Properties of Rotary Lobe Pumps
LobePro positive displacement rotary lobe pumps are ideal for pumping sludge, slurries and mud. Here are several great reasons to choose a LobePro rotary lobe pump:
- Low shear/Pulse free operation
- Excellent for oil/water separation or highly viscous fluids
- Ability to pump at constant pressure at different flow rates
- Self-priming to 25′ wet
- Capacities from 0-2,656 GPM with pressures to 175 psi
- Forward and reverse pumping operation
- Easy access to wet-end for in-place wear part replacement
- Long operational lifespan at proper speed
- Low maintenance
- Space-saving compact design
- 10 to 1 turndown capability and reverse capability
- Run dry ability for a period of time
- Pump speed can be varied from 50 to 600 RPM
- Excellent for fine abrasives such as sand, sludge and bentonite because the pump can be run at low speed and lobes do not touch
LobePro Rotary Pumps currently manufactures 13 models of positive displacement rotary lobe pumps divided into three series: S-Series (sludge/slurry and general use) pumps, C-Series (chemical/and corrosive resistant) pumps, and D-Series (duplex pumps and abrasive applications). Each series is also available in an API-Series (API-676 Compliant for Oil and Gas Industry).
