GEA has launched a new generation of twin screw pumps.
The revamped GEA Hilge NOVATWIN is more powerful than its predecessor series and, thanks to its higher flow rate, covers a wider range of applications with a smaller pump.
Customers not only reduce their material footprint by 23 per cent with the new design, but also save ten percent energy thanks to the improved efficiency.
With variable speeds of up to 3000 rpm, the self-priming positive displacement pump conveys lumpy, shear-sensitive and abrasive media particularly gently.
It can handle liquids with an exceptionally wide range of viscosities.
Since the GEA Hilge NOVATWIN+ operates almost without pulsation, it is also suitable for large and sensitive particles, for example, in the processing of cheese curds, quark, yogurt and high-protein beverages, as well as new in-demand plant-based products.
Stefan Andresen, GEA's product manager for positive displacement pumps, said manufacturers can eliminate the need for an additional CIP pump or even the CIP return pump.
He said the system pressure of 30 bar also allows for use in high-pressure applications making it ideal for the dairy industry.
GEA's pump experts have also simplified the maintenance of the NOVATWIN+ by integrating the blocking tool for tightening and untightening screws in the gearbox.
This patented adjustment directly on the screws does not require oil drainage or complete disassembly of the pump.
