Rotary lobe pumps are positive displacement pumps that move fluid using two synchronized rotating lobes. As the lobes rotate, expanding cavities draw fluid into the pump and carry it around the interior of the casing before discharging it from the outlet.
Lobe pumps are commonly used for moving viscous, shear-sensitive, or solids-containing materials. Applications can be found in food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, chemical processing, wastewater treatment, pulp and paper production, and other process industries.
DAC Worldwide’s Lobe Pump Dissectible (275-136) is constructed from an actual industrial pump restored for realistic classroom and laboratory training. Well-known industrial pump brands and models are selected according to availability and training relevance.
The dissectible allows learners to explore the construction, operation, inspection, disassembly, and reassembly of a rotary lobe pump. Primary components and design features are retained, and replacement hardware is provided where necessary.
The pump is cleaned, restored, and painted with a high-durability urethane coating where appropriate. It is mounted on a modular, 7-gauge formed-steel baseplate with provisions for installation on compatible DAC Worldwide benches, workstations, and storage racks.
An applicable installation and maintenance manual from the original equipment manufacturer is provided to support equipment-specific instruction when available.
Learners can use the Lobe Pump Dissectible to explore:
Product and shipping dimensions are approximate and may vary according to the make and model of the industrial pump supplied.
