Attached to your car, truck or as a trailer it is possible to pump large quantities of fluids with solid content, wastewater and slurries at remote sites.  At the core of the mobile units are the TORNADO ® pumps with two rotary lobes which are three-winged and screw-shaped and engage whilst rotating. They thereby generate a vacuum on the suction side . This means the water is drawn in automatically andconveyed to the discharge side . Viscosity and dry matter content have a minimal effect on the volumetric flow. Solids like sand or clumps of earth pose absolutely no problems for the robust pumps. Robust design ensures reliable operation. When designing the pumps, special attention was paid to robustness to ensure that abrasive or aggressive media would be unable to damage the technology. Powerful mobile pumping solution for high volume flows Constant flow rate , up to 1,400 m³/h Diesel or electric drive Pressures up to six bar, higher pressures on request Resistant to solids with a grain size of up to 70 millimetres Resistant to abrasive media Self-priming Easy to control Easy to maintain thanks to the FSIP® (Full Service in Place) design concept The rotary lobes are coated with resistant nitrile rubber, which enables the pump seal to do its job reliably even under great stress and strain. Furthermore, the gear box and pump chambers in the pumps are separated from one another. Even in the event of the shaft sealing failing, the media being conveyed will not be able to get into the gear box and damage it. The pumping capacity , drive (diesel unit) and chassis are designed precisely to the features of the pumping medium and purpose. Highly diverse material and shaft seal variants cover virtually all applications in the areas of farming, environmental and catastrophe protection, chemical, paper as well as oil and gas. The TORNADO ® rotary lobe pump is designed for easy handling and maintenance . In this way, any maintenance can be performed directly on site. In order to clean or replace seals or rotary lobes, for example, only the housing cover has to be removed. This ensures that the pump is quickly ready for use again.

Contact us for help or fill in the contact form. form FAQ rotary lobe pumps What are the advantages of TORNADO® rotary lobe pumps? TORNADO® rotary lobe pumps from NETZSCH Pumps & Systems are characterised by their robust design, high efficiency and particularly maintenance-friendly construction. The innovative sub-assembly allows quick access to all parts that coming into contact with the pumped medium and significantly reduces downtime. Which media can be pumped with rotary lobe pumps? Rotary lobe pumps are suitable for low- viscosity to highly viscous media, including media containing solids. Even sensitive or shear-sensitive products can be conveyed gently, depending on the specific design and configuration. Are rotary lobe pumps self-priming? Yes, rotary lobe pumps are self-priming and have excellent suction behaviour. This makes them ideal for applications with changing fill levels or processes requiring reliable suction. How maintenance-intensive are rotary lobe pumps? Rotary lobe pumps require little maintenance. Wear parts can be replaced quickly and easily, often without dismantling the piping. This reduces maintenance times and increases plant availability. What spare parts are available for rotary lobe pumps? All relevant original spare parts for rotary lobe pumps are available from NETZSCH Pumps & Systems. These include lobe rotors, seals, shafts, bearings, housing parts and other wear-related components. All spare parts are precisely matched to the respective pump design, ensuring high reliability and long service life. How do I find the right spare part for my rotary lobe pump? The correct spare part can be identified by the machine number, serial number, or item number. Spare parts lists, technical drawings and the operating and maintenance instructions also assist. Alternatively, the NETZSCH Pumps & Systems service team can provide expert advice on selecting the right original spare part. What sizes and variants are available? TORNADO® rotary lobe pumps are available in various sizes and designs. Different materials, seal variants and connection options enable application-specific adaptation to almost any pumping task.
