What is Lobe Pump?
MIT Lobe pumps are self priming valveless and positive displacement pumps.
Each MIT pump is a special solution. MIT pumps are designed to provide the needs of the application completely.
Characteristics of MIT Lobe Pumps
- low, medium and high viscosity fluids can be used seamlessly transfers with positive displacement specification
- Easy assembly and maintenance
- Viscous, abrasive or surface precision fluids easily transmitting
- 4 different rotor options are available. Those are 2 lobe rotor, 3 lobe rotor, butterfly rotor and single butterfly rotor.
- Two lobe options for products containing solid particles.
- Double (flush) cartridge mechanical seal, mechanical seal, carbide seal (for applications such as jams and glucose)
- input / output as standard sidewards to the pump can easily convert from the top inlet / bottom outlet.
- Ability to return in both directions (Clockwise and counter-clockwise )
- The gearbox is made of cast iron epoxy paint coated with a protective coating
- All shaft, rotor and pump body are made of AISI 316 stainless steel.
- Surfaces contact with fluid material quality because of AISI 316 steinles steel are used in applications hygiene requires.
- Threaded, flanged and bushed suitable food connection properties is available.
MIT Lobe Pumps Working Principle
Pump inlet as the rotor rotates the volume increases on the line.
Moved to pump outlet the fluid between the rotor and the inner wall of the pump. These pumps basically rotating within body without contact each other three or two rotor consists of lobe.
Rotation of the pair of rotors defined by the direction of rotation of the drive unit that the suction side of the pump creates a vacuum. This vacuum draws fluid into the pump housing. The rotation of the rotor as a result of the reduction of the output volume is transferred to the output line.
MIT lobe pumps are reliable performance for demanding applications, trouble-free operation and is designed to provide superior energy efficiency. This hygienic pumps, less damage to the product and meets high standards in low pressure.
Advantages of the MIT LOBE PUMPS
MIT Lobe pumps are self priming valveless and positive displacement pumps.
- Mid-size solids can be transferred.
- There is no friction between surface materials during liquid transfer.
- The pump can be cleaned while connected to the service line.
- It has positive absorption ability.
- Quiet working
- Heating jacket with optional pump preventing freezing of the fluid passing through the material provides an easy flow.
- Without impairing product characterized performs the transfer to be transferred seamlessly
- Optional removable wheels on the chassis, making the panel application provides ease in different areas, all that needs to be done is the clipboard connection of electric line of on the chassis.
- Taking energy from the vehicle without taking up space on them for land vehicles, especially the energy of food tankers discharge and filling operations it provides convenience.
- The transfer of high-viscosity products is accomplished without problem.

Lobe Pump with Flange Hopper
There are 2 types flange hoppers; square flange hopper and circular flange hopper.
Lope pump with flange hopper can effectively solve the transfer of viscous liquids.
Lobe Pump with Built-in Safety Valve
MIT Lobe pumps are positive displacement and without safety valves pumps.Every MIT pumps are special solutions.
When the inner pressure which is inside the tube higher than the set pressure ,depends on  failure of other equipments,safety valve reduces the deterioration of the lobe pump.MIT lobe pumps are effective for CIP,SIP cleaning processes.
High pressured flow which is given to line, prevent the pump from any  damage and provide effective cleaning by force of this option.
Specifications:Â Pressure safety valve automatically opens when pressure reaches defined safety values.Valve works pneumatically.(1 bar-6 bar)
Lobe Pump with External Safety Valve
MIT Lobe pumps; are positive displacement and without safety valves pumps.Every MIT pumps are special solutions.
These pumps can be provided with pressure safety valve and by-pass line regarding to customer demand to prevent blockages on the line and damages which is occurred by high pressure.
This device preserve the pump from any problem which can be occurred during high pressure,discharge congestion and CIP,SIP cleaning processes.
Lobe Pump with Heat Jacket
There are 3 types heat jacket;periphery heat jacket,surface heat jacket and complete heat jacket.
Heat jackets are used to prevent freezing and breakdown caused by temperature difference.
