The premium pump series from Tapflo with superior performance. Thanks to the robust construction and a compact and reliable design, centrifugal high performance pumps CTX assure long term failure-free operation thus short downtimes.
CTX-I industrial series
The premium pump series from Tapflo with superior performance. Thanks to the robust construction and a compact and reliable design, centrifugal high performance pumps CTX assure long term failure-free operation thus short downtimes.
CTI industrial pumps
The CT pumps are open or semi open impeller single stage centrifugal pumps. They are manufactured in high finish and mechanically strong material - AISI 316L stainless steel. The pump range meets the demands from a variety of today’s industries.
CTH hygienic pumps
The CT pumps are open or semi open impeller single stage centrifugal pumps. They are manufactured in high finish and mechanically strong material - AISI 316L stainless steel. The pump range meets the demands from a variety of today’s industries.
CTM Magnetic drive pumps
CTM pumps are used in most industries where liquids are pumped. The pumps handle many types of low and normal viscous clean liquids such as chemical aggressive and toxic.
CTV Vertical Pumps
CTV is a single stage vertical centrifugal pump that is simple but very reliable in duty. The pump is specialized for transfer and circulation of various liquids from containers, sumps and tanks.
CTS self-priming pumps
CTS is an open impeller self-priming centrifugal pump, manufactured from AISI 316L stainless steel.The self-priming feature allows to use the pump in applications where standard CT pumps do not prove useful.
CTXS self-priming high performance pumps
Thanks to its self-priming capability, the pump can be used in situations where a dry suction lift is necessary. As the standard CTX pump is not capable of generating negative pressure, by a simple modification, we can allow the pump to lift the liquid from up to 5 m.
CTP Plastic pumps
The CTP pumps are semi open single stage centrifugal pumps. Since there are no metal parts on the liquid side, the pumps are ideal for chemicals transfer and circulation in surface treatment industries.
FAQ
What is a centrifugal pump?
A centrifugal pump is a mechanical device that uses a rotating impeller to create flow inside the pump volute thus increasing pressure of the fluid, typically used for transferring liquids in various industries.
How does a centrifugal pump work?
Centrifugal pumps work on the principle of converting mechanical energy from the impeller's rotation into kinetic energy and then into potential energy to move the fluid through the pump and into the discharge pipe.
What are the main components of a centrifugal pump?
The main components of a centrifugal pump include the impeller, casing, suction and discharge ports, shaft, bearings, and mechanical seals.
What are the different types of centrifugal pumps?
Centrifugal pumps can be categorized into various types based on their design, such as hygienic pumps, industrial pumps, vertical pumps, magnetic pumps, self-priming pumps, and plastic pumps, each serving specific applications.
What are the advantages of using centrifugal pumps?
Centrifugal pumps offer high efficiency, easy installation, low maintenance, and the ability to handle large flow rates within reasonable pump sizing, making them popular for a wide range of fluid transfer applications.
Are centrifugal pumps self-priming?
Not all centrifugal pumps are self-priming. Self-priming centrifugal pumps have a unique design that allows them to draw fluid into the pump without the need for external priming.
Can centrifugal pumps handle abrasive fluids?
Centrifugal pumps are generally not well-suited for handling abrasive fluids as the impeller and casing may wear quickly. For abrasive applications, specialized pumps like slurry pumps are more suitable. It is also advisable to run the pump at lower rpm to decrease the negative effect of the abrasive liquid on the pump components.
How do I choose the right centrifugal pump for my application?
When selecting a centrifugal pump, consider factors such as flow rate, head, fluid properties, temperature, and compatibility with the application to ensure optimal performance.
How can I maintain a centrifugal pump for maximum efficiency?
Regular maintenance, including inspection and cleaning, is essential to ensure the pump's longevity and efficiency. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance guidelines and schedule.
Can a centrifugal pump handle high-viscosity fluids?
Centrifugal pumps are generally more suitable for low to medium viscosity fluids. For high-viscosity fluids, positive displacement pumps like hose pumps or screw pumps are often preferred.
