Rotary lobe pump FX series

slurryself-primingmobile

Overview
The FX series by Vogelsang (FarmerPump) is a rotary lobe pump designed for agricultural liquid manure. It provides self-priming operation, high tolerance to fibrous and solid particles, and is available for permanent installation or as a PTO-driven mobile unit.

Key features

• Integrated oil circulation lubrication eliminates manual lubrication
• Industrial block-ring mechanical seal for improved resistance to fibres
• Self-priming and tolerant to foreign bodies
• Smooth, quiet operation due to optimized lobe design
• Lower energy consumption thanks to the rotating separation plate

Features and options (details)

• Oil circulation lubrication: Gearbox-mounted oil pump supplies all seals evenly, reducing maintenance effort.
• Rotating separation plate: Prevents fibre accumulation between lobes to maintain pump performance and reduce fuel/electric consumption.
• Block ring mechanical seal: Industry-standard block-ring seals increase resistance to fibres and extend service life compared with conventional seals.
• Axial wear plates: Wear plates in high-resistance special steel extend maintenance intervals and protect the pump chamber.
• Materials and housings: Standard abrasion-resistant gray cast iron; options available in ADI and stainless steel; duplex and nickel-base alloys on request; heat treatments and wear coatings available.
• Lobe types and materials: Wide selection of geometries and compounds (NBR, white NBR, EPDM variants, CSM, FKM, PU, stainless steel, nitrided steel); geometries include straight, 2/3/4/6-wing and HiFlo pulsation-free designs.
• Installation and drive: Suitable for permanent installation or mobile units on three-point mount; compatible with PTO drive.

Applications
Designed for professional pumping of liquid manure and similar agricultural effluents where fibre content and reliable, low-maintenance operation are required. Suitable for farmers and agricultural contractors.
