Rotary Lobe Product Line
Rotary lobe pumps are the mainstay of many hygienic fluid handling applications where gentle handling & cleanability are of utmost importance. These pumps have a wide range of displacements, good solids handling capabilities, and low shear characteristics across a wide range of product viscosities. The non-contacting pumping principle for RLPs means no metal-on-metal contact, limiting pump wear regardless of product viscosity.
Common rotary lobe pump applications include (but are not limited to):
- Pharmaceutical & biotech, including vaccines
- Food products: processed meats, vegetables, sauces & condiments
- Confectionary: chocolate, fondants
- Beverages: alcoholic, soft
- Dairy products: milk, cheese, yogurts
- Personal care products: shampoo, soaps, deodorants, cosmetics
- Pet food
- Pulp & paper
- Chemicals: lubricants, paints & pigments, polymers
