Alfa Laval Optilobe Rotary Lobe Sanitary Pumps

The Alfa Laval OptiLobe rotary lobe pumps are cost-effective alternatives for general sanitary applications requiring gentle product treatment and easy serviceability. Their traditional design makes them versatile, reliable, and energy-efficient. These hygienic rotary lobe positive displacement pumps enhance process flexibility and operational reliability. They are a great choice when the process requirements are manageable and cost is a consideration.

OptiLobe Technology Features

  • 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 ensure superior cleanability and lubrication, improving seal life
  • Shaft support is made of a rigid one-piece bearing housing and heavy-duty L10 tapered roller bearings with a minimum life of 20,000 hours. Reduces the possibility of rotor head contact damage
  • Optional heating/cooling front covers are available for processes involving products that harden at low temperatures, such as sugar solutions, butter and margarine, marmalades, body butter, gels, and lotions

The OptiLobe is known for easy maintenance. Factory-set shimming makes changing the rotor easy without needing readjusting or retiming. Parts replacement, when required, is also simplified; high-precision components are interchangeable for pumps of the same size.

Wide Variety of Pump Models for Process Flexibility

  • 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 130C
  • Port size from 25 to 100 mm in diameter

Other Technical Features:
