The original design of the rotary lobe pump goes back to the early 30’s and has since then been further developed and improved. Rotary lobe pumps are easy to clean and have gentle product handling characteristics. They contain few cavities, which reduces the risk of bacterial growth and makes them particularly suitable for the transport of sensitive fluids – from glue to whole strawberries.
