Two- screw pumps, sometimes referred to as twin-screw or twin spindle, were invented by William Quimby in 1894 and are manufactured by the Warren, Houttuin, and Tushaco divisions.

The fundamental concept of the two-screw pump is the use of two intermeshing screws synchronized by timing gears, thereby permitting the screws to convey a liquid without any metal to metal contact. This unique concept allows the pump to handle virtually any Newtonian or non-Newtonian fluid under a wide variety of conditions, including multiple phases (i.e., gas and solids), elevated temperatures and intermittent dry operation.

    Two-screw pumps are used to pump the following fluids:
    • Crude Oil
    • Long Chain Polymers
    • Chocolate
    • Sea Water
    • Lubricating Oils
    • Adhesives
    • Explosives
    • Naphtha

With a capacity range of up to 12000 gpm (2750m³/hr) and pressure ranges up to 1500 psi (104 bar) the two-screw pump offers a solution to challenging applications where other positive displacement pumps cannot.
