Tapflo introduces the new series of centrifugal pumps CTX, which are characterized by robust construction, excellent operational reliability, and application flexibility. These pumps have high-quality workmanship, high efficiency, and hydraulic performance.
The modular design of Tapflo’s CTX series centrifugal pumps allows for customization to many applications in various technological processes. Through the interchangeability of parts between different types and sizes, these pumps offer the user high adaptability and, consequently, readiness for operation, as well as accelerating and streamlining the maintenance and technical support process.
A special feature of the CTX pumps is the multi-blade open impeller, which can be adapted to the application requirements while maintaining high pumping efficiency. The impeller design allows for the transport of viscous products, especially those with increased solids content. Another important feature is the double mechanical seal option. The seal is used when there are harsh pump operating conditions, such as high viscosity, solids content, hazardous liquid, or a high percentage of volatile phase. The back-to-back seal is mounted in a separate chamber.
“We started working on the CTX pump design because end-users were missing a high-class centrifugal pump in our offer that would have high efficiency, performance combined with a robust design and an excellent price-performance ratio. To meet this demand, we developed the CTX H pump, which is characterized by low noise, vibration, easy maintenance, and hygienic design. The last two features, combined with knowledge of applications and technological processes, make us a reliable and preferred business partner. CTX H pumps are designed in accordance with national and European machine standards and good motorering practice. From our point of view, hygienic design, quality of workmanship, durability, and high efficiency are key for the user. We want to strengthen Tapflo’s position by building a market for pumps that have all of these features, including reliability,” – explains Mikołaj Laguna-Horodniczy, Global Marketing Manager at Tapflo Group.
Tapflo CTX pumps are available in two versions: hygienic (CTX H) and industrial (CTX I). The pumps are optimized for high efficiency and performance in a wide range of operating conditions across many industries. Tapflo CTX-H is an excellent solution for typical applications in the dairy sector (transporting milk, whey, or yogurt), the beverage industry (transporting juices, aromas), or the fat industry (transporting oil). They also perform excellently in CIP cleaning systems. CTX-I pumps are a good option for demanding chemical and pharmaceutical applications, such as transporting chemicals, intermediates, finished products from reactors, storage tanks, or containers.
“Tapflo CTX H is a fully hygienic and washable centrifugal pump. The shaft seal design eliminates the possibility of direct contact between the pumped liquid and the barrier fluid. The sealing system is compact, service-friendly, maintains high tightness, and is not sensitive to solid inclusions that may be present in the pumped liquid. The CTX series pumps have higher and comparable efficiency and performance compared to similar solutions available on the market, but at a very competitive price. Like all other Tapflo products, our CTX H/I pumps are delivered directly from our factory through our network of sales offices located almost all over the world. In this way, we fulfill orders by reducing delivery times, which is part of our mission.” – says Håkan Ekstrand, CCO (Chief Commercial Officer) at Tapflo Group.
