Twin-screw pump
20 July 2017
AxFlow has introduced the Waukesha Universal TS ‘twin-screw’ rotary positive displacement pump to its portfolio.

This Universal TS pump exploits the benefits of Waukesha Alloy 88 non-galling material twin screws to pump various media containing large particulates, thereby lowering damage to the pump and reducing maintenance. Users also benefit from the pump’s high suction capability and wide range of operating speeds which means that only one pump is required to transfer product and undertake CIP. This removes the number of pumps, valves and control instrumentation, thus contributing to reduced costs and simpler, more compact systems.
As a result of the twin screws’ rotating geometry, a pulse-free flow is created making the pump suitable for many applications such as feeding homogenisers.
The meshing screws have identical rear and front profiles giving bi-directional flows which enable easy media transfer between vessels without alteration to the pump set-up. Front loaded access to product side seals makes for easy maintenance and reduced downtime.
The Universal TS is available in four models each with three screw pitch options, and delivers flows of up to 4,618lt/min and has a pressure range up to 25bar.
