Dosing with double screw pump

Precise Dosages and Powerful Cleaning in the Food Industry with Twin Screw Pumps

Twin screw pumps are classic process pumps and have proven themselves in countless applications. Up to now, however, they have been considered relatively unsuitable for precise dosing tasks. That is about to change. Thanks to powerful drive technology, they can now be operated in a way that stops the slippage between their feedscrews and enclosure from negatively affecting dosing results. Dripping – for instance, when filling bags with viscous media – is reliably prevented. This new development is especially beneficial for users whose systems are cleaned on a regular basis, because the cleaning processes involved are much simpler in comparison to those of piston pumps. Cleaning is much more efficient and frequent changes of product on the same filling system no longer pose a challenge.

The company’s roots are in the dairy industry. No wonder, then, that these pump specialists have such a focus on applications with strict hygiene requirements. The twin screw pumps from the FDS series are an excellent example. They are made from high-quality stainless steel, easy to clean and are setting a multitude of new benchmarks in twin screw technology.
