Our company has been offering lobe pumps for a long time that are designed specifically for cosmetics, pharmaceutical and food industry. Lobe pumps are suitable for pumping chocolate, butter, syrup, face cream, shampoos, ketchup, jelly, etc., in their respective industries. These lobe pumps are manufactured with hardened and ground timing gears for delivering high performance without metallic inclusion,
It provide smooth and noiseless operation due to precision timing gears and highly polished lobes.
Applications:
Chocolate, Cocoa Butter, Soap, Fruit Pulp, Face Cream, Butter, Minced Meat, Edible Oil, Fruit Juices, Ointments, Malt, Toothpaste, Ghee, Ketchup, Glucose, Jelly, Lotions, Fatty Acids, Shampoo, Dyes & Starch, Starch, Dairy Products, Ice Creams, Sugar Confectionery, Sugar Syrup, Liquid Glucose, Etc.
How Lobe Pumps Work?
Fluid passing through a lobe pump.Lobe pumps are similar to external gear pumps in operation in that fluid flows around the interior of the casing. Unlike external gear pumps, however, the lobes do not make contact. Lobe contact is prevented by external timing gears located in the gearbox. Pump shaft support bearings are located in the gearbox, and since the bearings are out of the pumped liquid, pressure is limited by bearing location and shaft deflection.
1. As the lobes come out of mesh, they create expanding volume on the inlet side of the pump. Liquid flows into the cavity and is trapped by the lobes as they rotate.
2. Liquid travels around the interior of the casing in the pockets between the lobes and the casing — it does not pass between the lobes.
3. Finally, the meshing of the lobes forces liquid through the outlet port under pressure.
