Vogelsang rotary lobe pumps and macerators

The internal geometry of the Vogelsang rotary lobe pump ensures a gentle pumping action that will not damage the product. The pumps can handle solids up to 61 mm in diameter, and should the pump ever become clogged, it can be easily reversed to remove the blockage. The rubber lobe pump does not get stopped by rogue metals in the system as it is more forgiving than an all-metal rotor.

The rotary lobe pumps are suitable for many food processing industries such as fruit and vegetables, brewery, meat and poultry, fish, sugar and others. The Vogelsang VX series are multipurpose lobe pumps with a pumping capacity of 1 to 1000 m³/h. They have been designed for use in various food processing environments, whether it be simple transfer, precision centrifuge feed, food waste, etc.

The company also offers machines for efficient maceration of coarse and fibrous matter in liquid media with effective protection from foreign objects and heavy matter. All RotaCut models perform two functions simultaneously: solids reduction and solids separation. Coarse matter (fibres, hair, bones, wood, etc) is macerated; hard foreign objects and debris (stones, metal parts, etc) are separated from the liquid stream preventing damage to downstream pumps and equipment. As a result, RotaCut ensures the smooth flow of liquid throughout a system.
