Rotary Lobe pumps

The original design of the rotary lobe pump goes back to the early ’30s and has since then been further developed and improved. Johnson Pump has long experience in rotary lobe pumps. Market knowledge and appreciation of customer needs have been used to improve the existing rotary lobe pump concept with new features and customer benefits. 

Rotary lobe pumps are easy to clean and have gentle product handling characteristics. They contain few cavities, which reduces the risk of bacterial growth and makes them particularly suitable for the transport of sensitive fluids – from glue to whole strawberries.

TopWing- Ultra Hygenic Rotary lobe pump

The TopWing-series is available in 8 different sizes. Shaft seal options include single mechanical, quenched, double flushed, O-ring. Feet for vertical or horizontal mounting. Safety relief valves are available built-on or separately. Pre-heating/cooling devices in the front cover and/or at the seals. Connections from 25 mm to 100 mm.

Product Type:

Ultra Hygenic

​

Heavy duty Ultra-hygienic rotary lobe pump designed for the most demanding applications.

​Features

  • Superior hygiene - Self-draining rotor case and mechanical seal assembled in the liquid. Low carbon stainless steel with smooth surfaces. Easy to clean – CIP, SIP or by hand, with a minimum of entrapped liquid

  • Validated and certified - Pump can easily be validated into Ultra-hygienic applications

  • Package of certificates available as an option, an example: 
    -Flow and pressure tests 
    -Cleanability certificates as EHEDG and 3-A 
    -Material certificates as 3.1, FDA, USP VI and AFO 

    -Certificates of surface roughness, welding, electropolishing 

    -ATEX certificates (Hazardous zone) 

    -Quality (ISO 9001) and environmental (ISO 14000) certificates

  • Gentle product handling - Rotors with smooth performance and minimized back slip. Able to handle particles

  • Easy maintenance - Front-loaded product seals and robust bearing assembly without shimming

  • Integrated shaft and gear design - The complete pump is made of stainless steel. The shaft bearings are integrated into the rotor case. Large shaft diameters and strong bearing design results in small shaft deflections and allows having small clearances inside the hydraulic part. The use of duplex steel for the rotors increases wear resistance and improves behaviour on higher temperatures

  • Different clearance classes – Depending on temperature, pressure and viscosity

  • Multirotors or BiWing rotors – Optimal performance
