A lobe pump is a type of positive displacement pump that moves fluids by using rotating lobes. These lobes create a vacuum that draws the fluid into the pump and then pushes it out through the discharge port. Lobe pumps are commonly used in various industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and wastewater treatment, due to their ability to handle viscous fluids and maintain a consistent flow rate. One of the key advantages of lobe pumps is their gentle handling of sensitive materials. The design minimizes shear and turbulence, making them ideal for pumping delicate substances like yogurt or cosmetics. Additionally, lobe pumps are easy to clean and maintain, which is essential for applications that require strict hygiene standards.
