TopWing series. Rotary lobe pumps
TopWing series pumps are aseptic lobe pumps with an innovative design, created for demanding applications. They ensure high hygiene of operation, eliminating areas where product deposits can form, which reduces the risk of bacterial flora growth. Thanks to the two-wing lobes, they minimize the destruction of shear-sensitive media.
They are adapted to extreme conditions, offering a robust design, high efficiency and easy maintenance, which reduces operating costs. These pumps are characterized by the ability to operate at higher temperatures (up to 150 °C). They are available in versions with various types of seals and options, allowing horizontal or vertical mounting, making them versatile. The TopWing series has numerous hygienic certificates (EHEDG, 3-A), material certificates (3.1, FDA) and quality certificates (ISO 9001, ISO 14000) – thanks to this, the pump can be approved for ultra-hygienic applications.

The operating principle of a lobe pump is based on displacing a specific dose of liquid from the suction area to the discharge area by rotating the working elements (lobes). The lobes are mounted on shafts, which are supported by bearings in an external synchronizer. Shafts equipped with gears, located inside the synchronizer, transfer the drive from the drive shaft to the intermediate shaft. The lobes are synchronized so that they do not touch each other during operation.
As the lobes rotate, they increase the volume of the space between the teeth, causing a pressure drop on the suction port side (Fig. 1). This causes liquid to flow into the pump housing. The pumped liquid is transported inside the housing (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3) to the discharge side of the pump (Fig. 4). When the volume of the inter-lobe space decreases, it causes a pressure increase on the discharge port side, and consequently, the liquid is pushed out of the pump housing.
Two-vane lobe rotor
Smooth operation with minimal damage to pumped media containing soft particles, such as fruit, and low pulsation when pumping viscous liquids.
Multi-vane cam rotor
Low noise level, low pulsation when pumping low viscosity liquids. Low NPSHr and reduced friction and power losses.
| Rectangular inlet | For products with very high viscosity. Using a rectangular inlet significantly improves inlet conditions. Better NPSH, ability to pump denser media. | |
| Relief valve | Releases pressure inside the pump when it becomes too high. Available as spring pre-tensioned, spring pre-tensioned and air-balanced, or pre-tensioned and air-balanced. Thanks to easy cleaning and the air-balanced option, relief valves can also be used as a CIP valve controlled by the cleaning process. | |
| Heating jacket | Devices for pre-heating or cooling on the front cover and on the seals. | |
