Rotary lobe pump VY series

beveragefor food productsfor wine

Overview
Vogelsang rotary-lobe wine pumps are engineered for gentle, reliable handling across winemaking processes: tank transfers, cooling, blending, racking and bottling of still and sparkling wines. The pump conveys wine with minimal agitation and low oxygen pickup while providing a constant, pulsation-free flow. Compact, quiet and able to handle viscous fluids and moderate solids, the VY series suits both mobile and fixed installations in wineries.

Key benefits

• Gentle transfer of grapes and wine without agitation or foam formation
• Reduced oxygen uptake to preserve sensory quality
• Self-priming capability and operation possible under dry conditions
• Pulsation-free, constant flow for sensitive processes
• QuickService design for fast on-site maintenance and low downtime

Models

• VY100 — smallest model; capacity approx. 15–300 hl/h; standard pressure up to 6 bar; mobile version available; suited for wine, liquid must or destemmed grapes without rasp; QuickService design for fast, simple maintenance.
• VY136 — versatile model; capacity approx. 60–800 hl/h; standard pressure up to 6 bar; ideal as main pump for medium-size wineries; can handle whole grapes, must, lees or pomace; suitable for fixed installations for tasks such as bottling or cooling.

Additional information
VY pumps are self-priming up to approximately 9 m and can operate under dry conditions in many configurations. Certain configurations allow operation at higher pressures (up to around 10 bar). Pumps can run bidirectionally and convey solids up to approx. 40 mm. Their compact, lighter design compared with conventional pumps enables installation in tight or hard-to-reach areas.
