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.
Versatile Design for Challenging FluidsEngineered with bi-wing, tri-lobe, or multi-lobe rotors, the BUMP Lobe Pump is ideal for handling fluids with high viscosity and shear sensitivity. Its positive suction and self-priming capabilities allow for effortless transfer of slurries, solids-laden liquids, and delicate products, making it reliable for complex industrial processes.
Built for Industrial Standards and SafetyConstructed from durable stainless steel or cast iron, the pump meets international standards for hygiene and safety. It features IP55/IP65 protection classes, mechanical seals, and customizable surface finishes, ensuring both longevity and suitability for food, pharmaceutical, and chemical applications.
Flexible Installation and ControlAvailable in horizontal or vertical mounting and foot or base plate configurations, the BUMP Lobe Pump is easily integrated into existing systems. Users can choose from manual or automated control systems and benefit from options like low noise operation, various port connections, and a broad voltage/frequency range.
FAQs of BUMP LOBE PUMP:
Q: How does the BUMP Lobe Pump handle shear-sensitive and viscous fluids?
A: The pump uses rotary lobe technology with specialized bi-wing, tri-lobe, or multi-lobe rotors. This design allows gentle handling of fluids, minimizing shear and maintaining the integrity of shear-sensitive products, even with viscosities up to 1,000,000 cps.
Q: What industries and applications are best suited for this pump?
A: This pump is ideal for industries such as food processing, dairy, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. It excels in processes requiring transfer of viscous liquids, slurries, syrups, creams, and oils, while adhering to stringent hygiene and safety standards.
Q: When should I choose mirror or matt surface finish for my application?
A: A mirror finish is typically selected for applications needing the highest level of cleanliness, such as pharmaceuticals or dairy processing. A matt finish may be preferred for less critical environments or where aesthetics and anti-glare properties are desired.
Q: Where can BUMP Lobe Pumps be installed?
A: They can be installed in both horizontal and vertical orientations, as well as mounted on a foot or base plate. Their adaptability allows integration into a wide range of industrial setups, either new or existing systems across India and international locations.
Q: What is the maximum suction and flow rate the pump can achieve?
A: Depending on the selected variant, the pump can achieve a maximum suction of 5 to 7 meters and a flow rate ranging from 1,000 to 40,000 liters per hour, making it suitable for diverse operational requirements.
Q: How does the self-priming feature benefit users?
A: Self-priming capability allows the pump to evacuate air from the suction line and begin pumping without manual intervention, streamlining the process, and reducing downtime or operational complexity for users.
Q: What makes maintenance and cleaning convenient with this pump?
A: Designed for easy cleanability, the pump offers CIP/SIP compatibility and hygienic construction. Its mechanical seals and oil bath/grease-packed lubrication systems contribute to reduced maintenance needs and ensured longevity.
