Albany's Internal Lobe

Albany Pumps Logo

ALBANY’s range of internal lobe pumps called L-type follow the concept of the original Stothert and Pitt Internal Lobe Pump. The company’s lobe pumps are engineered in a number of material combinations to handle different types of fluids. These pumps boast extreme proficiency at pumping high viscosity liquids at low rotational speeds or low viscosity liquids at synchronous motor speeds. The Albany L range is ideal for several applications in the sugar industry, thanks to its ability to move high viscosity and abrasive products.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The pumping action of the rotary lobe pump is generated by the counter-rotation of two pumping elements called rotors within the rotor case. The timing gears and rotors are located on shafts, which in turn are mounted within an external gearbox and supported by bearings. The timing gears are responsible for transferring energy from the driveshaft to the driven shaft, synchronizing the rotors so that they rotate without contact with each other. As the rotors pass the suction port, the cavity generated increases creating a pressure decrease, which induces the pumped medium to flow into the rotor case.
