Lobe pumps are a type of positive displacement pump that include pairs of rotating lobes, which are similar to gears even though they don’t touch. As the lobes rotate together, they create a suction that pulls liquid into the pump. When fluid enters the pump’s casing, it becomes trapped because the lobes only rotate in one direction.

The fluid continues to get pushed toward the output area of the pump. Because the lobes don’t come into contact with each other, this type of pump can handle denser liquids and liquids with some solid materials.

One of the biggest benefits of lobe pumps is that they are one of the few industrial pumps that have no metal-to-metal contact within the pump itself. This makes them ideal for sanitary applications that involve viscous liquids or liquids containing solid bits.
