Core Features & Performance

1. Rotary Lobe Design: Delivers smooth, low-shear flow that protects sensitive fluids.
2. Capacity: 0.06 gallons (0.227 liters) per revolution with flow rates up to 36 GPM (8.2 m³/hr).
3. Pressure & Speed: Operates at pressures up to 200 PSI (13.8 bar) with a flexible speed range of 0–600 RPM.
4. Gentle Handling: Maintains the structure of shear-sensitive materials like live cultures, emulsions, and biologics.
5. Pulse-Free Flow: Provides steady metering and dosing without cavitation or flow interruption.

Construction & Materials

1. Pump Body & Cover: Made of FDA-compliant 316L stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance.
2. Shafts: Constructed from durable 316 stainless steel.
3. Rotors: Built with Waukesha "88" non-galling alloy for precision and longevity.
4. Sanitary Standards: Compatible with CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Steam-in-Place) cleaning protocols.
5. Frame Design: Cast iron bearing frame with Steel-It coating for added durability in industrial environments.

Fluid Handling Capabilities

1. Efficiently manages low-viscosity liquids, viscous formulations, and even slurries with soft solids.
2. Maintains gentle, minimally agitated transfer to preserve product quality.
3. Offers strong suction lift and cavitation resistance, even under challenging conditions.

Maintenance & Operational Benefits

1. Front Seal Access: Enables seal replacement without removing the pump from piping, reducing downtime.
2. Flexible Mounting: Multiple port orientations support custom installations.
3. Simplified Gear Arrangement: Unique timing gear design reduces maintenance complexity.
4. Contamination Protection: Gear case isolates lubricants from product contact.
5. Durability: Heavy-duty, grease-lubricated bearings extend service life and maintain performance.

Technical Specifications

1. Operating Temperature: Standard range -40°F to 200°F (-40°C to 93°C); hot clearance rotors allow up to 300°F (149°C).
2. Drive Options: Direct-coupled gear motors, variable speed drives (mechanical or electronic), hydraulic motors, or integral reducers.
3. Seal Options: Commercial, packing, triple-lip, or cartridge mechanical seals.
4. Mounting Flexibility: Supports vertical or horizontal ports with adjustable shaft positioning.

Applications & Industries

1. Pharmaceuticals & Biotech: Sterile transfers, vaccine production, culture media, buffers.
2. Food & Beverage: Dairy products, sauces, syrups, viscous or delicate fluids.
3. Chemical Processing: Precision metering and handling of specialty chemicals.
4. Research Labs & Pilot Plants: Accurate dosing, shear-sensitive transfers, and process development.
