Wildindag IN1 CC16 VT D40 Lobe pump

• Transferring viscous liquids and slurries in food processing.
• Handling shear-sensitive products in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
• Pumping abrasive or corrosive media in chemical industries.
• Metering and dosing applications requiring precise flow control.
• Circulating process fluids in brewing and beverage production.

Typical capacity

For this class of lobe pump, capacities typically range from a few cubic metres per hour up to approximately 100 cubic metres per hour, depending on model and application.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Inlet/Outlet size

This unit features 55mm inlet/outlet connections. Lobe pumps commonly have connection sizes ranging from DN25 up to DN150.

Construction material

As a 'stainless lobe pump', the wetted parts are typically constructed from 316L stainless steel, suitable for hygienic and corrosive environments.

Typical operating pressure

Lobe pumps are generally capable of discharge pressures up to 10-15 bar, though this varies by specific model and lobe design.

Viscosity handling

This type of pump is well-suited for a wide range of viscosities, typically from water-like liquids up to several hundred thousand centipoise.

• What is a lobe pump best suited for?

  Lobe pumps are ideal for handling viscous, shear-sensitive, or particulate-laden fluids where gentle product handling and consistent flow are critical. They are often used in hygienic applications.

• Can this pump handle solids?

• What maintenance is typically required for a lobe pump?

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

• What is the difference between a lobe pump and a centrifugal 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.
