Wrightflow CP10 Lobe pump

• Transferring viscous food products such as sauces, jams, and dairy.
• Handling shear-sensitive liquids like creams and yoghurts without damage.
• Metering ingredients in batch processing operations.
• Circulating cleaning solutions in Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems.

Pump type

Positive displacement lobe pump, suitable for viscous and shear-sensitive fluids.

Materials of construction

Typically stainless steel (e.g., 316L) for wetted parts, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Inlet/Outlet connections

Commonly hygienic connections such as RJT, DIN, or Tri-Clamp, with sizes typically ranging from 25mm to 80mm for this class of pump.

Motor power

For the CP10 series, motors commonly range from 0.25 kW to 2.2 kW, depending on the required flow rate and pressure.

Power supply

Typically 3-phase industrial supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Typical capacity

Flow rates for CP10 pumps can typically range from a few hundred litres per hour up to approximately 10,000 litres per hour, depending on product viscosity and pump speed.

Maximum pressure

Units of this type commonly handle pressures up to 10-15 bar.

• What are the advantages of a lobe pump for food processing?

  Lobe pumps are excellent for handling viscous and shear-sensitive products due to their gentle pumping action. They also offer good hygienic design and are relatively easy to clean.

• Can this pump handle solids?

• What maintenance is typically required for a lobe pump?

• Is this pump suitable for Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems?

• How do I determine the correct pump size for my application?

Food processing pumps are valued for reliability and durability in continuous operations. Buyers typically prioritise corrosion resistance, hygiene compliance, and consistent flow rates. When purchasing used units, inspecting seals, impellers and motor condition proves essential. Industry sentiment favours models with straightforward maintenance requirements and availability of spare parts. Stainless steel construction and gentle handling capabilities for delicate products are consistently sought features.
