OptiLobe

Take advantage of these technological features that enable Alfa Laval OptiLobe rotary lobe pumps add value to your processes.

• A robust platform, advanced seal design and heavy-duty, long-life bearings contribute to more uptime and higher productivity.

• Truly front-loading, self-setting seals with seal faces directly in contact with the media ensures superior cleanability and lubrication, improving seal life.

• Shaft support comprises of a rigid one-piece bearing housing and heavy-duty L10 tapered roller bearings with a minimum life of 20,000 hours. This contributes to stable shaft retention and more balanced loading, reducing the risk of pump head contact whilst decreasing maintenance requirements and increasing uptime.
• Optional heating/cooling front covers for processes, such as sugar solutions, butter and margarine, marmalades, body butter, gels and lotions, where products tend to harden at low temperatures.

Factory-set shimming makes changing the rotor easy without the need to adjustment or retiming. Parts replacement, when required, is also simplified; high-precision components are interchangeable for pumps of the same size.

OptiLobe rotary lobe pumps are available with 10 different pump head displacements based on five different gearbox modules, flow rates up to 77 m3/h, differential pressures up to 8 bar, media temperatures up to 130°C and port size from 25 to 100 mm in diameter.
