Food Grade Rotary Lobe Pumps
Low shear. High Efficiency.
From heavy fluids to delicate products, hygienic rotary lobe pumps are the positive displacement pump workhorses for pumping high-viscosity or shear-sensitive fluids in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries.
Is a Rotary Lobe Pump the Workhorse you need?
Hygienic and food grade rotary lobe pumps are ideal for use in food, beverage and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
The stainless-steel construction of the pump casing, shafts and lobes (or rotors) make lobe pumps ideal for a wide range of sanitary duties.
A great solution for low viscosity fluids like food oils, rotary lobe pumps also excel in the gentle handling of viscous fluids – even fragile soft solids and shear-sensitive slurries.
Shear-Sensitive Pumping
Non-contacting stainless-steel lobes turn at low speeds within the pump casing to gently ‘scoop’ fluids and soft solids into large, open cavities and transfer the pumped media continuously to the discharge side of the pump, keeping the product intact.
Pump Heavy Fluids
Being true positive displacement pumps, the internal tolerances are incredibly tight and the physical rotation of the lobes forces a fixed volume of fluid through the line with every single turn, regardless of how thick or resistant the material is.
Avoid Fluid Contamination
With no metal-to-metal or rubber-to-metal friction in the fluid pumping chamber, lobe pumps perform for extended periods. This no-contact stainless-steel design means no more metal shavings or rubber particles contaminating your product .
Typical Applications
The reliability of the rotary lobe pumping principle has been proven over many decades and its hygienic design and easy cleanability make it suitable for all sanitary fluids.
