Centrifugal pump has high capacity

Liquid specialist Tapflo has launched a compact, magnet-powered centrifugal pump designed for the distribution of low-viscous liquids. The new pump, Tapflo CTM, uses magnet power which allows the construction to be entirely closed, thus eliminating leakage risk. This means that the pump is highly suitable for handling toxic, corrosive or other hazardous liquids, Tapflo says.

The design incorporates a solution employing fixed and rotating bushings instead of the traditional axle for the suspension of the impeller. This solution makes the pump less sensitive to pressure impact and easier and safer to dismantle and assemble for service, Tapflo says. The pumps are built for continuous running and can be dry run without damage for short periods.

The Tapflo pumps are made in glass fibre reinforced polypropylene and are suitable for such fields as OEM manufacturers, chemicals processing, foodstuffs, photographic developing and the surface treatment industry. The CTM pump can distribute liquids with temperatures of up to 70 degrees Celsius. CTM comes in three versions with capacities between 4.5 to 10 m3 of liquid per hour. The pump is also available in a PVDF plastic version that can operate with liquids of temperatures up to 80°C.
