Wrightflow - Wrightflow CP10 Lobe pump

Applications & Use Cases

• Transferring viscous food products such as sauces, jams, and dairy.
• Handling shear-sensitive liquids like creams and yoghurts without damage.
• Metering ingredients in batch processing operations.
• Circulating cleaning solutions in Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems.

Typical Specifications

Pump type

Positive displacement lobe pump, suitable for viscous and shear-sensitive fluids.

Materials of construction

Typically stainless steel (e.g., 316L) for wetted parts, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Inlet/Outlet connections

Commonly hygienic connections such as RJT, DIN, or Tri-Clamp, with sizes typically ranging from 25mm to 80mm for this class of pump.

Motor power

For the CP10 series, motors commonly range from 0.25 kW to 2.2 kW, depending on the required flow rate and pressure.

Power supply

Typically 3-phase industrial supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Typical capacity

Flow rates for CP10 pumps can typically range from a few hundred litres per hour up to approximately 10,000 litres per hour, depending on product viscosity and pump speed.

Maximum pressure

Units of this type commonly handle pressures up to 10-15 bar.
