What is a Lobe Pump?
Lobe pumps are valveless and positive displacement pumps. Thanks to their positive displacement feature, these products, also known as lobular pumps, are smoothly used for transferring low, medium, and high viscosity fluids. Since these pumps are used in food applications, they must have hygienic features. The hygienic qualifications of MIT Lobe Pumps are certified with FDA approval. MIT Lobe Pumps, produced in the range of 0-65 m³/h capacity, are designed specifically for the customer's process to meet the application requirements.
