GEA Hilge NOVATWIN+ twin screw pumps

GEA has launched a new generation of twin screw pumps for food, beverage and pharmaceutical applications that combine conveying and cleaning functions in one pump. More powerful than its predecessor, the GEA Hilge NOVATWIN+ has a higher flow rate and covers a wider range of applications with a smaller pump, allowing users to reduce their material footprint by 23% and save 10% energy.

With variable speeds of up to 3000 rpm, the self-priming positive displacement pump conveys lumpy, shear-sensitive and abrasive media gently. It can handle liquids with a range of viscosities. As the pump operates almost without pulsation, it is suitable for large and sensitive particles, eg, in the processing of cheese curds, quark, yoghurt and high-protein beverages, as well as plant-based products.

Suitable for the dairy industry, twin screw pumps can serve as CIP pumps because they can be operated at high speeds, and the system pressure of 30 bar also allows for use in high-pressure applications.

Pump maintenance is simplified by the integrated blocking tool for tightening and untightening screws in the gearbox. The patented adjustment directly on the screws does not require oil drainage or complete disassembly of the pump.
