In modern hygienic industries – food & beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, brewery, and personal care – reliable, contamination-free product transfer is non-negotiable. Choosing the right pump technology can make the difference between smooth, efficient production and costly downtime. Increasingly, engineers are turning to twin screw technology for its flexibility, hygienic integrity, and ability to handle a wide range of products and processes.
At ITS, we recommend and supply the Alfa Laval OS Twin Screw Pump as our preferred solution for hygienic pumping applications.
The Case for Twin Screw Technology
Traditional pump types, such as rotary lobe or centrifugal, have their place, but they also have limitations. Whereas the twin screw pump technology addresses many of these challenges:
-
Gentle Product Handling: Smooth, continuous flow with low shear, protecting sensitive products such as creams, yoghurts, sauces, and pharmaceutical suspensions.
-
Versatility Across Fluids: Handles low-viscosity CIP fluids, high-viscosity pastes, and everything in between – even aerated products.
-
Hygienic Excellence: Fully cleanable in place (CIP/SIP), with no dead zones and optimised screw geometry to prevent contamination.
-
Bi-directional Flow: Flexible operation with simple line emptying and reduced piping requirements.
-
High Efficiency Under Pressure: Stable performance across wide flow and pressure ranges.
