Twin Screw Pumps

Our Twin Screw Pumps feature wear-resistant mechanical seals & a double-chamber design for smooth & pulsation-free flow, offering gentle product transfer of high & low viscosity liquids. Supporting CIP/SIP, these pumps work to mitigate cavitation risks and are available in EHEDG & 3A-compliant versions for enhanced sanitation.

What is a Twin Screw Pump?

Twin Screw Pumps excel in efficiently transferring a specific volume of fluid based on the screws’ speed and pitch. The unique design of a Twin Screw Pump features two screws that create closed chambers that move axially, generating a vacuum at the suction point and pressure at the discharge point. This double-chamber design provides a smooth, pulsation-free flow suited to both high and low-viscosity fluids.

Maintenance Required to Keep your Twin Screw Pumps Running

Visual inspections of the pump’s components to spot any wear or damage
Check the pump’s noise levels; excessive noise may indicate wear problems to gears and bearings, dragging of screws on the pump casing, or cavitation
If a flushing system is present, check the pressure and flow
If a heating/cooling system is present, ensure temperature capabilities are at optimal levels
Oil level in the gearbox

Depending on the size of your pump and the fluid you are pumping, a more detailed maintenance schedule may be required.

Advantages of Twin Screw Pumps

All Tapflo Twin Screw Pumps conform to the highest industry standards, with EHEDG and 3A-compliant executions for enhanced sanitation. Some key benefits of using Twin Screw Pumps are:

Support CIP/SIP functions
Non-contacting running screws that exhibit remarkable wear resistance
Enhanced durability and reduced maintenance requirements
Twin Screw Pumps gently deflect fluid in the direction of rotation allowing for gentle product transfer
Low pulsation characteristics
Wear-resistant mechanical seals
Exceptional priming capabilities
Low NPSH values to mitigate cavitation risks
Handles low and high-viscosity fluids including those entrained with air
Supports suction, feeding, filling, supply, flushing, dosing, loading, and offloading applications
Well-suited to handling solids
Multiple sealing options available including lip seals, single or double mechanical seals
Explosion-proof options available for hazardous environments

Common Industries & Applications

What are your Fluid & Media Transfer Characteristics?

To choose the appropriate Twin Screw Pump for your application, ask yourself the following questions:

What media will be pumped? Consider the chemical composition of the media you will be pumping – is it chemically neutral or corrosive, shear sensitive etc.
What is the viscosity of the media you intend to pump? Consider viscosity limitations, shear sensitivity etc.
Do you need to pump fluids containing solids?
Is your environment or fluid explosive?
Do you require CIP/SIP?
Do you require self-priming capabilities?

Impeller Materials Available

Stainless Steel: Excellent corrosion resistance
Cast Iron: Cost-effective, good corrosion resistance

Some of our materials offer an ATEX option on request for explosive applications and environments.

Additional Factors to Consider

Will your pump be stationary, or do you need it to be portable? If you require portability, Twin Screw Pumps can be fitted to trolleys of any size to suit your needs.
