LOBE
TechnologiesLOBE
VIKING Hygienic is efficient and gentle handling pumps making them perfect for applications like food and beverages or pharmaceutical with a number of material and finish options seal types & cleanability options. Viking Pump’s hygienic pumps offer the best efficiency and a wide range of porting, cleaning, and sealing options to meet your needs.
LobeHygienic Pump
- Lobe pumps operate by trapping a fluid between two or more rotating lobes and the pump casing.
- As the lobes rotate, they create a low-pressure area behind them, allowing the fluid to enter the space between the lobes and the casing.
- The fluid is then transferred through the pump as the lobes continue to rotate, creating a suction effect
Performance
- Capacity: upto 189 M3/Hr
- Pressure: upto 34 BAR
- VIscosity Range: 200000 cst
- Temperature: 0°C to 180°C
Sizes
- 1” to 6”
Material Of Construction & Configuration Option :
- PRODUCT WETTED (ROTORCASE, ROTORS, ROTOR RETAINERS, FRONT COVER): 316L stainless steel, other alloys also available
- GEARBOX (GEARBOX, MOUNTING FEET & BACK PLATES): Cast iron & stainless steel, dependent on pump series & size
- SHAFT SEALS: Single, single flushed & double mechanical seals; single & double O-ring seals; packed glands; composite seals, all dependent on pump series
Features And Benefits:
- Gauge Ports: Allow simple addition of local or remote monitoring systems
- Higher Pressure Capabilities: For long distance transfer of high viscosity liquids.
- Easy Timing: Rotors and gears are positively located on key shafts.
- Simple End Clearance Adjustment: Compared to other lobe pumps which require shimming.
- Excellent NPSHr: Fluid access on three sides of rotors enhances filling with highly viscous fluids and minimizes pulsation.
- Run Dry Continuously: Non-contacting rotors enable continuous run-dry with flushed seal, minimizing chance of failure due to operator error.
- Non-Contacting Pumping Principle: No metal-on-metal contact, avoiding pump wear regardless of product viscosity.
- Shaft Sealing Options: Include single, single flushed and double mechanical seals, single and double O-ring Seals, and packed glands.
- Low Shear Pump Design: Gentle handling of delicate and shear sensitive products.
- Solids Handling: Will handle a wide range of products including suspended solids.
- Front loading seals: can be changed while the pump is still in-line.
