Product Description

The Sanitary Twin Screw Pump is a high-performance hygienic positive displacement pump featuring two intermeshing screws that deliver pulsation-free, gentle product transfer. Its unique design allows it to function as both a process pump and a CIP (Clean-in-Place) pump, eliminating the need for separate CIP pumps in hygienic processing systems.

Constructed in AISI SS316L (1.4404) stainless steel with precision-machined screws and hygienic double mechanical seals, this pump meets the highest standards of food and pharmaceutical hygiene. The wide speed range (10-3,500 rpm) enables it to handle both low-flow, high-viscosity product transfer and high-flow CIP cleaning with a single pump.

Applications

  • Food & Beverage: sauces, pastes, fruit preparations, syrups, chocolate, confectionery
  • Dairy: milk, cream, yogurt, cheese, ice cream mix, infant formula
  • Pharmaceutical: active ingredients, proteins, immunoglobulins, blood products, suspensions
  • Cosmetics: creams, lotions, emulsions, shampoos
  • Brewery: beer, wort, yeast, hop extracts
  • CIP Systems: serves as both process pump and CIP return/supply pump

Quality Assurance

All Sanitary Twin Screw Pumps are manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management system with full material traceability. Each pump undergoes hydrostatic pressure testing, performance verification, surface finish inspection (Ra ≤ 0.5 μm), and material certification (EN 10204 3.1). Comprehensive documentation including test protocols, GA drawings, and maintenance manuals is provided with every shipment.

Why Choose Our Positive Displacement Pumps

Dual Function: Process + CIP Pump

Wide speed range (10-3,500 rpm) allows one pump to handle both product transfer and CIP cleaning, reducing equipment count and system complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sanitary twin screw pump?

A sanitary twin screw pump is a hygienic positive displacement pump that uses two intermeshing screws to transfer fluid. It provides pulsation-free, gentle handling and is unique in that it can serve as both a process pump for product transfer and a CIP pump for cleaning, eliminating the need for separate pumps.

How is a twin screw pump different from a single screw pump?

Twin screw pumps use two intermeshing screws instead of a rotor-stator combination. They offer wider speed ranges (up to 3,500 rpm), can handle both low and high viscosity fluids, and can double as CIP pumps. Single screw pumps use an elastomer stator that wears and is better suited for very high viscosity and solid-laden media.

Can a twin screw pump handle CIP cleaning?

Yes, this is one of the key advantages of twin screw pumps. Their wide speed range allows them to operate at high speeds for CIP flow rates and low speeds for product transfer, making them suitable as combined process/CIP pumps in hygienic systems.

What is the temperature range for sanitary twin screw pumps?

Sanitary twin screw pumps typically operate from -40°C to 150°C, making them suitable for both cold product transfer (e.g., ice cream mix) and hot processes (e.g., hot fill, sterilization).

Are twin screw pumps suitable for shear-sensitive products?

Yes, twin screw pumps provide gentle, pulsation-free transfer with minimal shear, making them suitable for shear-sensitive products like yogurt, cream, proteins, and pharmaceutical suspensions.

Selection Guide

✅ When to Choose This Pump

  • High viscosity fluids (above 500 cP)
  • Hygienic food and beverage products
  • Precision metering and dosing
  • Shear-sensitive products

⚠️ When NOT to Choose

  • Large volume low-viscosity transfer
  • Abrasive slurries with large particles
  • High-pressure water injection
  • Applications requiring variable flow at constant speed

💡 Common Selection Mistakes

  • Not installing pressure relief valve
  • Running at too high speed for viscosity
  • Ignoring shear sensitivity of product
  • Not considering pulsation dampening
