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).

If your question isn't here, call a Triplex Sales application engineer — we size pumps, troubleshoot installs, and ship parts every day.
Triplex facility audits and site surveys help document the pumps already running in your plant, identify recurring seal or sizing issues, flag obsolete or hard-to-support equipment, and uncover opportunities to standardize pumps, elastomers, and spare parts.
The goal is a practical pump action list — repair, replace, resize, rebuild, or stock the right parts before downtime forces the decision.
Give us your fluid, flow, pressure, temperature, and cleaning regime. A Triplex Sales application engineer will confirm the right pump family, specify the configuration, and quote it — typically same day. Four decades of experience, one phone call.
Tell us what you are trying to move, control, heat, cool or replace. We will help narrow the path.
