Considerations for the use of Lobe Pumps in the confectionery manufacturing industry
Within the candy manufacturing process, different types of pumps may be used. However, lobe pumps are usually among the top picks for the best pumps for candy and confectionery manufacturing. Even with this specific type of pump technology, there are some considerations to keep in mind when deciding which lobe pump to use for this application.
The importance of Lobe Pumps in the confectionery industry
Lobe pumps are an integral part of the hygienic production processes in the confectionery industry, not only because of their ability to pump viscous products but also due to their outstanding performance under various operational conditions. These pumps are particularly suited for applications that require high temperatures, such as processing melted chocolate (< 100 degrees) or sugar masses (>100 degrees), maintaining efficiency and reliability.
Key Considerations
To select the right lobe pump for your application, certain considerations must be kept in mind. Some of the key considerations are the following:
- Process Specification
- Hygiene and cleaning
- Material compatibility
- Efficiency and maintenance
Each one of these considerations has a great impact on the effectiveness of the lobe pump in question. The whitepaper discusses these topics in further detail.
