Mid-Tech offers a wide range of high-performance compressed air products and solutions to suit your industrial and commercial application needs. Whatever you are looking for, you can trust Mid-Tech as your Compressed Air Experts to find the perfect system for you! With years of industry knowledge and expertise, we only stock and distribute market-leading solutions we trust to promise unrivalled reliability, performance and results.

One of these expert solutions is our range of Rotary Lobe Pumps, which are positive-displacement pumps that utilise two or more lobes that rotate around parallel shafts. This allows the pump to move liquids throughout its system.

Uses of Rotary Lobe Pumps:

Rotary Lobe Pumps are widely used within industries where high hygiene standards are crucial, as they can create a sanitary working environment. You will, therefore, often see them operating in the Chemical, Pharmaceutical or Food and Beverage industries.

Due to their no-contact operation in the vacuum chamber, pump maintenance is easy as their components will show fewer signs of wear. This non-contact design aids the fundamental requirement for contamination-free processes in these industries.

Rotary Lobe Pumps are also known for their usefulness in applications that need a coarse or fine vacuum to enable them to handle gases and vapours. This type of product thrives in these environments due to its robust design and reliable performance. Lobe pumps are also known for their effectiveness in dealing with viscous liquids, as, unlike many other types of pumps, they can let these liquids flow through their system without breaking them apart. This quality is especially useful for the food and beverage industry.

Elmo Rietschle’s R-Series Rotary Lobe Pumps:

Mid-Tech is a specialist distributor of Elmo Rietschle’s industry-leading R-Series Rotary Lobe Pumps. Elmo Rietschle is a trusted figure within the air compressor industry, well-renowned for designing environmentally friendly, reliable compressed air solutions to improve the productivity of your operations. Their range of Pumps is recognised for their expert design and unrivalled performance.

The R-Series Rotary Lobe Pumps are a dry-running positive displacement solution, eliminating the need for any oil in your compression chamber. This, therefore, reduces the risk of oil or grease contamination within your compressed air solution. The only exception to this is the gear box and bearings, which are oil lubricated to enhance the efficiency and productivity of their innovative rotary technology. However, this is separated from the pumping chamber to preserve this contamination-free, hygienic environment.

These expert Rotary Lobe Pumps encompass evolutionary features such as frequency control, as well as many other technological additions that can be customised and adapted to conform with your application needs. Their modular design enhances this unrivalled flexibility, as they can be configured to suit operational changes or fluctuations in demand.

When a fine vacuum is required in a particular industrial application, the Elmo Rietschle R-Series Rotary Lobe Pumps are often used within a pump set package with a V-VC Rotary Vane Pump.
