Rotary Lobe Pumps

Our Lobe Pumps, offering self-priming abilities when wetted, are ideal for handling slurries, pastes & fluids containing solids, preserving product quality through gentle pumping. Reaching temperatures up to 140°C, these pumps support CIP & SIP, with EHEDG-certified & FDA-approved variants available for the utmost level of sanitation and hygiene.

Lobe Pumps, also known as Rotary Lobe Pumps, are a type of Positive Displacement Pump that feature two rotating lobes. This design creates suction which draws more fluid into the pump resulting in the necessary pressure required to transfer fluid out the discharge of the pump.

Lobe Pumps are well suited to a range of applications such as slurries, pastes, and those containing solids. They are particularly effective in preserving the quality of the product and can transfer solids without causing damage.

• Versatile fluid handling capabilities
• Gentle handling of products

Yes, however, Lobe pumps are only self-priming when wetted.

To choose the appropriate Lobe Pump for your application, ask yourself the following questions:

• What media will be pumped? Consider the chemical composition of the media you will be pumping – is it chemically neutral or corrosive, shear sensitive etc. Does it require ATEX-approved models?
• What is the viscosity of the media you intend to pump? Consider viscosity limitations, shear sensitivity etc
• Do you need to pumps fluids containing solids?
• Is your environments or fluid explosive?
• Do you require self-priming capabilities?
• Will the pump be stationary or will it need to be portable?
• Will you require additional accessories for your pump? e.g heating and cooler jackets, inverters, lubrication tanks etc

Yes, Lobe Pumps support CIP and SIP processes for optimal cleaning and sterilisation.

Regular maintenance is crucial to keeping your pump performing at its best and ensuring a long life span. To look after your Lobe Pump, you should:

• Gearbox oil levels should regularly be checked to ensure no leakage
• Monitor suction and discharge levels
• Monitor pressure and flow if your system features a flushing system
• Listen for excessive noise which could indicate that the lobes are dragging or that there are wear issues on the bearings or gears
• If they pumps features a heating or cooling system, the temperature should be checked regularly
