Lobe Pump - Skid-Mounted Type
Rotary lobe pumps are hygienic positive displacement pumps designed for gentle and efficient transfer of viscous, shear-sensitive, and solid-laden fluids. These pumps operate using rotating lobes that create continuous flow with minimal product damage, making them ideal for food, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications.
The pump shown is a skid-mounted rotary lobe pump, where the pump and motor are mounted on a common stainless steel base for stable installation, precise alignment, and ease of maintenance. Rotary lobe pumps are also available in close-coupled designs for compact installations and lower space requirements.
Manufactured in SS304 / SS316 / SS316L, rotary lobe pumps feature a hygienic design with smooth internal surfaces, easy dismantling, and compatibility with CIP/SIP processes. They are suitable for handling products such as creams, syrups, yogurt, sauces, pastes, concentrates, and other high-viscosity media.
Key Features
- Positive displacement, low-shear pumping action
- Suitable for viscous and sensitive products
- Hygienic design with easy cleaning and maintenance
- Available in close-coupled and skid-mounted configurations
- Tri-clamp or hygienic process connections
- Reliable performance in continuous and batch processes
Lobe Pump - Close-Coupled Type
Close-coupled rotary lobe pumps are designed for compact installations where space saving and easy integration are critical. In this design, the pump is directly mounted to the drive unit, eliminating the need for a long base frame while maintaining hygienic and reliable operation.
The gentle pumping action ensures consistent and controlled product transfer without damaging shear-sensitive or particulate-laden media.
Typical Applications
- Yogurt and dairy products
- Creams and syrups
- Sauces, pastes, and concentrates
- Gels and cosmetic products
- Pharmaceutical and biotech fluids
