Lobe Pumps | Ekin Industrial

Lobe Pump Working Principle
Lobe pumps basically consist of three or two lobe rotors rotating inside the body without touching each other. As the rotor pair rotates, the volume in the inlet line increases. This increase creates a vacuum on the suction side of the pump, and the vacuum draws fluid into the pump body. As the rotor rotates, the fluid at the outlet decreases and the fluid is transferred to the outlet line.

MIT lobe pumps are designed to provide reliable performance, trouble-free operation and superior energy efficiency for demanding applications. These hygienic pumps cause little damage to the product and meet high standards at low pressures.

Lobe Pump Advantages

• Lobe pumps, which can be used smoothly in the transfer of low, medium and high viscosity fluids, have many advantages thanks to their positive displacement feature. Some of them are as follows.
• It can transfer medium-sized solids.
• There is no friction between surface materials during liquid transfer.
• The pump can be cleaned while connected to the service line.
• It has positive suction ability.
• It operates silently.
• Pumps with heating jacket option provide an easy flow by preventing the fluid passing through the material from freezing.
• The characteristics of the product to be transferred.
• It provides convenience in different areas of use by optionally making a panel application on a portable wheeled chassis.
• It provides convenience in the unloading and filling operations of food tankers, especially by taking the energy from the vehicle without taking up space on the land vehicles.
• It transfers high viscosity products without any problems.

Maintenance and Repair
The compact structure of MIT lobe pumps is in the field. Allows maintenance. This advantage reduces both maintenance times and costs. Things to do during the maintenance process are as follows.

• Before pump maintenance, the electrical connections must be disconnected from the pump motor. After this process is completed, pump maintenance and repair can be done.
• Maintenance and replacement of the lobes can be done by simply removing the front cover bolts, without removing the pump and line connections and the coupling connections between the motor and the pump.
• In this section, the lobes can be easily removed and cleaned and maintained.
• The front body must be dismantled to replace the seal. The disassembly process of the body is also quite simple.
• The oil reservoir in the gear section is replaced periodically by opening the oil drain plug. In this way, the gears have a longer life.
• After the necessary cleaning is done, all parts are reassembled on the body as they were removed and the pump is put into operation again.
• When commissioning the pump, electrical connections must be made according to the direction of rotation of the motor.
