   Rotary Pumps Commonly used in pharmaceutical
plants to move highly-viscous fluids while
conforming to specific sanitary
requirements.        Rotary Lobe Pumps These
pumps are used for their ability to handle solids
without damaging the product. They're often used
in processes that require gentle
handling.        Viking Pumps Viking is known
for its reliable and efficient pump solutions.
They offer various types of pumps, including
internal and external gear pumps, which are
widely used in industries including the
pharmaceutical industry.

Cross-Contamination The design of these pumps
helps prevent cross-contamination, a critical
aspect of pharmaceutical processes.
6
    Damage Prevention They are designed to
prevent damage due to shear forces, ensuring the
integrity of sensitive fluids like live
cells.        Hygienic Design Pharmaceutical
pumps are designed with hygiene as a priority.
The more hygienically the pump is designed, the
shorter the cleaning and sanitation times.
7
    Regulatory Compliance These pumps are
subject to a wide range of international laws,
regulations, and guidelines. They must guarantee
the maximum level of microbiological safety for
the entire production process.        Efficiency 
Pharmaceutical pumps help ensure that the
production process is efficient, safe, and
cost-effective. Pharmaceutical pumps play a
crucial role in ensuring that medicinal fluids
are handled in a safe, efficient, and hygienic
manner, making them a lifeline in the industry.

cleanliness, ease of validation, scalability, and
versatility.
11
The Precision and Efficiency of Rotary Lobe
Pumps in Pharmaceutical Applications Rotary Lobe
Pumps are known for their precision and
efficiency in pharmaceutical applications. Here's
how        High-Precision Rotors The
high-precision rotors of rotary lobe pumps make
them ideal for handling sensitive process fluids
in hygienic, high-purity applications. This
precision ensures that the pump can handle the
fluid without causing damage or unnecessary shear
forces.
12
    Low-Shear Operation Rotary lobe
pumps operate with low shear, making them
suitable for handling sensitive materials such as
proteins and cells. This gentle handling is
crucial in pharmaceutical applications where
maintaining the integrity of the process fluid is
paramount.       Efficient Pumping Rotary lobe
pumps are efficient at pumping low, medium, and
high-viscosity fluids. This versatility allows
them to be used in a wide range of pharmaceutical
applications.
13
 Reliability These pumps are designed for easy
maintenance and a long service life, ensuring
reliable performance and minimal unplanned
production stops. This reliability is crucial in
the pharmaceutical industry, where any downtime
can have significant implications.
14
Compliance with Standards Rotary lobe
pumps comply with hygienic standards for general,
food-grade, and pharmaceutical processing
requirements. This compliance ensures that they
meet the stringent regulatory requirements of the
pharmaceutical industry. The precision and
efficiency of rotary lobe pumps make them an
excellent choice for pharmaceutical applications,
ensuring reliable, hygienic, and gentle handling
of process fluids.
