The lobe pump (rotary lobe pump) is a positive displacement pump consisting of lobed rotors. This design provides low shear, high efficiency, and precise flow control. Lobe pumps are the ideal solution for conveying viscous liquids, particle-laden fluids, and sensitive products without damage.

Flowland lobe pumps offer uninterrupted liquid transfer in industrial facilities, marine applications, and production lines — thanks to their durable housing and superior performance.

Lobe Pump — Technical Advantages & Features

  • High performance: Constant flow rate with low energy consumption
  • Product safety: Product structure preserved thanks to low shear action
  • Easy maintenance: Quick cleaning and servicing after use
  • Wide application compatibility: Food, chemical, marine, and industrial use
  • Extreme viscosity range: Handles fluids from 1 to 1,000,000 cP
  • Stainless steel construction: Hygienic and corrosion-resistant

Application Areas

Flowland lobe pumps are especially preferred in the following sectors:

  • Food and beverage production (e.g. syrups, sauces)
  • Chemical and pharmaceutical processes
  • Wastewater and filtration systems
  • Paint, ink, and solvent transfer lines
  • Marine and industrial applications
A lobe pump is a positive displacement pump that uses two synchronised lobed rotors rotating in opposite directions to move fluid. As the rotors turn, they create expanding cavities that draw in fluid and then contract to push it out — delivering a smooth, low-shear, non-pulsating flow ideal for sensitive or viscous products.
Lobe pumps handle a very wide range of liquids — from thin, low-viscosity fluids to extremely thick products up to 1,000,000 cP. They are particularly suited for shear-sensitive products like food ingredients, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, paints, slurries, and particle-laden fluids.
Lobe pumps offer gentle, low-shear fluid handling, consistent and accurate flow rates, easy in-place cleaning (CIP/SIP compatible), reversible operation, and the ability to handle solids and particles without damage. Their stainless steel construction makes them hygienic and corrosion-resistant.
Lobe pumps are ideal for food processors, pharmaceutical manufacturers, cosmetics producers, chemical plants, and any operation handling viscous, shear-sensitive, or particle-containing fluids where product integrity and hygienic operation are priorities.
