Lobe Pumps vs. Centrifugal Pumps What’s the Difference?
Lobe pumps are good for high-viscosity liquids, while centrifugal pumps are cost-effective and generate high flow rates.
Lobe pumps are good for high-viscosity liquids, while centrifugal pumps are cost-effective and generate high flow rates.
Rotary lobe pumps are ideal for high-viscosity liquids, using counter-rotating lobes to move fluid in either direction. Different lobe types and applications exist.
Rotary lobe pumps can run in reverse, making them ideal for systems that require bidirectional flow. Centrifugal pumps can’t run in reverse or may be damaged.
Rotary lobe pumps can run dry with lubricated seals, but water pumps get damaged. Install dry-running protection or choose suitable pumps.
