SX UltraPure Rotary Lobe

SX UltraPure Rotary Lobe
Pump Overview test

The Alfa Laval SX UltraPure Rotary Lobe Pump is designed with optimised pump head geometry and multi-lobe rotors to ensure low-shear operation with minimum pulsation. This makes it the best choice for maintaining the integrity of delicate products in high-purity applications. 

The pump is designed according to the most stringent hygienic design standards and with verified, effective Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilisation-in-Place (SIP).

SX UltraPure Application

The SX UltraPure Rotary Lobe Pump is designed for gentle transportation of process fluids in high-purity applications across the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and home and personal care industries.

How SX UltraPure Works

A gear train in the pump gearbox drives and provides accurate synchronisation of the multi-lobe rotors. The movement of the counter-rotating rotors creates a partial vacuum that allows atmospheric pressure or other external pressures to force fluid into the pump chamber. As the rotors revolve, and the blades disengage, an expanding cavity is formed that fills with fluid. When the cavity diminishes, as the blades engage again, this fluid is displaced into the outlet port.
