Theory of Operation

The Universal Twin Screw delivers axial flow with gentle product handling and the ability to pump shear sensitive fluids with larger particulates in lower pressure applications. 

As the screws mesh together, they form multiple sets of “sealed cavities” which give the pump positive pressure capability to carry product from the inlet to the outlet in a smooth, consistent manner.

Three screw pitch options are available for all model sizes to provide users with a wide selection of pressure and flow rate profiles depending on application and particle size requirements.

Our widest pitch rotor has a smaller helical surface and is used for applications requiring lower pressures and higher flow rates

Our narrow pitch rotor has a larger helical surface and is used when applications require higher pressures and have lower flow rates.  The narrow pitch also provides the most optimal suction capacity.

The mid-range pitch offers a balance in pressure and flow velocities between the larger and smaller screw profiles.
