About Ice Cream Transfer Pump
Ice Cream Transfer Pump
MICROTECH ENGINEERING
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.
Hygienic and Durable ConstructionEngineered with high-grade SS316/SS304 stainless steel and a mirror-polished finish, this rotary lobe pump meets strict sanitary standards. Its compact and robust design ensures reliability for continuous operation in the food industry, especially in ice cream and dairy processing applications. All contact surfaces are easy to clean and resist corrosion, ensuring product integrity.
Efficient Performance and Versatile OperationCapable of handling viscosities up to 1,00,000 cP and particle sizes up to 8 mm, the pump delivers precise, low-noise operation. The positive displacement system provides consistent suction up to 4 meters and handles flow rates of 1,0008,000 LPH at pressures up to 8 Bar. The unit performs optimally in a wide temperature range, making it highly adaptable for varying production environments.
Advanced Features for Safe Food HandlingIncorporating mirror polishing, mechanical seals, Tri-Clamp/SMS Union ports, and CIP/SIP compatibility, the pump upholds rigorous hygiene protocols. Manual or automatic control operation modes offer operational flexibility. Its base-mounted, floor-standing structure ensures straightforward installation and maintenance for food processing facilities in India and beyond.
