Rotary lobe pumps suit hygienic applications
Mono NOV has launched a new range of hygienic rotary lobe pumps that has been specifically developed to significantly improve processing quality and efficiency for food and beverage manufacturers. The Luna range of rotary lobe pumps consists of high efficiency positive displacement pumps, which feature a modular and simple design that minimises maintenance requirements and delivers a long reliable life.
Commenting on the launch of the new range, general manager Simon Lambert says: "The new Luna pump has been specifically developed to meet stringent hygiene standards, including 3A and EHEDG. It has also been designed with C-I-P (Clean-in Place) and S-I-P (Sterilise-in-Place) procedures in mind. Wetted parts are manufactured in 316L stainless steel as standard, with other materials available that can withstand the most arduous regimes and corrosive cleaning chemicals. In addition, a range of hygienic fittings are also available, ensuring all market requirements are met.
With maximum flow volumes up to 300m3/h, Mono's Luna lobe pumps are able to handle a wide range of viscosities and temperatures -40degC and 100degC as standard, with optional performance up to 200degC.
