Inoxpa have released a new SLR rotary lobe pump for applications aiming to eliminate solid particles such as chocolates and fats or those that are highly viscous including syrups, honeys and gels.
The SLR pump is a positive displacement sanitary construction rotary lobe pump suitable for use in the dairy, food processing and beverage industries.
Designed for maximum efficiency and reliability the SLR pump incorporates two lobe rotors which rotate synchronously inside a casing without contact. As the rotors turn, the spaces between the lobes and the casing are filled with the product, and a fixed volume is displaced with each rotation. The pump generates a continuous smooth flow thanks to the tolerances between the lobes and the pump casing. This enables efficient, low shear pumping, even for delicate or viscous liquids and those containing solids.
The pump is also reversible (when operated without a relief valve) allowing for unload and offload duties to be performed with the same pump. Units are supplied as standard with hygienic DIN 11851 connections, although other options including RJT, SMS and tri-clamp are available to provide optimum flexibility for specific onsite requirements.
