Rotary Lobe
The sanitary workhorse. Self-priming, gentle on product, viscosity-tolerant. Waukesha Cherry-Burrell Universal 1, 2, 2 ND, 3, and APV R Series — from pilot-scale dosing to 660 GPM transfer.
Explore Rotary Lobe →Triplex Sales has specified, sold, and supported sanitary and industrial pumps for four decades. We stock and supply rotary lobe, centrifugal, twin screw, AODD, and EODD pumps from Waukesha Cherry-Burrell, APV, Wangen, Graco, and Inoxpa — and our application engineers size them in-house, against your actual duty point. From 0.1 GPM dosing to 5,000+ GPM bulk transfer.
Each pump type solves a different class of problem. Rotary lobe for gentle, viscous sanitary transfer. Centrifugal for high-flow low-viscosity duty. Twin screw when one pump has to do CIP and product. AODD for solids-laden or hazardous duty without electric power. EODD when you want the simplicity of a diaphragm pump and the efficiency of an electric drive.

Efficient high-flow pumping on low-viscosity fluids. Sanitary centrifugals from Waukesha Cherry-Burrell and APV — water, beer, wort, juice, CIP loops, and general transfer.
Explore Centrifugal →
One pump does both product transfer and CIP cleaning. Exceptional on shear-sensitive or long-fiber product, pulsation-free flow, high efficiency over a wide viscosity range. We carry Waukesha Cherry-Burrell and WANGEN Twin NG twin screw pumps.
Explore Twin Screw →
Air-operated double-diaphragm. Runs dry, handles solids, intrinsically safe in hazardous atmospheres. Great for drum unloading, waste, chemicals, and intermittent duty. We carry Graco AODD pumps.
Explore AODD →
Electric-operated double-diaphragm. AODD-style flexibility without the compressed-air cost. Up to 80% more efficient than AODD; quieter and easier to integrate into modern plants. We carry Graco EODD pumps (including the Quantm line).
