Tushaco Trochoidal Lobe Pumps

Compact Design with unique trochoidal internal gear pumping element for reliable performance and smooth operation

How does an Internal Lobe Pump or Trochoidal Pump works?

Its working principle can be explained in the following steps:
Rotor Arrangement: The pump consists of an inner rotor and an outer rotor. The inner rotor has one tooth fewer than the outer rotor.
Unique Rotor Design: The RT/RTBP series uses a trochoidal-profile inner rotor and a specially designed outer rotor formed by intersecting circular arcs.
Eccentric Positioning: The inner rotor is positioned off-centre within the outer rotor, and both rotors rotate together.
Suction: As the rotors rotate, the space between them increases, creating a vacuum that draws the fluid into the pump through the suction port.
Fluid Transfer: The fluid gets trapped in the cavities between the rotors and is carried towards the discharge side.
Discharge: As the space between the rotors decreases, the trapped fluid is displaced through the discharge port.

What Are the Key Differences Between RT and RTBP Series?

What are the Key Features and Advantages of Trochoidal Lobe Pumps?

Excellent Suction Capability

Unique pumping principle enables exceptionally high suction lifts with low noise levels.

Pulsation Free Flow

Internal gearing principle with axial flow ensures smooth, continuous and pulsation free fluid delivery.

Compact and Lightweight Design

Eliminates the need for elaborate foundations, simplifying installation.

Easy In Place Maintenance

Single-shaft design allows the pump to be dismantled and serviced without removing it from the baseplate or disconnecting the piping.

Reliable High Speed Operation

A short, rigidly supported shaft with two self-lubricating bearings ensures high-speed operation, low vibration and long service life with minimal maintenance.

High Pumping Efficiency

Precision machined components guarantee high volumetric efficiency and overall efficiency

What are the advantages of TUSHACO RTBP Series Over Standard RT Pumps?

  • Compact Installation

    • Close coupled monoblock design eliminates the need for separate base frames, reducing installation space.

  • Flexible Mounting

    • Can be installed in either horizontal or vertical positions.

  • Simple Foundation Requirements

    • No elaborate foundation is required, making installation easier.

  • No Coupling or Alignment Issues

    • Direct motor mounting eliminates couplings and associated shaft alignment problems

  • Easy Dismantling and Reassembly

    • Fewer components make dismantling, reassembly and servicing straightforward.

  • Lightweight and Portable

    • Compact construction makes handling and installation easier.

  • Simplified Pump Construction

    • Only four major components: pump housing, rear cover, rotor set and mechanical seal, allowing easy dismantling and in-place servicing.
