Some Key Information You Need To Know About lobe pumps And helical rotor pumps

Belonging to the age of internets and smartphones, it is not possible for us to think of an age when we did not have any tool/ device/ machine to make our lives easier. Mankind’s quest to satisfy hunger brought a subtle change in the course. He invented sharp tools to attack the fierce wild animals or used his mind to devise a plan to trap a heavy animal. Invention of fire was the most significant one followed by the invention of wheel helped him to go to other places. Moreover, scientific and rational thinking enabled him to make way for agriculture by sowing the seeds of crop. In this way, different inventions, in different ages, starting from Stone Age to the modern age, shaped the history in unique way.

A complete separate set of heavy duty machines are needed for the high pressure applications. For these cases, lobe pumps offer ideal solution since they are able to handle sensitive liquids as well as solids laden fluids. This positive displacement type of pump has self-priming capability and can handle pressures up to 34 bars. Moreover, it has dry run functionality so it can run dry for indefinite period of time. Also, forward and reverse operation provides ideal push for clearing the inside of any pipe. In addition, low pulsation and unique scientifically advanced design ensures the need of lesser driving power. They mainly get used in such cases where the industry has to deal with corrosive, abrasive chemicals or thick viscous slurries like the mining or heavy industrial sector. So, due to its highly efficient performance and high utility, lobe pumps became so much popular in related sector.

Mainly, for the dewatering or movement of sludges, viscous fluids necessary for food and beverage sector, helical rotor pumps are most viable solution. The technically advanced machine is having bigger chamber which ensures the pressure inside the chamber is controlled. It has inner metallic rotors made of steel inside elastic helical stator which is an elastometer made of nitrile/ natural rubber/ Viton and abrasion resistant. This machine is highly efficient in nature and has the ability to maintain pressure. Designed with a view to be user friendly, this high end device is valve less and has constant non-pulsating flow. Moreover, they have the ability to transfer multiphase fluids and fluids can also be moved in different direction.

For repeatable and accurate dosing of abrasive, chemically reactive liquids, viscous fluids and often slurries with very rich solid content, hose pumps get used across the globe because of its high utility. First of all, they can run dry for a longer period of time without causing much damage and also, self-priming functionality.With state of the art advanced technology, the design of the machine ensures change of hose without affecting or powering the hose and absence of seals or valves. It requires lesspower and can move slurries having very high solid contents. It is rubber lined and made of abrasion resistant materials ensuring longer life. Non-metallic flange connections can also be opted to handle corrosive and abrasive liquids. Lower maintenance cost made it ideal solution for mining, food and beverage, agriculture sector, chemical industry and paint and coating industry etc.
