The Benefits of a Twin Screw Pump: QTS Series by Q Pumps

Posted on by Sara Springer

Do you need a positive displacement pump for your project but aren’t satisfied with how it handles your materials? It’s time to consider a Twin Screw Pump by Q Pumps to improve your manufacturing process and find a solution for your material handling challenges.

What makes a twin screw pump different from other positive displacement pumps? It traps the fluid in a cavity generated by the helical geometry of the twin screw-type rotors. This cavity with fluid is displaced and expelled, generating the pumping action. The rotors are synchronized not to have contact with each other, creating gentle pumping of fluids. These positive displacement pumps are ideal for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and personal hygiene industries.

Want to know more? Here are additional characteristics of Q Pumps® Twin Screw (QTS) pumps:

  • Self Priming. Can expel trapped air both in the suction pipe and inside its body and discharge the liquid to be pumped again, without the need to be primed before washing.
  • Made of 100% stainless steel, wet parts in SS 316L.
  • Speed up to 3,000 rpm (depending on product viscosity).
  • Very tight tolerances for vacuum capacity.
  • 3 types of seals: mechanical, o-ring, & lip.

There are also many advantages of installing a twin screw pump into your system, including the following:

  • Pulsation free.
  • Handling soft suspended solids u to 38mm/1.5″ without damaging them.
  • 100% CIP at high and low speeds.
  • Constant flow, and gentle fluid handling.
  • Self-draining and self-priming.
  • Excellent handling of abrasive products, the rotating movement facilitates the rapid release of trapped solids, thus reducing abrasive wear.
  • No contact between the rotor and casing working at high pressures.
  • Silent.
  • Less chance of cavitation.
  • No dead zones.
  • Bidirectional: reversible, makes possible the recovery of product from the line.

The QTS Pump line by Q Pumps® also meets sanitary standards and has been certified by several global associations. Please get in touch with the manufacturer for full details. Contact SPRINGER PUMPS® today to learn more about Q Pumps’ Twin Screw Pump Line (QTS) or to request a quote.

PREROSTAL AND PREROCLEAN PREROTATION SYSTEM by Hidrostal

Posted on by Sara Springer

The PREROSTAL® and PreroClean™ Prerotation system is a unique, economical, uncomplicated method of automatically adjusting pumping volume to varying inflow rates using a constant speed motor and pump. It combines the screw centrifugal impeller characteristics of a Hidrostal pump with a specially configured vortex-inducing chamber around the suction pipe of the pump. The chamber utilizes gravity to impart a fluid spin in the same direction of rotation as the pump impeller, and this spin produces a flow reduction without the necessity of changing pump speed.  This method of matching pump outflow to pump station inflow eliminates the need for any electrical equipment such as inverter drives. 

In addition, the PREROSTAL system is a highly effective sump cleaning system that does not require any additional mechanical or electrical apparatus such as additional controls of mixers or aerators.  It is the ideal solution for handling variable flow applications with large or troublesome solids. 

The PreroClean™ Self Cleaning Sump is a simplified version of the PREROSTAL and is designed for applications where the primary aim is maintaining clean sumps without the need for flow matching. This option works on the same principles as the PREROSTAL but the weir height and tangential channel dimensions are fixed for each pump size allowing these features and the basin to be molded into a single piece, simplifying the civil construction 

 The PREROSTAL system is proven and cost-effective to the Archimedean screw pump system.  We have successfully replaced numerous installations around the world! 

To request more information on the PREROSTAL® and PreroClean™ Prerotation system by Hidrostal, contact the team at SPRINGER PUMPS® today.
