The SteriLobe® Series
1 | IMPROVED YIELD
Rotary lobe pumps offer high efficiency pumping at full range. The flow rate is largely independent of changes in pressure. Additionally, you can expect low shearing and expert handling of fluids prone to flashing.
The flow through a rotary lobe pump is proportional to speed. It provides easy control of flow rate with a variable speed drive for excellent metering capabilities. Paired with simple maintenance that can be done without removing the pump from the system, the SteriLobe® rotary lobe pump is your best solution for your pharmaceutical application.
2 | CLEAN IN PLACE (CIP) & STERILIZE IN PLACE (SIP)
With an aseptic design the SteriLobe® can undergo optimum cleaning in place (CIP) to meet strict cleaning parameters. If your system has a high temperature design, the SteriLobe® can also sterilize in place (SIP) with steam (compared to manual cleaning which takes much longer and is less efficient).
3 | SCALABILITY
Product offerings from benchtop system with flow as low as 10 l/min up, through pilot scale flow range up to full production with flow up to 2 m³/min (120,000 l/hour).
The Efficient Cleaning Process
Equipment cleaning requires a set cleaning regime for clean in place or sterilize in place process equipment- and the SteriLobe® Series is designed to be integrated with these effective cleaning methods. A fully stainless-steel design with options for enhanced surface finish and electropolishing to all media contact surfaces allows for complete sterilization without removal from the process. Vertical porting and relieved cusp features in the casing allow for the pump to completely self-drain process liquid prior to the cleaning cycle and for the complete draining of chemical solutions after the cleaning is complete.
