LobePro Rotary Pumps currently manufactures 13 models of positive displacement rotary lobe pumps divided into five series: G-Series (general use pumps), S-Series (sludge/slurry) pumps, C-Series (chemical/and corrosive resistant) pumps, D-Series (duplex pumps and abrasive applications); and A-Series (API-676 Compliant for Oil and Gas Industry). Applications for LobePro pumps include: Sludge, Slurries and Mud, Oil and Gas, Oil Spill and Recovery, BioSolids and BioFuel, Wastewater, Chemical Industry, Pulp and Paper, Sugar, Food Processing, Construction Dewatering, Environment Remediation, Mining, Agriculture, Wine, Power Plants, and Chlorides, Hydroxides and H2S.

LobePro’s rotary lobe pumps are typically used to pump sludge to and from thickeners, separators (such as belt presses, centrifuges, and rotary presses), digesters, and clarifiers. They are in fact suitable for pumping any wastewater treatment plant sludge once hard solids over 1/8” and grit are removed. LobePro can provide an in-line grinder, filter or knock-out tank to remove hard solids larger than 1/8″ if necessary.

LobePro pumps are also used in oil and gas applications: pumping drilling fluid, feeding decanting centrifuges, booster pumps in pipelines for oil containing abrasives and waste oil, and pumping jet fuel and diesel from tanks requiring a suction lift. The API-Series pump complies with API 676 with a seal exception. LobePro manufactures an oil lubricated cartridge seal which is long lasting, leak free, and proven in many harsh applications.

The company’s goal is to provide products which reduce our customers’ total costs compared to other alternatives. These savings are achieved through product reliability, energy efficiency, wear part durability, application engineering and training, and caring management. LobePro has manufactured many thousands of pumps since the parent company was founded in 1978.

Equipment:
2 GM 34 Lobe Pro Rotary Pumps, 7.5 HP, 500 RPM
100 GPM @ 400 RPM @ 100’ TDH

Application:
A Florida concrete manufacture has used LobePro Rotary Pumps in three plants to assist them in the making of concrete.

Job Description:
Don Justice, contractor for the concrete company began to investigate alternatives to using expensive city water to mix their DOT concrete. Their concrete production requires is 50 to 100 gpm. They were looking for a simple solution to their problem. LobePro Rotary Pumps provide that solution. By using one skid mounted GM34 LobePro Rotary Pumps, the concrete company was able to utilize all the water that was available from their existing well. They used a 3” swan neck pipe to handle the suction lift.

LobePro currently has pumps in three plants. They have saved enough money by not using city water that the concrete company has decided to continue the conversion with their other nine plants.

LobePro has added a completely new pump series to their ever growing line of rotary lobe pumps. After a lengthy design and trial process, this new frame services is ready for production. The new small frame S8 and S16 models will serve to meet the needs of customers with lower flow requirement.

The S-Series will be ideal for metering, sludge and many OEM applications where the current M34 is too large. The S8 has 72 gpm maximum capacity (8 gallons maximum flow per 100 rpm), and 175 psi maximum working pressure. The S16 has 144 gpm maximum capacity (16 gallons maximum flow per 100 rpm), and 150 psi maximum working pressure. With a rated rpm of 0 – 900 rpm, the pumps feature LobePro’s six wing lobes and have options for stainless steel components. GS8 and GS16 are for general use; SS8 and SS16 are for sludge, mud and slurry; and CS8 and CS16 are for chemical and corrosive. These are available as API 676 Compliant pumps.

The corrosive resistance stainless steel pumps are ideally suited for pumping most polymers because of their near pulseless measured flow, which produces the correct pressure without valves. The S pumps feature field rebuildable cartridge seals. Rotary lobe pumps are often selected in place of other PD pumps because they are compact, can be repaired in place, can run dry, are self-priming, and have reversible operation capabilities.
