Product features

The TopGear (TG) series is a combination of solid construction with small or large clearances and a unique tooth profile on the driving gear. TG GM series pumps are one of the most versatile internal gear pumps available on the market. Their main prices are a combination of solid construction, flexibility in the selection of clearances, a unique shape of the interdental spaces and a wide range of material designs and additional options, such as a heating jacket, overflow valves or electric heating.

TG GM series pumps are characterized by a simple operating principle, in which the liquid flows through the pump evenly with small pulsations. They are characterized by low energy consumption and a high level of hydraulic efficiency, as well as the possibility of precise capacity regulation. These pumps can also have a reversed flow direction. Most models of the TG G series have been designed in such a way that they can operate at the normal rotational speed of an electric motor with a frequency of 50 Hz – this allows for the use of direct drive. The modular design based on many variants and options allows for perfect adaptation of the pump to a specific application.

The TG GM series also has a very wide selection of shaft seals – packed gland packing seal, single or double mechanical seal, single or double cartridge mechanical seal and triple cartridge lip seal.

Pomps in this series were created for demanding applications. They handle medium to high viscosity media and high temperature liquids perfectly. TopGear series pumps are self-priming and used in many industries, such as: food, chemical, paint, paper, and construction.

High performance – the pump design of this series features axial rotor locking, adjustable clearances and a balanced hydraulic design. The TG GM series is characterized by high permissible torque and a single clearance class enabling very good overall efficiency.
10 sizes – a range of models with maximum performance up to 130 m³/h and 16 bar pressure, allowing the pump to be tailored to the customer’s specific requirements.
Better Flooding – Oversized ports for improved performance, located above the pump centerline. This translates to a lower required NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head required).
Designed for low or high viscosity media – unimpeded flow thanks to the optimized tooth profile on the drive gear.
No leaks due to thermal expansion – positive seal and pinion plug with cover.
Thoughtful design – based on two ball bearings with adjustable axial clearance and optional belt drive. Pumps in this series are able to withstand greater permissible axial forces.
Easy maintenance – possibility of disassembly and access to the pump both from the front and from the rear. Simple construction and shorter service downtimes.
Many material options – various bearing and hydraulic part designs available.
Extended service life – compact rotor, durable shafts, optimal bearing design, choice of hard metal bearings, vented sealing area thanks to bleed channel.
Various connection options – compliant with EN or ANSI.
Explosion-proof design – compliant with ATEX Directive, category II 2G.

Operation principle

Operating principle of SPX Johnson TopGear gear pumps

The rotor and pinion rotate and mesh with each other. This creates sealed chambers with variable volume, resulting in a vacuum that forces the medium to flow into these spaces. The liquid is transported in the chambers from the suction side to the discharge side. The spaces are separated from each other by an element that prevents the liquid from returning to the suction side. The medium is pumped to the discharge side as a result of the reduction in the volume of the interdental spaces.

	Pump housing with integrated feet and in-line ports The pump housing can remain installed in the piping system during rotor and shaft seal inspection and repair.
	Front Access Module The entire front (pinion, cover and pinion shaft) can be removed for easy internal inspection and repair.
	Back access module The rotor with shaft, intermediate housing with rotor bearing, shaft seal and bearing bracket can be removed for easy inspection, repair and shaft seal replacement.

Operating principle of pressure relief valves

The relief valves used in the TGGM series are spring-loaded valves that open abruptly when the operating pressure rises to the set pressure value for which the spring is pre-set. These valves limit the differential pressure (∆p) (or operating pressure) between suction and discharge, not the maximum pressure in the system. If the liquid cannot escape when the pump’s discharge side is blocked, overpressure can cause serious damage to the pump. The relief valve provides an escape route by directing the media back to the suction side once a certain pressure level is reached. An open relief valve signals that the system is not operating correctly.

Due to changes in the way we think about our impact on the environment, we are proud to present EODD – Electric Diaphragm Pumps. The product follows a modern approach but is still based on the original diaphragm pump technology, which has proven to be very effective. We consulted with our customers, who expressed a need for the features and benefits of a traditional diaphragm pump, but with the added advantage of lower operating costs. The pump is powered by a high-efficiency electric motor (IE3 class) and there is no chance of hydraulic fluid leakage, as the pump simply does not need it.

A Filter Press Pump is a specialized type of pump designed to fill a filter press with a slurry or suspension from an external storage or disposal facility, typically used in solid-liquid separation processes, typically at high pressures reaching 24 bar.

Tapflo Filter Press Pumps are known for their robust construction, reliable performance, and ability to handle high-pressure applications with ease. They are equipped with a non-return valve to prevent backflow and are available in various materials to suit different process requirements. Air operated filter press pumps have the unique feature that when the filter press is full, they stop and no additional safety systems are required to shut down the pump (like in case of electrically operated filter press pumps).

Tapflo offers a wide range of centrifugal pumps made of stainless steel and PP and PVDF plastics, including horizontal or vertical pumps, as well as magnetically driven pumps. Available in hygienic and industrial designs, Tapflo centrifugal pumps are among the most versatile pumps currently available on the market.
