Frequently Asked Questions
Unibloc® pumps deliver flow rates ranging from 5 to 1,200 gallons per minute, depending on the model and series selected. The maximum flow rate of a Unibloc pump depends on the specific application, involving factors such as product viscosity, temperature, and internal friction of the system. Flow rate capabilities vary by pump type: our gear pumps excel in lower, controlled flows, while our Unibloc rotary lobe pumps provide high-volume transfer, even for delicate items like strawberries or large items such as chicken breasts. Our engineering team can help you select the right Unibloc pump configuration to match your exact flow rate needs while lowering your total cost of ownership.
Calculating the maximum flow rate of a Unibloc pump involves understanding displacement volume and operating speed. Start by identifying your pump's displacement per revolution, which is specified in our technical documentation for each model. Multiply this displacement by the maximum recommended RPM for your pump series to determine the theoretical maximum flow. However, actual flow rates depend on several factors: product viscosity, system pressure, temperature, and suction conditions, all of which affect performance. For viscous products, flow rates may decrease as the pump works against greater resistance. Our engineering team recommends operating Unibloc pumps within 80-85% of maximum capacity for optimal efficiency and longevity. This approach balances productivity with reduced wear on components.
Contact our application engineers with your specific product characteristics and processing requirements, and we'll calculate the ideal flow rate and pump configuration for your operation, ensuring reliable performance and minimizing total cost of ownership.
The total cost of ownership for Unibloc pumps is significantly lower than competitive alternatives, thanks to our QuickStrip® technology. While initial purchase price matters, smart operators also consider maintenance costs, downtime expenses, energy consumption, and service life. Our patented QuickStrip design reduces maintenance time by up to 67%—technicians can strip and clean a lobe pump in 20 minutes versus an hour for traditional designs. Tool-free disassembly and one-way reassembly eliminate costly errors and speed up cleaning cycles. Our Safety Swing Arm reduces injury risk and workers’ compensation costs. Fewer parts mean fewer replacements and lower inventory costs. When downtime may cost thousands of dollars per hour, Unibloc pumps’ proven reliability and cost-saving design deliver substantial TCO savings that far exceed any initial price difference.

Every minute of processing downtime costs money, and with maintenance teams stretched thin, lost hours are a luxury most processors can't afford. Traditional air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps can take two hours or more to strip down for cleaning, so every minute of maintenance time reduced represents added capacity and productivity for the team. The Flotronic® One-Nut® AODD+™ pump from Unibloc® Hygienic Technologies does that two-hour job in just 15 minutes—cutting downtime by up to 85% and freeing scarce labor for other higher-value tasks. Wondering how that’s possible? The new Flotronic AODD+ Sanitary Solutions Applications Sourcebook captures real-world case studies showing how manufacturers worldwide have turned that time savings into major cost reductions, improved food safety, and greater operational efficiency.
