Alfa Laval Twin screw

Positive displacement pumps

Introduction
The Alfa Laval Twin Screw Pump combines process duties
typically handled by positive displacement with Cleaning-in-
Place (CIP) duties typically handled by centrifugal pumps. This
provides a robust and reliable platform that offers greater
process flexibility.

Designed for process flexibility, the Alfa Laval Twin Screw

Pump is built on a robust, reliable platform that meets
stringent hygienic standards. It is capable of handling both
product transfer and CIP. Its low pulsation characteristics and
excellent solids-handling capability reduce the risk of product
damage, thereby improving product quality.

The pump is designed according to the most stringent

hygienic design standards and with verified, effective CIP.

Applications
Designed for handling sensitive, abrasive and high and low
viscosity fluids, the Alfa Laval Twin Screw Pump is ideal for
use in hygienic applications across the dairy, food, beverage,
and home and personal care industries. Quiet and virtually
pulse-free, the pump provides smooth and gentle operation,
making it an excellent choice for handling sensitive products. Standard design
