It is used above all for handling sticky fluids or fluids liable to solidify, whose lack of lubricating properties would destroy a mechanical seal. The gland packing can also be fed with a flushing or barrier liquid. This protects the gland packing against overheating and also constitutes a hydraulic barrier between the fluid handled and the atmosphere. Lip seal The seal seal consists of a joint ring made of FKM (Viton) or thermoplastic polyurethane (S1-Ecopur). The lip seal can either be designed to replace a mechanical seal, or fitted in the pump from the front end (i.e. rotor end) for greater ease of maintenance.

Description of design principle The Vitalobe rotary lobe pump is a positive displacement pump designed to meet hygienic requirements. The basic pump design is as follows: Two rotors rotate in precise synchronisation in opposite directions in the rotor casing. Each is driven by its own shaft which runs in two rolling element bearings located in the bearing bracket. Synchronisation of the driven and the driving shaft is effected by a high-precision gearbox, in which one gear is installed in fixed position while the position of the other gear on the shaft can be adjusted by means of a clamping device. Which of the shafts is the driving shaft and thus determines the position of the drive shaft end protruding from the gear housing can be selected to suit the actual requirements. The shaft passage through the rotor casing is sealed dynamically by a mechanical seal, shaft seal ring or gland packing, either with or without a flushing system. A clearance separating the rotor casing from the bearing bracket prevents unnecessary heat build-up in the pump (thermally-induced dimensional changes) and the fluid handled and prevents contamination of the fluid handled and the lubricants. The rotor casing has two connections, i.e. one suction and one discharge connection. The connections are positioned either horizontally or vertically. As the connections are welded onto the casing, a wide variety of connections can be supplied. Rotor rotation is reversible, so that the pump can be operated in both directions. At the front, the rotor casing is closed by a casing cover and sealed by means of a joint ring around its circumference. The rotors are fastened to the shafts by a screw each, and precisely aligned to each other and to the rotor casing/casing cover. To prevent damage to the rotors and the casing (galling), the rotors revolve without making contact with each other and the casing; they are separated by minimal clearances. The pump's design allows full cleaning-in-place (CIP) and sterilising-in-place (SIP) without any residues. Vertically installed pumps can be completely drained via the bottom nozzle. The pump can be supplied either with bare shaft end or as a baseplate-mounted pump set with coupling and geared motor. It can also be mounted on a trolley. Rotors (rotary lobes): A range of interchangeable rotary lobe designs allows adjustment to various requirements. The lobes are made of stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L). Depending on the size, the rotors are also available in an "non-galling" alloy (CY5SnBiM) or with a plastic coating (bi-lobe and tri-lobe rotors only). Rotor types Tri-lobe rotors Bi-lobe rotors Bi-wing rotors Roto r applica tions: Various rotor types are available to suit the pump's field of application and the fluid to be handled. Bi-lobe rotors are generally suited to virtually any standard application; however, they are particularly suitable for handling highly viscous fluids and solids-containing fluids. Tri-lobe rotors enable fluid transport at high rotational speeds and low pulsation as well as very gentle fluid handling. Bi-wing rotors are characterised by good self-priming properties and high efficiency. Ope rating pr inciple: Illustration of operating principle Two precisely synchronised rotors rotate in opposite directions. As the rotors rotate in opposite directions, the volume trapped on the suction side expands, creating a negative pressure which draws the fluid to be handled into the pump. The fluid handled is trapped between the rotor and the casing and conveyed to the discharge side. When the fluid reaches the discharge side, the volume is reduced by the re-engaging contra-rotating lobe, which increases the pressure and forces the fluid handled out of the pump. Owing to its symmetrical design, Vitalobe can be operated in both directions. However, the pump must not be operated against against a closed valve as it would continue to build up pressure, which would inevitably destroy the pump. Description of individual designs Vitalobe B Different Vitalobe designs are available to meet specific hygienic requirement levels. In its basic design (design B), the type series meets cleanability levels 1 + 2 to EN 13951. (The pump must comply with all relevant sections of this standard; soils may be visible to the naked eye after cleaning in place. No level of micro-organisms remaining is defined.) The pump can, therefore, be used in general industry and life sciences applications with low hygienic requirements. The hygienic construction of design B is characterised by trowalised surfaces (after machining), non-countersunk rotor screws and FDA-compliant seal materials. Vit alobe BB Vitalobe BB meets cleanability levels 3 and 4 to EN 13951 (The pump must comply with all relevant sections of this standard; no soils must be visible to the naked eye after cleaning in place. A specific cleanability level is defined for the microorganisms remaining.) and can be used in life sciences applications with high hygienic requirements. The hygienic construction of design BB is characterised by electro-polished surfaces ( 0.8 µm), casing gasket and rotor fastening method (countersunk screws) in compliance with the 3A Sanitary Standard, a shaft seal designed for improved cleanability and FDA-certified seal materials. These design features make for improved CIP/SIP. Accessories Bypass valve (explosion protection) Pump on trolley Heatable casing/cover Vitalobe 9
