What is a Twin Screw Pump?

Twin Screw Pumps efficiently transfer a specific volume of fluid based on the screws’ speed and pitch. This pump’s unique design 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 smooth, low-pulsation flow for both high- and low-viscosity fluids.

What are the advantages of Twin Screw Pumps?

Our pumps meet the highest industry standards, with EHEDG- and 3A-compliant designs for enhanced sanitation. Some key benefits of using Twin Screw Pumps are:

 

  • EHEDG- and 3A-compliant
  • Support CIP/SIP functions
  • Non-contacting running screws that exhibit remarkable wear resistance
  • Enhanced durability and reduced maintenance requirements
  • 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 and single or double mechanical seals
  • ATEX-approved options available for hazardous environments

What are the common applications and industries for Twin Screw Pumps?

Common applications and industries include:

 

  • Food & Beverage
  • Cosmetics
  • Pharmaceutical
  • Chemical

What to consider when selecting a Twin Screw Pump

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?
  • Will your pump be stationary, or do you need it to be portable?

What materials are Twin Screw Pumps constructed from?

Twin Screw Pump body is constructed mostly from Stainless Steel AISI 316 & 630, which provide excellent corrosion resistance

 

What maintenance is required to keep your Twin Screw Pump running?

Some things that can help your pump perform in good working order are:

 

  • 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.

What certifications do these Twin Screw Pumps have?

The PDSP Sanitary Twin Screw Pump by Pomac Pumps is 3A comliant and EHEDG compliant, whereas the Hygienic Twin Screw Pump by Nova Rotors is 3A certified and EHEDG compliant.
