When it comes to handling thick, abrasive sludge in wastewater treatment, experts like the Hydraulic Institute have confirmed that positive displacement pumps are the best option–and LobePro’s rotary lobe pumps are built for these conditions. Our positive displacement rotary lobe pumps are designed to handle sludge of varying viscosity and solids concentration, including primary sludge, thickened waste activated sludge (TWAS), and digested sludge to name a few. With many years of field-proven success, our pumps are trusted in municipal and industrial plants.
Exploring the LobePro Difference in Wastewater Applications
LobePro’s sludge pumps are backed by decades of experience, research, and development in rotary lobe pumps, as well as a long track record of excellent performance out in the field. We have engineered our pumps with our customers in mind, and over the years have improved our design with help from our customer feedback.
Built for Harsh Conditions
One standout feature of the LobePro rotary lobe pump is that every single part and component of its compact design is made to withstand the rigors of sludge service in wastewater treatment:
- 4- and 6-wing lobe options for smoother flow and reduced pulsation
- Abrasion-resistant wear parts that extend service life
- Adjustable pump housing to maintain efficiency as components wear
- Synchronized LARS seals to ensure uninterrupted service
- Available pump materials for specific applications
Our design translates to lower lifecycle costs, fewer unplanned shutdowns, and longer intervals between maintenance and rebuilds.
Easy Maintenance and Minimal Downtime
LobePro’s sludge pumps are designed for simple, in-place maintenance. The pump housings are adjustable to account for any wear that occurs and causes gaps and increases slip between the housing segment and the lobes, and the compact nature of the pump makes it easy to access for regular cleaning and maintenance:
- Lobes, seals, and wear plates can be replaced without removing piping
- Compact footprint allows for tight installations and easy access
- Standardized components simplify inventory and reduce lead times
Our sludge pumps ensure that your team spends less time on repairs and more time running your plant.
