Brand

The Alfa Laval SRU rotary lobe pump is a positive displacement pump for gentle handling of sensitive process fluids in demanding hygienic applications. High-precision rotors and low-shear, low-pulsation pumping action ensure reliable, continuous performance and superior energy efficiency. Its contamination-proof design ensures compliance with the most stringent hygienic design standards and the requirements for Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilization-in-Place (SIP) validation.

Description

High pump efficiency and gentle product treatment optimize contamination-free transfer of viscous products

  • Maximize uptime through consistent performance
  • Raise product quality due to gentle, low-shear product handling
  • Increase product safety and quality due to hygienic design and validated cleaning processes
  • Add more process flexibility with versatile handling and efficient pumping of various products, including viscous media
  • Low-maintenance design – a robust gearbox construction with heavy-duty shafts, torque locking assemblies and taper roller bearings minimizes service

The Alfa Laval SRU rotary lobe pump provides high-efficiency fluid transfer, maximizing uptime while minimizing contamination risks and maintenance costs. Its low-pulsation, low-shear pumping action transfers media of varying viscosities with ease. Modular design provides great flexibility to tailor a pump to meet specific process requirements.

Available with 12 different pump head displacements, the SRU rotary lobe pump handles flow rates up to 106 m3/h, differential pressures up to 20 bar and temperatures up to 200°C.

How does the SRU rotary lobe pump work?

Consistent performance

The reliable SRU rotary lobe pd pump features a front cover seal with defined compression, rotor nut retention design, drainable pump head and ultra-clean surface finishes to maximize uptime and minimize contamination risks.

Greater flexibility

Modular design and a broad range of models, capacities and options provide versatility to meet specific application and process requirements.

Low maintenance

A robust gearbox construction with heavy-duty shafts, torque locking assemblies and tapered roller bearings minimizes maintenance requirements.

Certification, specifications, and standards

SRU rotary lobe pumps meet the requirements of global hygienic standards, including 3-A Sanitary Standards and FDA standards. The pumps can also meet ATEX requirements for use in explosive environments.
