Pomac Pumps’ EHEDG Lobe Pump is a highly versatile option for a wide range of Sanitary applications and is most commonly used in the Food, Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical industries. The Pump features CIP and SIP systems for optimal cleaning and sterilisation as well as EHEDG certification to meet the highest standards for Hygiene levels.
The Sanitary Lobe Pump design means it can either be installed vertically or horizontally for easy installation and can be customised with different pump accessories to suit your application.
The PLP Sanitary Lobe Pump is produced specifically for hygienic and sanitary applications within the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. The series is fully compliant with EHEDG standards and has been designed with a heavy emphasis on achieving maximum performance & efficiency whilst offering compactness, robustness, cleanability & low maintenance costs thanks to its front pull-out design. The Lobe Pump range consists of 11 pump sizes, depending on the flow and solids passage requirements. Similarly to other pumps in Pomac’s range, the PLP Pump is entirely machined from cast Stainless Steel AISI 316L with a surface roughness of <0.8 as standard (<0.5 on request) to provide increased corrosion resistance.
Competitors units employ a cast iron gearbox with epoxy paint which can become eroded over time and need replacing/repairing. Pomac Pump’s Lobe Pump shafts are constructed from Duplex Stainless Steel 1.4462 to provide extra rigidity in operation and the pump can be fitted with a number of different sealing options and elastomer materials to suit almost any application.
With capacities up to 110 m³/hr and discharge pressures up to 15 Bar, this range of Sanitary Lobe Pumps is suitable for a wide variety of applications. This coupled with some key features and benefits puts it apart from its competition as one of the most versatile Lobe Pumps on the market today. With the delivery of each product, the customer receives a lobe rotor tool and dummy rotors to facilitate easy removal and replacement of lobes and mechanical seals, further reducing downtime.

PLP Sanitary Lobe Pump is available with several, interchangeable, shaft sealing options. They are modularly built and are front pull-out by design making replacement and re-assembly very quick and easy. The type of sealing is dependent on the application requirements and can be supplied in the following variants & material combinations:
Materials: Silicon Carbide/Silicon Carbide and Tungsten Carbide/Tungsten Carbide sliding rings Elastomers: NBR, EPDM, Viton, PTFE, Kalrez
The PLP Sanitary Lobe Pumps can be fitted with either Spring-Loaded or Air Operated Safety Relief Valves. The opening pressures of which are adjustable by means of a set screw. The valve is mounted directly to the pump cover to facilitate easy maintenance and to guarantee optimal hygienic conditions. When the valve is opened a by-pass is created between the pressure and suction sides of the pump. When the differential pressure within the pump head exceeds the pre-set value on the valve, the valve will open and protect the pump from the deadheading. Below is a table detailing the models of pumps which can be fitted with either type:
Safety Relief Valve Type | PLP 1-¾ PLP 1-1 PLP 1-1.5 | PLP 1.5-2 | PLP 2-1.5 PLP 2-2 PLP 2-2.5 | PLP 3-2 PLP 3-3 PLP 3-4 | PLP 4-4 |
Spring Loaded | X | X | X | X | |
Air Operated | X |
PLP Lobe Pumps can be fitted with Heating / Cooling Jackets to maintain fluid temperatures which are optimal to the pump performance and system requirements. These are supplied in the following variants:
Depending on what size of PLP Lobe Pumps you have on-site, some models have common spares, detailed in the following tables, which can vastly reduce the number of different spares that are required on-site.

The PLP Sanitary Lobe Pump is a Rotary Positive Displacement Pump. Its operation is based on the counter-rotation of 2 lobes in the pump casing. Both lobes are mounted onto their own shafts which are supported by bearing cartridges mounted directly onto the pump casing. One of the pump shafts is externally driven and an internal gear assembly drives the other shaft in the opposing direction. The screws rotate synchronously in opposing directions without touching.
When the lobes rotate and pass the suction port the volume between them increases and create a vacuum which causes the liquid to enter the suction port and the pump casing. During the rotation of the lobes, a fixed amount of fluid is conveyed through the pump. As the lobes approach the discharge port the volume between them decreases which creates a pressure build-up, causing the fluid to flow out of the discharge port.
