What is the working principle of a Twin Screw Pump?

A twin screw pump operates on the principle of positive displacement, meaning it transfers a specific volume of product based on the speed and pitch of the screws. As the two screws rotate, they form closed chambers that move in an axial direction. This movement creates a vacuum at the inlet side and generates pressure at the outlet. The design of the twin screw pump enables nearly pulsation-free operation, making it suitable for handling both high and low viscosity products. Additionally, the pump's ability to operate over a wide speed range allows for versatile applications, including the pumping of structure-sensitive products, fluids with solids, and the delivery of pulsation-free flow. Furthermore, twin screw pumps are known for their high suction performance and self-priming capabilities, making them ideal for a range of hygienic and industrial applications.

Why choose a Twin-Screw Pump?

Versatility: Twin-screw pumps can operate over a wide speed range, allowing them to serve a dual function in hygienic applications by pumping products at low speeds and CIP (clean-in-place) fluids at high speeds. This eliminates the need for an additional CIP pump.

Pulsation-Free Flow: These pumps deliver a nearly pulsation-free flow, making them suitable for handling low-viscosity products, volatile and gaseous fluids, and applications where a smooth, consistent flow is essential.

Self-Priming Capability: Twin-screw pumps can create a high vacuum, enabling them to be self-priming, which is advantageous in various pumping scenarios.

Hygienic Specifications: The design of twin-screw pumps, such as the Packo twin-screw pump, conforms to the highest hygienic standards, such as EHEDG and 3A, making them ideal for delicate hygienic applications.

Operational Efficiency: These pumps offer simple and easy maintenance with low service costs, as well as integral geared adaptors that can be directly coupled with motors, enhancing operational efficiency.

Solids Handling: Twin-screw pumps are capable of handling fluids containing solids, adding to their versatility in industrial applications.
