New Hygienic Twin Screw Pump Eliminates Separate CIP Pump
North Ridge Pumps have now released the HTS - a state-of-theart of hygienic twin screw pump designed to achieve the maximum level of sanitation for food and pharmaceutical market .
The HTS is a versatile unit which eliminates the need for a separate CIP pump due to its ability to operate at high and low speeds – low for process duty , and high for effective CIP cleaning and sanitation .
An innovative range of pumps , it is designed to elevate standards and efficiencies where sanitation is required through elimination of dead zones . The pump head is designed to be completely drainable as standard as opposed to other pump designs where the feature is on request .
Typically positive displacement pumps operate at low speed due to the viscosity of liquids , and particles being transferred meaning a reduced speed is required for effective pumping , decrease of wear and to prevent shear of sensitive liquids .
They usually rely on a separate CIP port to bypass slowly rotating parts for effective cleaning , CIP cleaning can be aggressive to internal rubber parts of pumps which are although resistant to the Caustic and acidic nature of high temperature CIP water – they do breakdown over time causing rubber to powderise .
This unit is suited for a variety of applications for liquids up to 1,000,000 CP due to its gentle pulsation and axial conveying of liquid , ensuring material integrity is maintained . Its high suction capabilities means that a variety of liquids can be processed at up to 5000L / min and 250M head .
Customisation of flow and pressure generating is obtained from a choice of screw pitches which allows for different flow rates , pressure and solid handling especially when combined with a Variable frequency drive for multispeed operation . It can run dry when fitted with flush seals due to the separation of rotors and pump casing .
Manufactured from Stainless Steel 316 the HTS is resistant to corrosion and oxidisation . The rotor and sealing shaft can be supplied with Duplex or Super
At North Ridge Pumps , we ’ re not limited to choosing just one pump design . duplex stainless steel on request , with the screws hardened on request for abrasive applications . Maintenance is easy and efficient thanks to the split casing design for ease of disassembly and inspection port directly above timing gear for set up . A between bearing design with 4 sets of bearings in oil bath ensures extended performance , improved efficiency as well as quiet operation .
It is designed for use in a variety of sanitary industries ranging from dairy , bakery , beverage production , cosmetics , vegetable processing , pharmaceutical , and brewing .
If you have an upcoming requirement and are unsure of the correct solution , speak to North Ridge Pumps to see how we can help .
Due to the HTS Twin Screw pump being of full metal design , it keeps internal rubber parts to minimum , which also eliminates the likelihood of rubber parts contaminating liquids overtime ensuring higher quality end product .
