TORNADO® Rotary Lobe Pump
High Performance Rotary Lobe Pump with maximum operational reliability

Assembling of the TORNADO® Rotary Lobe pump
Stability
The best maintenance is no maintenance
We have perfected the rotary lobe pump concept by incorporating the tried, tested and proven NETZSCH core competence in the design and manufacture of engineered rubber solutions for the new TORNADO® T2. During the entire pumping cycle only elastomer and metal component surfaces interface within the pump; elastomer to elastomer component surface interfaces, which suffer from excess wear and generate heat, are completely eliminated. Having these dissimilar materials for the static and dynamic pump head components, the elastomeric surfaces are subjected to a lower dynamic loading resulting in less plastic deformation and stress which in turn reduces wear and extends operational life. The use of high quality sealed for life bearings, selected for their load carrying characteristics and long life, combined with the tooth belt drive result in a drive train that can be considered maintenance-free.
Compactness
Efficiency in the smallest space
Smaller overall dimensions and the innovative design concept of incorpo¬rating a timing tooth belt to both synchronise and drive means reduced space is required for both installation and in place servicing representing a cost saving in terms of site utilisation.
Operational of safety
From GSS1 to BSS2
The proven physical separation between pump chamber and bearing housing guarantees absolute operational safety.
Ease of Service
"Full Service In Place" instead of "Maintenance In Place"
The innovative design of the TORNADO® T2 provides quick and easy access to the pump chamber, including the inlet and outlet ports, by simply removing the cover plate. This provides improved access for inspection, cleaning, service and replacing parts. The service-friendly design of the tooth belt drive means that, should it be necessary, the belt is easy and quick to replace. Benefits of the tooth belt drive system are accuracy of synchronization, elimination of timing gears and oil lubrication, less heat generation and quieter operation.
