Tapflo introduces the CTX, an all-new, world-class series of heavy-duty centrifugal pumps characterized by their robust design and superior operational reliability and application flexibility.
Tapflo's CTX heavy duty centrifugal pump design ensures that the range can be adapted to a variety of applications and process conditions, providing greater flexibility with quick and easy upgrade options that enable interchangeability of parts between pump types and sizes and improve serviceability.
A key feature of the Tapflo CTX design is the multi-faceted open impeller, which can be optimized for any medium and application while retaining the ability to handle viscous products and especially those with an increased solids content. Another key feature is the option of a double mechanical seal that has no contact with the pumped liquid and is lubricated by a barrier fluid. Thanks to the barrier fluid, there is no risk of dry running or leakage of the pumped medium into the atmosphere.
"We started working on the design of the CTX pump because end users were missing a premium range centrifugal pump characterized by high efficiency and robust construction with an excellent price-performance ratio. To meet this demand, we developed the CTX high-performance pump. The pump is characterized by low noise and vibration, easy maintenance and robust construction. The last two factors, combined with market-leading performance, were our key design principles when developing the pump. The CTX is designed to be even more robust than expected for its normal operation. From our point of view, endurance and performance are crucial for premium class products. We want to earn money on reliability, not on spare parts," explains Mikołaj. Laguna-Horodniczy, Global Marketing Manager at the Tapflo Group
The CTX pumps from Tapflo are available in a hygienic version (CTX H) and an industrial version (CTX I). The pumps are optimized for highly efficient performance over a wide range of operating conditions for various industries. The Tapflo CTX is an excellent solution for typical dairy applications, such as milk and yoghurt pumping. The CTX is also a leading option for demanding chemical and pharmaceutical applications such as the transportation of chemicals and finished products from storage tanks, vessels and baths. Another application for which the CTX is well suited is the transfer of various ingredients and products such as cooking oil, flavors and juices, as well as many auxiliary operations such as the transfer of cleaning fluids and water.
"The Tapflo CTX H is an extremely hygienic and aseptic centrifugal pump as the shaft seal is not in direct contact with any liquid. It is easy to clean and the pumped liquid is not contaminated. The CTX has better performance and efficiency than other comparable pumps on the market, at a low and highly competitive price. Like all other Tapflo pumps, we can deliver the CTX directly from our own factory and our worldwide warehouses, short delivery times are part of our mission". - says Håkan Ekstrand, CCO (Chief Commercial Officer) of the Tapflo Group
