes to screw spindle pumps. Whether in new ships or refurbished ships, Bornemann pumps have always covered a broad range of tasks for filling and emptying tankers as well as providing reliable solutions in the machine room. Bornemann's flagship product is its screw spindle pump, which comes in various design and performance sizes and is used depending on the task on hand and the requirements. Nowadays, Bornemann pump solutions can be found in almost all ships, particularly supply ships used in the world's oil industry. If efficiency and reliability are a top priority, then the decision has to be Bornemann.

All this comes with a global customer service that you can only expect it from the pump pioneers themselves.
Performance variety and reliability
Deciding which pump is used in a ship naturally depends on the requirements - different viscosities require different pump concepts and designs. So it is good to know that Bornemann screw spindle pumps offer a unique performance range that can meet any requirement. This means that changes in the pump tasks can also be overcome in terms of efficiency, such as increasing flow rates or the most varying viscosities. Whichever Bornemann screw spindle pump ends up on the ship – it will function continually, reliably and without any fluctuations in the flow rate. And for very special requirements, Bornemann offers individual package solutions, including monitoring and control – high-end pumps for special requirements.
Areas of application within the marine industry
Bornemann screw spindle pumps have proven their worth internationally as loading pumps on tankers, as transfer pumps for heavy-duty HFO qualities and as lubricating pumps for supplying the main engine. Bornemann progressive cavity pumps are used as sludge pumps, bilge pumps, as pumps to feed oil extractors, and to empty tanks (residue pumps).
