Ideal for gentle product treatment, the SRU pump offers low shear and low pulsation, ensuring hygienic, efficient handling of food products without compromising texture or quality.
An SRU Rotary Lobe Pump is a positive displacement pump commonly used in industries where precise and gentle handling of liquids is essential. It features two lobes that rotate in opposite directions to move liquid through the pump without pulsation, making it ideal for sensitive or high-viscosity fluids. These pumps are widely used in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing.
The SRU Rotary Lobe Pumps are ideal for industries requiring gentle handling of sensitive or high-viscosity liquids. Common applications include food processing, dairy, beverage production, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. They are particularly suited for transferring products like creams, syrups, sauces, and yeast suspensions.
These pumps meet rigorous hygiene standards, including 3-A Sanitary Standards, FDA compliance, and EHEDG certification.
Yes, SRU pumps are designed for easy maintenance with modular construction and readily available spare parts. The design allows for quick disassembly and replacement of seals or other components, minimising downtime.
The SRU pumps are energy efficient and support Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilisation-in-Place (SIP) systems, which reduce water and chemical usage, supporting sustainable operations.
