Twin screw pumps are predestinated by their operation mode and the construction for low shearing and smooth handling of sensitive products. The axial transport, without changing direction, as well as the non-contacting intermeshing screws, provide optimum results.
The only positive displacement pump which is able to run as fast as a centrifugal pump.
It combines the advantages of the well-known PD pumps with the advantages of centrifugal pumps.
