How to Transfer High-Viscosity Creams with a Rotary Lobe Pump

In the food, cosmetic, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries, high-viscosity creams can be difficult to transfer due to their limited flowability.

Selecting the right pump is essential for maintaining stable production and consistent product quality.

Challenges of High-Viscosity Creams

Creams, gels, and paste-like products typically have the following characteristics:

• High viscosity
• Little or no self-flow
• Sensitive to excessive shear
• Require smooth and stable transfer
• Often used in hygienic manufacturing processes

Why Choose a Rotary Lobe Pump?

A rotary lobe pump is a positive displacement pump designed to handle viscous products efficiently.

Key benefits include:

• Suitable for high-viscosity and low-flow products
• Stable and continuous flow
• Gentle product handling that helps reduce excessive shear
• Suitable for hygienic applications in the food and cosmetic industries
• Easy cleaning and maintenance, depending on system design

Demonstration

In this demonstration, a highly viscous cream with little or no flow is transferred using a rotary lobe pump.

As shown in the video, the pump delivers smooth and continuous transfer despite the product's limited flowability.

Typical applications include:

• -Cosmetic creams
• -Skin care products
• -Lotions
• -Food sauces
• -Gels
• -Other high-viscosity products

Conclusion

Choosing the right pump is critical when handling highly viscous products with little or no flow.

A rotary lobe pump provides stable, gentle, and reliable transfer, making it a practical solution for hygienic processing applications.
