Sanitary Lobe Pump
Our Sanitary Lobe Pump is a versatile Positive Displacement Pump specifically designed for the hygienic processing industry. The difference between the Sanitary Lobe Pump and a Gear Pump is that, unlike a Gear Pump, the Lobe Pump features lobes that don’t physically touch, providing significant advantages for certain media types including pumping both low and high-viscosity products with minimal shear forces. Designed for energy efficiency, this pump boasts a special rotor-shaft mounting for accurate positioning and a backlash-free connection, accommodating lubrication and accounting for thermal expansion. The unique gear housing design eliminates cross-contamination of the pumped product with gear oils, ensuring a clean and hygienic operation.
Typical applications for our Sanitary Lobe Pump:
- Bakery Products
- Beverage Production
- Canned Goods
- Confectionary Products
- Cosmetics
- Dairy
- Meat Production
- Pharmaceuticals
- Chemical
- Efficiency: this pump ensures optimal performance with its low noise, minimal shear forces and excellent energy efficiency
- Design & Execution: the pump’s design offers great flexibility, featuring a 4-directional gear housing mounting, allowing for bi-directional flow and the option for horizontal or vertical mounting. Additionally, the spacious cavities and large spaces between lobes enable the gentle pumping of liquids containing significant solids
- Various Sizes: with 8 different sizes available across the range of models, this pump can handle a maximum capacity of up to 82 m3/hr and a pressure of up to 10 Bar
- Tailored to Your Needs: the wide range of executions and sizes within this pump series make it highly customisable, ensuring it can be tailored precisely to meet your specific requirements
- Easy Maintenance: the pump body and cover can be quickly and easily removed and installed for repair purposes
- Reliable Mechanical Seal: the pump comes with a single mechanical seal as a standard feature, with the option to request double mechanical seals. Pumps with flush double mechanical seals can run dry continuously
- Contamination-Free: thanks to its unique gear housing design, the pump ensures complete isolation of the gear oil from the pumped fluid zone, preventing any risk of cross-contamination
- Suitable for CIP/SIP: the pump is well-suited for CIP (Clean in Place) and SIP (Sterilise in Place) processes, ensuring thorough cleaning and sterilisation
- Hygiene & Safety Assurance: the pump is constructed using FDA-approved food contact materials and it is fully compliant with CE standards, guaranteeing both hygiene and safety in its operation
