Handle Food and Pharmaceuticals with an AMPCO Lobe Pump

Rotary lobe pumps are very popular in food processing and in the pharmaceuticals industry because they are specifically designed to handle solids, slurries, pastes and a variety of other liquids that don’t process well in other types of pumps. Lobe pumps are excellent for solids handling because they don’t cause damage to the materials.
 
Advantages of Rotary Lobe Pumps
With the process materials being handled safely and without damage, food and beverage plants can operate more efficiently and produce better products. The same goes for pharmaceutical companies. Safety and hygiene are even more important in today’s COVID-19 climate, which makes rotary lobe pumps even more beneficial than ever. Workers want to feel safe and know they are putting out the best possible products. Consumers feel better buying from food, beverage and pharmaceutical manufacturers who care about quality.
 
Rotary lobe pumps are able to provide either continuous or intermittent reversible flows. They can even operate dry for a short period if you utilize flush seals. The flow remains relatively independent of any process pressure changes, which allows for consistent and constant output. The products running through the lobe pump are not damaged because of its unique design that features large, non-contacting pumping chambers.
