Food Grade SS316 Rotary Lobe Pumps for Yogurt Transfer


Bonve rotary lobe pump isn't just a pump, it's a commitment to quality. 

Engineered specifically for delicate dairy products, Bonve rotary lobe pump ensures your yogurt's signature texture, viscosity, and creamy mouthfeel are maintained from mixing tank to filling line. 

Say goodbye to product degradation and hello to unmatched operational efficiency.

CIP Compatible Yogurt Filling Pump


The Challenge of Pumping Yogurt

Yogurt is a delicate emulsion of proteins and cultures. 

1. Aggressive pumping actions can shear these structures, leading to syneresis (wheying off), thinning, and an inferior final product. 
2. Traditional pumps often sacrifice quality for flow rate.
3. Sanitary Requirements: Compliance with food-grade standards (e.g., FDA, EHEDG) is critical to prevent contamination.


Bonve Yogurt Pumping Solution

Bonve rotary lobe pump addresses this core challenge with its innovative low-speed, high-volume design. Unlike centrifugal pumps, our rotary lobe technology moves product using two synchronized, non-contacting lobes. This creates a gentle, positive displacement action that lifts the yogurt rather than tearing it apart, guaranteeing that what you produce is exactly what your customer enjoys.




Bonve Rotary Lobe Pump Advantage

Designed specifically for thick, particle-laden fluids, Bonve Rotary Lobe Pump excels in yogurt handling with these innovations:

1. Shear-Sensitive Gentle Transfer

Preserves fruit pieces, probiotic cultures, and creamy viscosity for a premium consumer experience.

2. Hygienic 316L Stainless Steel

Exceeds food-grade standards. Highly resistant to corrosive cleaning agents and ensures product purity.

3. Sanitary, Easy-to-Clean Design
Allows for quick installation, disassembly, and integration into existing sanitary processing lines.
4. Mechanical Seal Design
Provides a reliable barrier, preventing product contamination and ensuring a leak-free operation.
Seal-Free Operation: Eliminates leakage risks and seal replacement costs.

5. Polished, Ra Surface < 0.8 µm

Ultra-smooth surfaces prevent bacterial adhesion and make cleaning fast and effective.

Cut Operational Costs: Lower energy use, fewer maintenance stops, and extended pump life.

Why Choose Bonve Yogurt Lobe Pump ?

1. Product Integrity Guarantee: Bonve primary design goal is to protect your product's quality. 

The low-Speed, low-shear operation ensures your yogurt's sensory properties remain intact.

2. Proven Expertise: Over 15 years of experience in the dairy and food industry.

3. Custom Solutions: Pumps can be customized to fit your exact production line layout.


FAQ Section

  • Q: Can this pump handle yogurt with large fruit pieces?
    A: Yes. The Bonve pump is excellent for pumping yogurt with particulates. The size of the particles it can handle depends on the pump size and rotor geometry. Please contact us with your specific fruit size requirements.

  • Q: How does the low-shear design work?
    A: The low-shear operation is achieved through a combination of large pumping chambers, optimized rotor profiles, and slower operating speeds compared to centrifugal pumps. This minimizes the mechanical agitation and shear forces that can damage yogurt's protein structure.

  • Q: Are your seals compatible with hot cleaning and caustic solutions?
    A: Absolutely. We offer a range of FDA-compliant seal materials (like FKM/Viton) specifically chosen to withstand high temperatures and aggressive CIP chemicals.

  • Q: Do you offer custom configurations?

  • A:  Yes. We can customize port sizes, surface finishes, and motor specifications to meet your exact plant layout and process requirements.

 Working Principle


 

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.
