Omac B110 Lobe Pump

Applications & Use Cases

• Transfer of viscous liquids in food processing, such as sauces, jams, and dairy products.
• Handling shear-sensitive products where product integrity must be maintained.
• Pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries for gentle transfer of creams, gels, and emulsions.
• Chemical processing for corrosive or abrasive fluid transfer.
• Brewing and beverage production for wort, yeast, and finished product transfer.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of lobe pump, capacities typically range from 1,000 to 10,000 litres per hour, depending on lobe configuration and motor speed.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, with motor power typically ranging from 0.37 kW to 5.5 kW.

Inlet/Outlet connections

Commonly features hygienic connections such as Tri-Clamp or DIN, with sizes typically from DN40 to DN100 (approximately 1.5 to 4 inches).

Materials of construction

Wetted parts are typically 316L stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance, with elastomers suited to the application.

Typical operating pressure

Lobe pumps are generally suitable for pressures up to 10-15 bar, depending on the specific model and application.

Viscosity handling

Designed for efficient transfer of liquids with viscosities typically up to 100,000 cP or higher.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the primary advantage of a lobe pump over other pump types?

  Lobe pumps offer gentle handling of shear-sensitive and viscous products, maintaining product integrity due to their non-pulsating flow and large pumping chambers.

• Are lobe pumps suitable for abrasive products?

• How easy is a lobe pump to clean and maintain?

• Can this pump handle solids?
