In the world of cosmetic, personal care, pharmaceutical, and chemical product processing, finding the perfect pump can feel like searching for your soulmate—you'll know it when you see it. Most industrial pumps demand constant attention, causing heartbreak when they inevitably let you down. At Unibloc® Hygienic Technologies, we've been listening. Introducing Unibloc® CleanPlus: a relationship designed to last, eliminate drama, and deliver the reliability you’ve been searching for. Our Unibloc CleanPlus line of hygienic lobe pumps offers smooth, dependable performance that keeps your operation running like a dream.
Unibloc CleanPlus pumps: Reducing operating costs through four design innovations:
- Bolt-free rotors eliminate damage from improper torquing.
- All-stainless construction prevents plastic from wearing into the process.
- FlushCap bearings enable CIP processes while stabilizing rotors.
- QuickStrip® design slashes cleaning time from hours to minutes.
Say goodbye to rotor bolt nightmares.
Let's talk rotor bolts—the seemingly innocent components that cause disproportionate damage.
Consider this scenario: A maintenance technician rushes through a routine cleaning, overtightens a rotor bolt, and unknowingly creates a cascade of problems—crushed sleeves, deflected shafts, and, eventually, messy leaks. Or worse, they leave rotor bolts too loose, allowing them to back out completely during operation, causing noisy, catastrophic pump failure and downtime.
Sound familiar? You're not alone.
Fortunately, our Unibloc CleanPlus industrial pumps feature an innovative bolt-free rotor design. No more training sessions on proper torquing procedures. No more middle-of-the-night emergency calls because a rotor bolt backed out and destroyed a pump housing. No more production delays while waiting for replacement parts or even a costly new pump.
This isn't experimental technology—our bolt-free design has been battle-tested in thousands of installations. The Unibloc CleanPlus pump line is just the latest to utilize it.
Ensure product purity with all-stainless construction.
In pharmaceutical, biotech, and cosmetic applications, product contamination can mean scrapping entire batches worth thousands or even millions of dollars.
According to pharmaceutical industry experts1, PTFE (Teflon) particulate contamination from equipment failure is one of the causes of product recalls, attracting regulatory scrutiny and damaging a company’s reputation.
In most cases, this contamination remains invisible until late in the production process or, worse, after product release.
CleanPlus industrial pumps feature stainless-steel rotors, eliminating the risk of plastic particulates from the rotors entering your process.
Transform the cleaning process with QuickStrip design
For applications where pumps are cleaned in line, our patented FlushCap bearing stabilizes the rotors while ensuring full Clean-in-Place (CIP) compatibility. This design maintains the highest standards of hygiene without compromising support for the shaft needed to prevent deflection under pressure spikes.
To ensure CIP processes are effective, CleanPlus pump rotors, like their pump housings, are milled from a single billet of steel, eliminating seams or weld transitions where bacteria or product hide.
However, when processing highly viscous products, managers know that even the best CIP systems have limitations. That's when manual cleaning becomes necessary—and where traditional pump designs show their age.
Most maintenance crews can relate to the frustration of spending hours disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling pumps. It's tedious, time-consuming work that pulls skilled technicians away from other critical tasks.
Our proprietary QuickStrip® design transforms this process entirely.
- Unibloc CleanPlus lobe pumps can be disassembled without tools in minutes rather than hours—reducing manual cleaning times from two hours to just 20 minutes. That's not an incremental improvement; it's a welcome change that lets maintenance crews focus on more important work.
- We've engineered pump components for one-way reassembly, making it physically impossible for workers to reassemble the pump incorrectly—a common source of damage with conventional pump designs.
Let technology lower the total cost of ownership.
When evaluating hygienic industrial pumps, the purchase price is just the beginning. The true cost includes maintenance hours, downtime, replacement parts, and risk to product quality.
Join the thousands of processing plants and fleet operators who have fallen in love with the way Unibloc hygienic pumps lower their total cost of ownership.
