Lobe pumps offer superb sanitary qualities, high efficiency, reliability, corrosion resistance, and good clean-in-place and sterilise-in-place (CIP/SIP) characteristics.
They can handle high viscosity fluids and solids without damaging them.
How does a Lobe Pump Work?
Lobe pumps work similarly to gear pumps, except that the lobes do not come in contact with each other.
In addition, lobe pumps have larger pumping chambers than gear pumps, which enable them to transfer slurries. They also tend to move slower in order to handle shear-sensitive materials.
The lobe vanes are usually made of stainless steel and are very highly polished. Lobe pumps are known for their long-running lives.
