Design Features

The Industrial Lobe Series pumps were designed to handle fluids of nearly any viscosity, especially shear sensitive materials, at higher pressures than an internal gear pump or a standard lobe pump is capable of.  The high pressure option uses a patented shaft support system with bushings on both sides of the bi-wing rotors to allow higher pressures and reduce wear on bushings and seals.  An adjustable bearing housing allows simple end clearance adjustment.

These pumps accept a wide variety of cartridge-style seals from most major manufacturers, including single mechanical, double mechanical and triple lip seals.  The two smaller sizes also accept component single mechanical seals or shaft packing.  A variety of porting options allows the ports to be correctly sized for the application.
