Application
      The SLR pump is a positive displacement rotary lobe pump of a sanitary design suitable for use in the dairies, food-processing, beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and fine chemicals industries. This rotary lobe pump is perfect for managing all kinds of fluid, of either low or high viscosity, as well as for filtering and bottling applications. Products containing fragile solids such as junket can be pumped without damage thanks to the specially designed lobes.

Operating principle
      The SLR rotary lobe pumps basically consist of two lobe rotors which rotate synchronously inside a casing without touching each other. As the rotors rotate, the spaces between the lobes and the casing are successively filled with the product, which is transported to the discharge nozzle with a fixed amount of displacement. The pumped fluid forms a continuous stream thanks to the tolerances between the lobes and the pump casing, thus ensuring an efficient pumping.
