Fristam FL275L Lobe Pump

• Transferring viscous food products such as sauces, creams, and yoghurts.
• Handling delicate products like fruit pieces or curds without damage.
• Metering and dosing ingredients in food production lines.
• Circulating cleaning-in-place (CIP) solutions within processing systems.

Typical capacity

For this class of lobe pump, capacities commonly range from 5,000 to 30,000 litres per hour, depending on product viscosity and pump speed.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK, with appropriate motor protection.

Inlet/Outlet connections

The 45mm inlet and outlet indicate suitability for standard process piping, often using hygienic clamp or threaded connections.

Variable speed drive

The inclusion of variable speed allows for precise flow control and adaptability to different product viscosities and process requirements.

Flow meter integration

An integrated Endress + Hauser Promass 40E flow meter provides accurate mass flow measurement, crucial for quality control and batching.

Construction material

Stainless steel construction is standard for food processing equipment, ensuring hygiene, corrosion resistance, and ease of cleaning.

Mounting

Being skid-mounted and mobile enhances flexibility, allowing the pump to be easily moved and integrated into various production areas.
