About Horizontal Rotary Lobe Pump
Horizontal Rotary Lobe Pump
Lobe pumps are used in a variety of industries including, pulp and paper, chemical, food, beverage, Pharmaceutical, and biotechnology. They are popular in these Diverse industries because they offer superb sanitary qualities, high efficiency, reliability, corrosion resistance, and good clean-in-place and sterilize-in-place (CIP/SIP) characteristics.These pumps offer a variety of lobe options including single, biwing, tri-lobe (shown), and multi-lobe.Rotary lobe pumps are Non-contacting and have large pumping chambers, allowing them to handle solids such as cherries or olives without damage. They are also used to handle slurries, pastes, and a wide variety of other liquids. If wetted, they offer self- priming performance. A gentle pumping action minimizes product degradation. 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.
Engineered for Versatile ApplicationsOur Horizontal Rotary Lobe Pump stands out for its ability to manage a wide range of viscosities, particle sizes, and temperatures, making it suitable for sectors such as food, pharma, chemicals, and dairy. The hygienic mirror-polished finish and robust sealing ensure it handles sensitive and demanding fluids efficiently while preventing contamination.
Superior Performance and Hygienic SafetyWith a self-priming design and bi-directional operation, the pump handles up to 1,000,000 cP viscosity and 25 mm particle size. The use of mechanical seals, mirror-polished stainless steel, and CIP/SIP compatibility maximizes hygiene and reduces maintenance downtime, meeting the strictest safety and process requirements.
Flexible Installation and MaintenanceAvailable with thread, clamp, or flange connections in DN25DN100, and supporting inlet/outlet sizes from 14 inches, this pump accommodates varied piping layouts. Its easy-to-clean, low-shear design, combined with manual or optional automated controls, simplifies integration and operation for dealers, distributors, and end users in India.
FAQs of Horizontal Rotary Lobe Pump:
Q: How does the horizontal rotary lobe pump handle highly viscous or particle-laden fluids?
A: The tri-lobe/bi-lobe rotor design and positive displacement principle allow the pump to move fluids with viscosities up to 1,000,000 cP and particles up to 25 mm. This makes it suitable for transferring slurries, syrups, creams, and other challenging media with gentle, low-shear action.
Q: What maintenance process is recommended for the hygienic rotary lobe pump?
A: Routine maintenance includes checking the oil level in the oil bath lubrication system, inspecting the mechanical seals, and using CIP/SIP for internal cleaning. The mirror-polished surfaces (Ra 0.6m) reduce residue buildup, streamlining sanitation and compliance with hygienic standards.
Q: Where can these pumps be utilized within industrial sectors in India?
A: These pumps are suitable for use in food processing, pharmaceuticals, dairy, and chemical industries. Their hygienic design, robust construction, and compliance with ISO 9001 make them ideal for applications requiring contamination-free and efficient handling of liquids.
Q: What are the main benefits of the mirror-polished finish on the pump surfaces?
A: The mirror-polished finish minimizes surface roughness (Ra 0.6m), preventing microbial growth and residue adhesion. This enhances hygiene, simplifies cleaning, and ensures product integrity in sensitive industries such as food, pharmaceutical, and dairy processing.
Q: How does the self-priming feature improve the pumps usage?
A: Self-priming capability enables the pump to evacuate air from the suction line, allowing it to start pumping even when the inlet is not fully flooded. This is especially useful in installations requiring flexible operation and minimizes downtime during process changes or cleaning cycles.
Q: What is the maximum flow rate and pressure that can be achieved?
A: The pump is engineered to deliver flow rates from 1 to 50 m/hr and discharge pressures up to 12 bar (1.2 MPa), making it suitable for applications demanding both high capacity and efficient pressure management.
