Rotary lobe pump for viscous media
Ensure precise handling and gentle transfer of viscous liquids with advanced rotary lobe technology, optimizing flow and maintaining the integrity of sensitive products across your production process.
Pumps and Doses Viscous Media Efficiently
The GEA Hilge NOVALOBE rotary lobe pump, part of the Varipump line, stands out with its robust construction and precision engineering designed specifically for handling viscous media. It features a compact design and optimized shaft geometry, reducing vibrations and noise, making it suitable for a variety of applications including dairy, beverage, confectionary, and pharmaceutical processes. Capable of achieving differential pressures up to 16 bar, it efficiently pumps and doses thick liquids like yogurt, chocolate syrup, and enzymatic solutions while maintaining EHEDG certification for hygienic operations.
Offering flexible rotor profiles, the NOVALOBE can adapt to specific operational needs, ensuring optimal performance. It supports single, double, and O-ring mechanical seals with FDA-compliant materials, suited for clean-in-place (CIP) and steam-in-place (SIP) processes. Standard connections include DIN threads and flanges, with options for custom configurations to integrate seamlessly into existing systems. Enhanced features such as integrated pressure relief valves and thermal jackets provide operational safety and versatility, especially for sensitive products requiring temperature control.
With a capacity for handling viscosities up to 1,000,000 mPas and a range of variants accommodating various installations and space requirements, the GEA Hilge NOVALOBE is an ideal choice for continuous and manual operations, ensuring gentle handling of high-value media across multiple industries.
