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