LBX Series Rotary Lobe Pump Specifications
Use this table to shortlist the LBX Series before quotation. The published values are verified from Shubham LBX data; remaining duty details must be confirmed against the actual liquid, site condition and required flow-pressure point.
| Parameter | LBX Series value | Why it matters for selection |
|---|---|---|
| Pump type | Positive displacement rotary lobe pump | Used where controlled transfer is needed for viscous or sensitive liquids. |
| Max viscosity | Up to 100,000 cP | Confirms whether thick paste, syrup, cream or polymer duty is within the published range. |
| Max flow rate | Up to 750 LPM | Shortlists pump size before checking pressure, speed and viscosity together. |
| Max operating pressure | Up to 7 bar / 100 PSI | Checks whether the duty can overcome line loss, filters, elevation and back pressure. |
| MOC for casing | AISI 316 stainless steel | Material compatibility must match hygiene, pH, temperature and cleaning chemistry. |

| Seal options | Single mechanical seal / double mechanical seal / gland packing | Seal selection depends on viscosity, temperature, abrasiveness, leakage tolerance and cleaning. |
| Suitable liquid type | Viscous food, dairy, pharma, cosmetic and compatible process liquids | Ensures the pump is selected for the liquid behavior, not only the industry label. |
| Shear-sensitive handling | Positive action with no shear, agitation or aeration stated in Shubham data | Important for emulsions, creams, pastes and products where texture can change during transfer. |
| Cleaning compatibility | Easy-clean CIP or rapid manual cleaning without disconnecting pipework | Cleaning method affects connection, seal, drainage and production downtime decisions. |

How It Works
How the LBX Rotary Lobe Pump Transfers Fluid
A rotary lobe pump uses two counter-rotating lobed rotors inside a pump casing. As the rotors turn, they create expanding cavities on the suction side, carry fluid around the casing and displace it forward at the discharge side. This positive displacement action helps maintain controlled flow for viscous liquids when the speed, pressure and suction condition are correctly selected.
The verified LBX data describes positive, uninterrupted action with no shear, agitation or aeration. That is why plant engineers often evaluate LBX for cream, ghee, sauces, thick syrups, cosmetic creams, pharmaceutical paste and polymer transfer where product structure matters.
Centrifugal pumps are usually efficient for lower-viscosity liquids, but thick liquids can reduce centrifugal performance and increase shear concerns. LBX is a positive displacement option when the liquid is viscous, the transfer must be controlled and the duty point fits the published range.
Duty-point confirmation is required before quotation. Share the liquid name, viscosity, flow rate, pressure or head, temperature, pH, solids, suction condition, connection type, seal requirement, cleaning method and quantity so the pump can be sized properly.
Positive displacement flow
Flow rate is directly proportional to rotor speed, so the LBX maintains steady transfer for viscous fluids where centrifugal flow drops as pressure and viscosity rise.
Gentle low-shear transfer
The lobe rotor path avoids high-velocity impeller zones, helping protect cream, ghee, fruit fillings, pharmaceutical gels, and emulsions from texture change.
Gear case and timing gears
Shubham LBX data lists a cast iron gear case with oil-lubricated rolling bearings and precision timing gears.
Applications
Where the LBX Series Lobe Pump Is Used
The LBX Series is reviewed where viscous liquid transfer, food grade lobe pump selection, pharmaceutical paste transfer, cream transfer, syrup transfer, tomato sauce transfer, cosmetic cream transfer or shear-sensitive polymer transfer is required. Final selection is based on duty data, not industry name alone.
Dairy
Cream, curd base, ghee, yogurt, butter and thick dairy liquids where viscosity and shear sensitivity make centrifugal selection difficult.
dairy pump applicationsFood
Sauce, syrup, paste, slurry, fruit filling, jam, confectionery and edible viscous transfer after confirming solids, temperature and cleaning method.
Pharma
Hygienic paste, syrup, slurry, latex and process transfer applications where AISI 316 material, connection and cleaning requirements fit the duty.
Cosmetic
Cream, gel, lotion, shampoo and similar viscous cosmetic products where controlled, gentle transfer and seal compatibility are important.
Polymer / Process
Shear-sensitive viscous materials where rotor-speed-based positive displacement transfer is preferred over high-velocity impeller action.
Chemical / Process
Viscous process liquids only where AISI 316 wetted parts, seal materials, pH and temperature are confirmed as compatible.
When LBX May Not Be the Right Choice
LBX is not a default choice for every liquid. For low-viscosity sanitary transfer, review SCS. For stainless centrifugal process transfer, review SCC. For corrosive chemicals requiring polymer or non-metallic construction, review CPP. For utility water transfer, review CMB. Confirm the duty point before quotation.
Selection Guide
LBX vs Related Shubham Pump Series
The decision is usually based on viscosity, shear sensitivity, hygiene requirement, chemical compatibility and whether a positive displacement or centrifugal pump is the right hydraulic principle.
| Comparison | LBX selection logic | Related series selection logic | Buyer note |
|---|---|---|---|
| LBX vs SCSSCS sanitary centrifugal pump | Viscous, shear-sensitive hygienic or process transfer | Lower-viscosity sanitary centrifugal transfer | Choose LBX when viscosity or product sensitivity makes centrifugal transfer unsuitable. |
| LBX vs SCCSCC stainless steel centrifugal pump | Positive displacement transfer for viscous compatible liquids | Stainless centrifugal process transfer for lower-viscosity duties | Choose SCC for compatible thin process liquids; choose LBX for viscous or shear-sensitive transfer. |
| LBX vs CPPCPP chemical pump | Hygienic AISI 316 lobe transfer where stainless steel is compatible | Corrosive chemical transfer with polymer or non-metallic construction | Choose CPP when chemical compatibility rules out stainless steel wetted parts. |
| LBX vs CMBCMB centrifugal monoblock pump | Viscous, shear-sensitive or hygienic positive displacement duty | Centrifugal monoblock utility transfer | Choose CMB for clear water or utility service, not viscous hygienic product transfer. |

LBX Series Rotary Lobe Pump Questions
What is the maximum viscosity limit for the LBX Series rotary lobe pump?
Shubham LBX data lists viscosity handling up to 100,000 cP. Final selection still depends on the liquid, temperature, flow rate, pressure, suction condition, solids and seal compatibility.
Are LBX Series lobe pumps suitable for CIP and SIP processes?
The verified LBX data states easy-clean CIP or rapid manual cleaning without disconnecting pipework. SIP compatibility is not confirmed in the available repo data and should be confirmed during quotation.
What mechanical seal options are available for the LBX lobe pump?
The available LBX data lists single mechanical seal, double mechanical seal and gland packing options. The correct seal depends on the liquid, viscosity, temperature, cleaning method, leakage tolerance and compatibility requirements.
How does the LBX Series prevent damage to shear-sensitive fluids?
The LBX uses positive displacement rotary lobe action for steady transfer. Shubham data describes the action as positive and uninterrupted with no shear, agitation or aeration, making it suitable for many shear-sensitive liquids after duty confirmation.
When should I choose LBX instead of SCS?
Choose LBX when the liquid is viscous, shear-sensitive or paste-like and needs positive displacement transfer. Choose SCS for lower-viscosity sanitary centrifugal transfer in food, dairy and pharma lines.
What information is needed for an LBX quotation?
Share liquid name, viscosity, flow rate, pressure or head, temperature, pH, solids, suction condition, connection type, seal requirement, cleaning method and quantity so the pump can be sized against the duty point.
Can LBX handle cream, ghee, sauce and syrup?
Cream, ghee, tomato paste, jams, syrups and similar viscous food liquids are listed within LBX application data. Final suitability depends on viscosity, temperature, solids, cleaning method, flow rate and pressure.
Is LBX suitable for shear-sensitive liquids?
Yes, LBX is a suitable candidate for shear-sensitive liquids because verified Shubham data describes positive, uninterrupted action with no shear, agitation or aeration. Confirm the exact duty before ordering.
