Hygienic Rotary Lobe Pumps

JABSCO - ITT Industries Lobe Pump product line brings benefits to users in hygienic and industrial processing wherever viscous, delicate and particulate fluids must be moved effectively. The pumps have design features that guarantee high hygienic levels of performance, meeting even the most demanding users' standards as well as current and all anticipated new hygiene regulations. In addition, the pump line offers quick and effective cleaning and maintenance. A range of 6 pumps with flow rates from 1- 670 1/min and pressure capability up to 15 bar, coupled with flexible port sizes and mounting positions, configures the pumps for all modern processes and production plant layouts.

With features such as flat, crevice-free front cover, flush rotor securing screws, sealed drive splines and easy-access front-loaded mechanical seals, the pumps have been designed for fast and efficient cleaning in place (CIP) or easy strip-cleaning. Interchangeable Jabsco-enhanced Scimitar rotors give high performance and low NIPR to greatly reduce risks associated with cavitation. The gentle pumping action and low shear virtually eliminate damage to the structure and properties of both high and low-viscosity liquids. Low noise levels protect the working environment and allow environmental safety limits to be met.

The pumps are used in many applications and industries, from the reliable transfer of bulk ingredients in the food industry to the production of cosmetics, personal care products and "over the counter" pharmaceuticals. The positive-displacement pumping action and high level of hygiene make them particularly well suited to the dairy industry for pumping shear-sensitive, bacteria-count critical products such as yogurt and soft cheeses.

The 316-grade stainless steel construction of the pumps also brings a high level of chemical resistance, allowing them to be used in many applications in chemical and general industrial processes where high purity, corrosive or viscous liquids must be pumped.
