ipp iLobe Customizable Rotary Lobe Pump for Hygienic Applications

Our best pump for chocolate transfer, the ipp iLobe combines all design features from our Premiumlobe pump with an optional integrated heat exchanger for precise temperature control. Ideal for molten chocolate, pralines, pastry and other confectionery applications, the iLobe is precision-engineered to minimize shear damage and maintain robust performance, even for high-viscosity liquids.

This cost-competitive rotary lobe pump maintains contactless running in all applications. To meet strict hygienic standards, the iLobe features clean-in-place (CIP) and sterilize-in-place (SIP) capabilities. It is also fully drainable to maximize product recovery.
