- Pump Type
- Positive Displacement Lobe Pump
- Typical Flow Rate
- For this class of pump, flow rates typically range from a few hundred litres per hour up to several cubic metres per hour, depending on product viscosity and motor speed.
- Inlet/Outlet Connections
- Commonly features hygienic connections, with sizes like the 40mm specified, suitable for standard food-grade pipework.
- Motor Power
- Units of this type typically use motors ranging from 0.37kW to 5.5kW, with 0.55kW being common for smaller to medium-duty applications.
- Power Supply
- Industrial units like this are typically powered by a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.
- Materials of Construction
- Wetted parts are almost exclusively 316L stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food applications.
- Viscosity Range
- Lobe pumps are well-suited for a wide range of viscosities, from water-like liquids up to highly viscous pastes and gels.
- Hygienic Design
- Designed for Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilise-in-Place (SIP) processes, with smooth surfaces and minimal dead spaces.
