The industry pump with minimal maintenance time and low operational costs
Rotary lobe pumps of the IQ series for industrial applications

The IQ series is a rotary lobe pump with an innovative concept. The pump chamber is fully integrated in the pump cover and the access to the pumping elements is easy only with a few steps, while the pump remains firmly screwed into the pipeline. That makes maintenance easy and fast. This is an important feature for industry applications, where it is required to minimize maintenance time and operational cost.

The number of central spare parts has been reduced by 50 %. The costs for spare parts are reduced accordingly, and allow further cost savings as the time required for cleaning and replacing parts has been significantly reduced. IQ industry pumps are designed so that less than half the time is required to replace wear parts – including rotary lobes, wear plates, the pump housing and gaskets – compared to rotary lobe pumps that are commonly found on the market.

The compact and space-saving design allows the IQ series to be integrated into any system. They require almost 70 % less space than a progressive cavity pump. Other benefits for industrial applications include the InjectionSystem, the HiFlo® lobes, the Quality Cartridge mechanical seal and their special connectors, ensuring maximum efficiency to the system.

Features of the IQ series

Quality cartridge: The mechanical seal for pumps by Vogelsang
The Vogelsang Quality Cartridge stands for modern sealing technology. The mechanical seal in cartridge design is manufactured automatically in the factory, completely pre-assembled and checked by computer. This makes it quick and easy to change on site: assembly errors are avoided and the time required is reduced. This means quick and easy replacement of the shaft seal as well as safe commissioning after seal replacement.

Additional information:

Unlike conventional lobes, Vogelsang’s HiFlo® lobes ensure pulsation-free pumping and consequently longer lifetimes for the drive and coupling. At the same time, the suction capacity is increased due to the higher number of sealing lines. The improved internal sealing enables suction from deep pits.

Additional information:
Larger lobes and pump covers can be installed in the IQ series
without making any modifications; this can increase capacity by as
much as 40%.
With QuickService, Vogelsang’s rotary lobe pumps are very easy to maintain: The lobes, seal, and wear plates can be replaced on-site without dismounting the pump. This saves money and ensures the highest possible level of equipment availability. Long downtimes are cut to a minimum.

Options of the IQ series

Alongside the standard model in abrasion-resistant gray cast iron, versions in stainless steel are stocked as well. Other options for customization include heat treatment and wear-resistant coatings for the wear plates and housing components.
An ATEX-compliant version can be supplied for use in areas subject to explosion hazards.
