Towards the end of 2020, Tapflo released a new range of High-Performance Centrifugal Pumps called the CTX. This range was designed to complement the existing CTH and CTI Centrifugal ranges by offering customers a high-performance option with a robust design. The CTX is available in both industrial and hygienic executions, the case study below offers a CTX-I (industrial) solution and is the first CTX Pump to be sold in the UK. We see this pump series being a very popular solution for the Tapflo UK customer base.
Application Details
Our client who worked on a farm was looking to transfer liquid fertiliser from tanks to IBCs. The solution needed to handle 1000 litres/min and solids up to 3mm.
Tapflo UK considered their needs, ensuring the pump we supplied could handle the viscosity of the liquid and maintain the pressure, and suggested a High-Performance Centrifugal Pump for their application.
Pump Solution
Our team worked closely with Tapflo Group to offer our customer the best solution for their application, settling on a CTX-I High-Performance Centrifugal Pump that had some bespoke changes made to the connections and seals in order to meet the customer’s exact requirements. The pump was supplied with flanged connections and EPDM mechanical seals.
Features & Benefits of the High-Performance Centrifugal Pump
Due to the client’s requirements, a High-Performance Centrifugal Pump was chosen for this customer’s application over our regular Centrifugal Pump for several reasons, including:
- Innovatively designed for long life and reliability
- Highly efficient for transferring process media
- Simple to clean and maintain thanks to the mechanical seal being located on the dry side of the pump’s shaft, meaning it does not come into contact with the fluid
- The pump can handle up to 10mm – with the ability to handle larger solids if the customer’s requirements change
This high performance model can reach higher pressures and is available in larger sizes for a more comprehensive flow range, and long-term, trouble-free operation and minimal downtime during maintenance periods. It is also easily adaptable and upgradeable to various applications, making pump maintenance and parts stocking simple, cost-effective and manageable.
