MaxiLobe reduces shear on sensitive formulations

Designed notably for the personal care and hygiene industries, Alfa Laval’s new MaxiLobe rotary lobe pump range operates at lower rotational speeds than the previous SRU models, helping to better protect shear-sensitive products. More compact while delivering equivalent performance, the pumps provide, under defined operating conditions, at least 5% higher flow rates and can deliver more than 25% energy savings in many applications.

The range handles flow rates of up to 350 m³/h, pressures of up to 16 bar and process temperatures of up to 150°C. The design also simplifies maintenance, as the mechanical seals can be replaced without disconnecting the pipework. EHEDG and 3-A certified and compliant with FDA requirements, MaxiLobe pumps are designed for production environments where process control, hygiene and operational continuity are critical.
