The GEA Hilge NOVALOBE pump range meets the highest hygienic requirements and is EHEDG certified.
Through the pump’s robust construction the shaft overhang and clearance in the pump have been minimized. The pump’s compact design and the rigid shaft geometry reduce the risk of galling to an absolute minimum. The GEA Hilge NOVALOBE range has thus been designed for a differential pressure of up to 16 bar.
Precision-ground cylinders for the location and accurate connection of rotors and shafts minimize play and reduce vibrations as well as noise.
The rotor housing can be equipped with various rotor profiles. This makes it possible to adapt the GEA Hilge NOVALOBE pump to specific applications for an optimum performance in different conditions.
To accommodate different applications and media, GEA Hilge NOVALOBE pumps are available with different seal types:
The mechanical seals are single inboard seals placed in the optimum position in the pump to ensure outstanding lubrication and cooling. They also comply with the hygienic design criteria in CIP and SIP processes.
Seal face materials are carefully selected to suit the specific media. Standard materials are carbon/silicon carbide with EPDM elastomers (FDA-compliant).
The GEA Hilge NOVALOBE pumps offer extremely reliable operation and gentle product handling. The hygienic design and use of pore-free materials make the pumps suitable for a variety of applications, such as:
Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology and Personal Care
Other Industrial Applications
Positive displacement rotary lobe pumps will continue to build up pressure when operating against a closed valve. With this in mind, it is very important to add in a safety device to prevent accidental over-pressurization and subsequent damage to the pump or system. GEA Hilge NOVALOBE pumps can be equipped with an integrated pressure relief valve to avoid these damages.
Thermal jackets are available for all pump sizes. This option makes it possible to heat the pump chamber and to ensure that products which solidify at ambient temperature are kept liquid. Alternatively, the thermal jackets can be used to cool the pumped media where necessary. Thermal jackets for GEA Hilge NOVALOBE are available for the rotor case and the front cover. Due to the integrated design in the pump, it is a highly efficient system without any compromise in the hygienic design and cleanability.
Combining the benefits of a circulating barrier fluid and double mechanical seals, the aseptic front cover and the double mechanical seal greatly increase safety – ideal where high containment requirements apply.

The Pulse of Global Manufacturing
Resource-efficient fashion has been a long-sought ambition amid the fashion industry’s considerable contributions to global carbon emissions. The need to close the loop by recycling textile fibers into virgin-like materials is higher than ever but seemed like a distant dream until now: Circ, GEA’s American customer and pioneer in the field of textile recycling, might be rewriting the future of the fashion industry.
Alternative proteins are promising – yet still expensive to produce. The usual response is that scaling up will solve this issue. But what if the solution was really about getting better, not just bigger? From more efficient, high-yield processes to upcycling waste heat, engineers are reshaping how we grow food.
As anti-cancer drugs become more powerful and complex, GEA is redefining how to safely freeze-dry these life-saving treatments.
