VIKING HYGIENIC STERILOBE PUMP MODEL SLCL/0254/10 FOR PUMPING CAUSTIC SOLUTION / PROTEIN PASTE

One of the biggest challenges in fluid handling is when a customer needs to transfer a wide range of liquids with just one pump. That was exactly the case for this pump supplied recently to a major pharmaceutical manufacturer.

Their existing lobe pump was proving unreliable and inefficient, creating unnecessary downtime and lost production. They needed a robust, hygienic, and flexible solution that could handle varying viscosities and pressures without compromising performance.

Our answer was a Sterilobe rotary lobe pump from Viking Pump Hygienic, a stainless steel unit fitted with an integrated pressure relief valve and long-coupled to a 2.2 kW motor with onboard inverter control. To meet the customer’s specific requirements, we also supplied the pump on a custom height adjustable stainless steel baseplate. The Sterilobe pumps are especially suitable for pharmaceutical and biopharma applications as they are available with a surface finish 0.4µm or better, and all necessary certifications.

The result? A reliable, efficient, and hygienic pumping system that restored confidence in their process and kept production running smoothly.
