GEA is launching a new generation of twin screw pumps for food, beverage and pharmaceutical applications that combine both conveying and cleaning functions in one pump. The revamped GEA Hilge NOVATWIN+ is more powerful than its predecessor series and, thanks to its higher flow rate, can cover a wider range of applications with a smaller pump. The new NOVATWIN+ not only reduces material footprint by over 20%, but also saves 10% energy thanks to its improved design.

The GEA Hilge NOVATWIN+ twin screw pump enables production and cleaning operations with only one pump. The low-pulsation pump is particularly suitable for large and sensitive particles, as well as for high-pressure applications due to the 30-bar system pressure. The hygienic design is EHEDG and 3-A certified.

The GEA Hilge NOVATWIN+ screw pump has two screw spindles that interlock without touching and form a closed chamber together with the pump casing. When rotating, the twin screws minimize pulsation while conveying the medium along the screw axes from the suction to the discharge side. With variable speeds of up to 3,000 rpm, the self-priming positive displacement pump gently conveys lumpy, shear-sensitive and abrasive media, and can handle liquids across a 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 plant-based products.

The NOVATWIN+ also features simplified maintenance through the integration of the blocking tool for tightening and untightening screws in the gearbox. This adjustment directly on the screws, eliminates the need for oil drainage or complete disassembly of the pump.
