Hygienic SS316 Rotary Lobe Pump For Various Sauce Transfer
Bonve: Rotary Lobe Pump Solutions for Sauce Production
The Challenge
A leading sauce manufacturer struggled to transfer high-viscosity products like chili paste and thick sauces. Existing pumps damaged ingredients through excessive shear forces and incurred high maintenance costs from frequent part replacements.
The Solution
Bonve provided its food-grade rotary lobe pumps featuring:
- 316/316L stainless steel wetted parts (FDA-compliant)
- Ultra-smooth surfaces (<1.6μm roughness) for hygienic CIP/SIP processes
- Low-speed, low-shear operation to preserve texture and flavor integrity
- Handling viscosities up to 100,000 mPa·s
- Bi-wing rotor design for particle-laden sauces and zero-leakage mechanical seals
The Results
Quality Preservation: Maintained chili paste's original spiciness and sauce consistency.
Cost Efficiency: 60% fewer maintenance interventions due to easy disassembly and durable components.
Productivity Boost: 30% faster transfer rates enabled uninterrupted batch processing.
About Bonve Rotary Lobe Pump
Bonve Rotary Lobe Pumps is a specialized positive - displacement pump with its non-contact pump element design has the ability to cover a wide range of applications in industry. The hygienic design, anti-corrosive stainless steel construction and smooth pumping action have long established these pumps in the food, beverage, dairy and pharmaceutical industries.
Features include:
• Gentle transfer of delicate suspended solids.
• Bi-directional operation.
• Compact size with high performance and low energy input.
• Ability to pump shear sensitive media.
• Easy maintenance.
Bonve lobe pumps basically consist of two lobe rotors, which rotate synchronously driven by a pair of synchronous gears in the gearbox. The rotors are driven by the main shaft and sub-shaft to rotate in a synchronous reverse direction, which changes the pump capacity, builds up high vacuum and discharge pressure, thus an efficient pumping is formed. Gap is kept between the rotors and between the pump casing, no friction, long life, no damage, no physical and chemical reaction to the pumped products.

Main Parts of the Complete Pump
Bonve complete pumps are usually composed of bare shaft pump, coupling and its guard, geared motor and base plate. With your order, bare shaft pump or complete pump is supplied.
Bare Shaft Pump Structure
Structure Details
Bonve has an advantage over lobe pump that no other company can match.
1.Rotor:The error of the rotors processed by CNC is extremely small. The unique rotor perfectly seals the inlet and outlet of the pump. The vacuum degree of the pump is up to -0.095MPA. The rotor material and type can be selected according to the characteristics of the pumped product.
2.Shaft: The transmission shaft is processed by CNC machining center, which has characteristics of high precision, high bending strength and strong wear resistance.
3.Pump cavity: The pump cavity is sealed by a pump cover that can be opened quickly, enabling quick maintenance of the pump. The pump body is processed by CNC machining.
4.Gears:High-precision, High-Standard synchronous gears have good meshing, smooth transmission, low noise, and excellent bearing capacity.
5.Mechanical seal: The seal material and type are selected according to the characteristic of the pumped product, to ensure zero leakage, no pollution, and more environmental production.
6.Bearings: Six bearings arranged in a separate arrangement increase the concentricity of the pump operation, enhance the bearing capacity of the shaft and make the pump running more stable, thereby increasing the service life of the shaft and the mechanical seal.
7.Gear box: The gear box is processed by CNC, with high precision, high concentricity and strong versatility.
8.Spindle:We use splines the bearings and spindle, makes the pump less likely to slip. The high-precision spline makes the pump run more smoothly, and the service life is much higher than that of its peers.
