Wrightflow CP10 Lobe pump

• Transferring viscous food products such as sauces, jams, and doughs.
• Handling delicate pharmaceutical suspensions and emulsions without damage.
• Moving chemical solutions and slurries in industrial processes.
• Circulating cleaning-in-place (CIP) solutions in hygienic systems.

Typical flow rate

For this class of lobe pump, flow rates typically range from a few litres per minute up to approximately 10-15 cubic metres per hour, depending on the specific lobe configuration and motor speed.

Maximum pressure

Units of this type commonly operate at differential pressures up to 10-15 bar, suitable for various transfer applications.

Viscosity handling

Lobe pumps are well-suited for a wide range of viscosities, typically handling fluids from water-like consistency up to several hundred thousand centipoise.

Materials of construction

Process contact parts are commonly manufactured from 316L stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance and suitability for hygienic applications.

Power supply

Motors for CP10 series pumps are typically 3-phase, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK, with power ratings varying based on required flow and pressure.

Hygienic design

Wrightflow CP series pumps are designed for hygienic applications, featuring smooth surfaces and easy-to-clean components.

• What types of products are best suited for a lobe pump?

  Lobe pumps excel at handling viscous, shear-sensitive, and particulate-laden fluids. They are commonly used for products like creams, sauces, yoghurts, and chemical slurries.

• Can this pump handle solids?

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

• What maintenance is typically required for a lobe pump?

• 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.
