These are manufactured from good quality
food grade SS-316 and are also available with steam jacket. Their Trilobe
design & timing gear drive enhances the performance of the pumps and are
popular in diverse industries because they offer superb sanitary qualities,
high efficiency, reliability, corrosion resistance, and good clean-in-place
and sterilize-in-place characteristics.
Lobe pumps are similar to
external gear pumps in operation in that fluid flows around the interior of
the casing. Unlike external gear pumps, however, the lobes do not make
contact. Lobe contact is prevented by external timing gears located in the
gearbox. Pump shaft support bearings are located in the gearbox, and since
the bearings are out of the pumped liquid, pressure is limited by bearing
location and shaft deflection.
Rotary lobe pumps are
non-contacting and have large pumping chambers, allowing them to handle
solids such as cherries or olives without damage and are also used to handle
slurries, pastes & a wide variety of other liquids. They also offer
reversible flows and can operate dry for long periods of time. Flow is
relatively independent of changes in process pressure, so output is constant
and continuous.
ApplicationsUseful
for pumping & transfer of Chocolates, Jams, Jelly, Syrups, Paints, Dyes,
Polymers, Soaps, Surfactants, Adhesives, Rubber, Dairy Products, Chutny,
Fruit Pulp, Yogurt, Gelatin, Glucose, Glycerine, Honey, Ketchup, Sorbitol,
Soya Sauce, Toothpaste etc.
