Lobe pump - electrically driven
The LTE series is a high-quality, electrically driven hygienic truck pump designed for efficient loading and unloading of both low and high viscosity liquids. With its compact design, polished stainless steel components, and easy maintenance, the LTE series is ideal for use in the food industry and other demanding sectors. The pump supports bi-directional operation, offers excellent cleanability (CIP), and is available with a wide range of connections and seals to suit your specific application.
The LTE is an alternative for truck pumps that used to have a hydraulic motor (like the Packo LT series). Thanks to the replacement of the hydraulic motor by an electric motor, the diesel engine of the truck can be switched off during loading and unloading what saves energy and noise and no PTO is needed. Thanks to the absence of hydraulic oil, there is no risk of food contamination.
Construction
The LTE uses the wetted end of the Hyline~ plus (HP series) in 316L stainless steel. Both Scimitar and Tri-lobe rotors are available.
Shaft sealing options are mechanical seal (carbon / stainless steel or SiC/SiC with NBR, EPDM, FKM or PTFE as secondary seal material) or NBR O-ring seal (all FDA certified). Optional heating jackets are available.
The food-grade-oil filled gearbox contains a factor 2.5 speed reduction between motor and pump rotors. Although the pump is typically used with a frequency convertor, in emergency situations the 6 pole motor can run direct online resulting in a rotor speed of 400 rpm (50Hz regions).
The installed motor is an IEC standard motor frame 132 with B14 flange (typically 5.5kW 6 pole) with adapted shaft to make the unit as compact as possible. In figures, with a total length of less than 850 mm, the LTE is the solution for limited installation spaces, such as those found in tankers.
Application areas
The pump is used for truck loading and unloading with all kind of viscous liquids in the food and chemical industries (chocolate, juices, sirups, blood, oil, glycerin, etc).
