Wildindag IN1 CC16 VT D40 Lobe pump

• Transferring viscous liquids and slurries within food production lines.
• Handling delicate products such as yoghurts, creams, and fruit preparations without damage.
• Metering ingredients in batching processes due to their positive displacement nature.
• Circulating cleaning-in-place (CIP) solutions within processing systems.
• Moving high-solids content products like meat emulsions or doughs.

Typical capacity

For this class of lobe pump, capacities commonly range from a few hundred litres per hour up to several cubic metres per hour, depending on the specific lobe design and drive speed.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK, with motor power varying based on required flow and pressure.

Inlet/Outlet connection size

The listed 55mm inlet/outlet indicates a common size for medium-duty transfer applications, often using hygienic clamp (e.g., Tri-Clamp) or flanged connections.

Construction material

As a food-grade pump, the wetted parts are typically constructed from 316L stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Operating pressure

Lobe pumps are capable of generating moderate to high pressures, typically up to 10-15 bar for standard models, suitable for overcoming system resistance.

Viscosity range

These pumps are well-suited for handling a wide range of viscosities, from thin liquids to highly viscous pastes, due to their positive displacement design.

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

  Lobe pumps offer gentle product handling, making them ideal for shear-sensitive fluids. They also provide consistent flow rates, making them suitable for metering and dosing applications.

• How do I determine if this pump is suitable for my product?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used lobe pump?

• Can this pump handle solids?

• What certifications should I look for in a food-grade pump?

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.
