Minimized shearing for protecting end-product quality
Low maintenance, increased process uptime
Maximized performance and minimized risk of contamination.

The SX lobe rotary pump is designed for gentle transportation of process fluids in hygienic and ultra-clean
applications in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, in the home and personal care sector, and for
demanding food applications. The lobe rotary pump is available with 14 different pump head displacements based on seven different gearbox modules to handle flow rates up to 115 m3/h and differential pressures up to 15 bar.

Construction

Alfa Laval rotary lobe pumps are conventional positive displacement pumps with rotor case, rotor case cover, rotors, rotor nuts, shafts, gearbox, shaft seals and elastomers. The pumps operate with no internal contacting parts in the pump head.
