GEA Launches New Twin-screw Pumps for Hygienic Applications

The GEA Hilge Novatwin hygienic, stainless-steel twin-screw pump, part of the GEA Varipump line, is now available in six sizes. GEA says the pump can be used for pharmaceutical products including nutraceuticals, blood products, vaccines, enzymes, and cell cultures.To get more news about MONO pump Accessories, you can visit hw-screwpump.com official website.

Twin-screw pumps are positive displacement pumps and offer gentle conveyance of shear-sensitive and abrasive media; they can also pump liquids of different viscosities. The pumps can also be operated at high speeds for functioning as a clean-in-place (CIP) pump.

According to the press release, the self-priming GEA Hilge Novatwin enables safe operation with low pulsation and low noise levels at high product viscosities, temperatures up to 135 °C, and differential pressures up to 25 bar. The system pressure of 30 bar also allows the pump to be used in high-pressure applications. The pump handles both sensitive, viscous media at low speed and cleaning media in the CIP process at up to 3000 rpm.
Thanks to the High-Efficiency Unique Design (HEUD), a performance-optimized shape, NOTOS® multi screw pumps in industrial design offer smooth and gentle pumping with high performance at the same time. Precise tolerances and an optimized spindle profile ensure long service life and low life cycle costs. Since the pumps are hydraulically balanced, no axial forces act on the ball bearing. As a result, the bearings are subjected to much less stress, and the maintenance effort of the pump is significantly minimized. This saves money and time for you.

In addition to the well-known advantages, the hygienic design of the model is convincing in applications where an almost sterile atmosphere is necessary. This mainly includes the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. The model is made of stainless steel and polished according to international standards so that the pumped medium cannot adhere to it. This makes it particularly easy to clean. The pump is suitable for the CIP process (Cleaning-In-Place) and the SIP process (Sterilization-In-Place). In the CIP process, it functions as a transfer and cleaning pump at the same time. This means that you no longer need an additional cleaning pump. In addition, the model has been designed without dead space. Angles and corners that are difficult to reach have been avoided. Therefore, nothing hinders easy cleaning. The last significant advantage is the FSIP® concept (Full Service in Place) of the hygienic version. The concept enables full service and maintenance in the system. Thus, there are no time-consuming and cost-intensive downtimes for you.
