Portable Hygienic Pumpsets for Pharmaceutical Applications
Our customer approached us for a hygienic pumpset as suitable for their pharmaceutical application, needing a solution for managing a Saline/Red Blood Cell mix.
Key criteria considered were:
- Gentle pumping action to best maintain this blood product integrity.
- Variable flow rate operating range
- 316 Stainless Steel Construction with 0.8 m Ra internal surface finish
- Certified to EHEDG standards

Rotary Lobe Pumps – Sanitary
Description
Lobe pumps offer superb sanitary qualities, high efficiency, reliability, corrosion resistance, and good clean-in-place and sterilize-in-place (CIP/SIP) characteristics.
Lobe pumps work similarly to external gear pumps, but unlike external gear pumps, the lobes are non-contacting. Lobe pumps also have large pumping chambers, which enable them to transfer slurries.
Jabsco Rotary Lobe Pumps have been around for over 40 years and are the trusted name in the industry.
