rotary lobe pumps
Vogelsang rotary lobe pumps are well-known
worldwide for their excellent ability to gently
pump highly viscous fluids and media
containing solids, and for their easy
installation, operation and maintenance.
Our customers in the sugar industry require a robust pump that can gently handle high viscosity liquids
with abrasive particles even at high temperatures. Vogelsang pumps are able to meet these requirements.
An extensive selection of materials, components and design options as well as the knowledge to apply
them in the most cost-effective way allows us to find the best solution for the sugar industry.
Vogelsang rotary lobe pumps are designed to provide trouble- performed inline without having to dismount the unit from the
