Tapflo - Model CTS series -Self-Priming Centrifugal Pumps
CTS is an open impeller self-priming centrifugal pump, manufactured from AISI 316L stainless steel.The self-priming feature allows to use the pump in applications where standard CT pumps do not prove useful. The CTS pump is capable of creating up to 4,5 m of suction lift.
There are two executions available: Standard – Industrial (CTS I) and Hygienic (CTS H):
CTS H with excellent electro polished surfaces, FDA approved seals, high finish and mechanical strength, meet the demands from food and sanitary applications.
CTS I with AISI 316L chemical resistance and mechanical strength is a reliable choice for industrial applications.
- Wide range of optional executions: lubricated seal for safety, foot valve for quicker starting aft* stoppage of the pump, appropriate for hygienic applications (CTSH series).
- No need for additional pumps or equipment for self-priming.
- Ideal for highly aerated liquids.
- Easy installation and maintenance. Only the suction pipe has to be immersed and the pump can be located at a convenient spot. Disassembly of the pump without interfering into the piping. Replace only one part on your CT pump to achieve the self-priming ability.
Self-priming vs. standard centrifugal pump comparsion
The CTS pump is a great alternative to our standard CT pumps when the self-priming ability is needed.
By replacing only one element - the casing with a self-priming chamber – we can achieve various advantages for our pump.
The pump can now suck the liquid form a lower level than it is positioned or handle liquids with high content of air.
The construction of the pump chamber ensures that there is always enough liquid left inside in order to prime the pump after stoppage.
