Lobe pumps are used to transfer viscous and thick liquids that are sensitive to compression and contain solid particles (such as cherries and olives). Smooth pumping minimises damage to the product. Lobe pumps are widely used in the food industry for pumping pastes, ketchups, sour cream, tomatoes, yoghurts, jams and ice cream; in the pharmaceutical industry – for pumping creams, ointments, gels and syrups. They are also used in the cosmetics industry for pumping shampoos, liquid soap, toothpaste, lotions and cosmetic gels; and in the chemical industry for pumping varnishes, paints, resins, adhesives and aggressive chemical solutions. The specified applications (liquids) must be compatible with the material of the pump’s flow path. Lobe pumps are popular across various industrial sectors as they offer excellent sanitary properties, high efficiency, reliability, corrosion resistance and are easy to clean (CIP/SIP).
