Top Features and Functions:
What all can the versatile Twin Screw Pump do? Take a closer look at a few of its stand-out capabilities and learn why many food/beverage producers are buzzing about it.
The Flexibility of Twin Screw Technology
Although classified as a positive displacement pump, Alfa Laval’s Twin Screw can accomplish so much more. Unlike conventional positive displacement pumps which are primarily used for thick, viscous products, the new Twin Screw by Alfa Laval also has the ability to propel thin material like a centrifugal pump.
Gentle and virtually pulse-free, the Twin Screw is able to convey product through at various speeds for different viscosity liquids. This allows the pump to be utilized in a flexible manner within your production, adding significant value to producers with diverse ingredients, such as:
- Breweries
- Dairy Producers
- Condiment Producers
- Personal Care, etc.
Reliable Engineering with Maintenance in Mind
The Alfa Laval Twin Screw Pump is finely crafted with a hygienic, stainless-steel frame, profiled elastomers, and mechanical seals. Utilizing a robust gearbox design, the pump is calibrated to operate quietly, efficiently, and at a reduced temperature to enhance safety.
There are also very few wear items on the pump. Alfa Laval’s Twin Screw has the ability to run for a very long time and requires very little maintenance.
When maintenance is needed, there are plenty of reasons to appreciate this pump. Alfa Laval’s diligent design provides true front-loading access to the pump’s seal and timing gears for easy servicing.
