Lobe pumps are frequently used in filling machines because they offer several advantages for precise and gentle product handling, particularly with viscous or shear-sensitive fluids. Lobe pumps consist of two rotors that rotate within a casing. These lobes mesh together without touching, creating pockets that draw in the fluid and transport it through the pump. The smooth, non-pulsating flow they generate is crucial for accurate filling.
A lobe pump would be integrated into the machine's system, usually connected to a filling nozzle or valve. The pump's flow rate is precisely controlled to dispense the desired amount of product into containers. The machine often includes features like sensors to monitor filling levels and automatic controls to manage the filling process.
