Tapflo UK provides a range of pumps and supported products for small or large systems being designed by your business, and offer complete system solutions in-house. For this project, Tapflo worked closely with a client to supply a suitable pump and coordinating parts that would be integrated within a bespoke CIP Skid System.
Read our case study below, where we supported a client via supplying high-end pumps and products for a new, bespoke CIP Skid system for servicing machinery.
Application Details
A customer approached Tapflo UK when searching for a pump that could be built into a bespoke CIP Skid System. The system would be taken between sites to service machinery with a Caustic Solution for CIP so it needed to be easily transportable. Other requirements that the client had included:
- A flow rate of 15 m3 per hour
- The discharge pressure needed to be 5 Bar+
- Has low NPSHr requirements
- The maximum temperature of the fluid would be 85°C
Tapflo considered these requirements when selecting the right pump for the application, and got to work with a quote and suggestion for the client.
Pump Solution
Tapflo UK is a UK exclusive partner for the manufacturer Pomac Pumps, and their CPC Pump was a perfect fit for our customer’s application. Alongside the CPC, we also supplied the ancillary equipment required for the skid.
CIP Skid System equipment supplied:
- 1x Self-Priming Sanitary Centrifugal Pump
- 1 ½” tri-clamp with counterparts
- ¾” tri-clamp for pump drainage
- 5kw motor
- Hygienic Turbine Flow Meter with LCD display for accurate readings
- Hygienic strainer which has a back pull design for easy and quick filter changes
- 1 ½” tri-clamp pressure gauge
All parts supplied by Tapflo UK were sent to the customer who built the skid themselves to meet their specific design, we also helped the customer to calculate the required size of pipework and pipework velocity to ensure that the system would work efficiently.
Features & Benefits
Why we chose the Pomac CPC Sanitary Centrifugal Pump
Hygienic: The pump is fully EHEDG compliant and manufactured from high-quality metals with a surface finish of 0.8 (as standard), or 0.5 upon request. This ensures the pump is in perfect condition for sanitary applications, including CIP and SIP.
Easy drainage: The CPC solution also featured a clamped drain plug port at the bottom of the pump casing, this allows the pump and system to fully drain once the customer has finished completed their on-site servicing.
Pressure suitability: This pump can achieve high head to low flow discharge pressures, which the system required
Overall compatibility: The CPC Pump is a high-quality solution at a cost-effective price and a compact design, which fits into the customer’s skid design.
The pump solution was delivered within a short lead time that suited the customer, providing an all-around solution to meet the customer’s requirements perfectly.
