Tapflo’s CTX High Performance Centrifugal Pump is a reliable and powerful pump designed to minimise downtime and deliver superior performance. This is enhanced thanks to the variations of the CTX, which include the CTX I (Industrial), the CTX H (Hygienic) and the CTX S (Self-Priming). With its modular design, this Centrifugal Pump is adaptable to various applications and installation conditions, ensuring long-term trouble-free operation.
Typical applications for the CTX:

There are 3 different execution options within the CTX range: CTX I (Industrial), CTX H (Hygienic) and CTX S (Self-Priming), allowing this range to be used across various applications.
The CTX I and CTX H can reach higher pressures and are available in larger sizes for a more comprehensive flow range (in comparison to their counterparts, the CTI and CTH pumps.
Operators of the CTX range can expect long-term, trouble-free operation and minimal downtime during maintenance periods thanks to the high strength and compact and reliable design.
The CTX’s architecture is defined by its “modular product concept,” which allows for flow rates up to 132m³/hr and max discharge pressures of up to 100m. The CTX S is self-priming up to 5.
The CTX is easily adaptable and upgradeable to various applications, making pump maintenance and parts stocking simple, cost-effective and manageable.
Though initially designed for tank-to-tank transfer applications, the CTX range can also be used for:

Impeller:
The CTX is designed with a multi-facet open impeller which benefits the pump by stabilising operation and reducing noise and vibrations emitted by the pump.
Open impellers are also ideal for handling applications that are highly viscous and/or have suspended solids.
Tapflo can trim and adapt the impeller to meet the needs of the process media.
Built on inverter: the easiest and most flexible way of changing pump working parameters. The pump and motor are protected from overloading and a soft-start function is included.
Adjustable feet: Easy cleaning of underneath the pump and easy to move location of the pump.
Inducer: increases the inlet pressure and lowers the NPSHr of the pump. This is easy to accommodate even in existing pumps as only the inducer has to be screwed to the impeller.
Hygienic Connections (CTXH only): wide range of connections available such as DIN 11851, DIN 32676, SMS 3017, SMS 1145, RJT and others.
Hygienic Shrouds (CTXH only): the hygienic motor shroud in AISI 304L protects the motor against flooding, deposition of dirt, and from spraying water during pump cleaning procedures.
Flanged Connections (CTXI only): the CTXI is equipped with connections according to EN 1092-1 type 11, ANSI 150 Lbs. Others available on request.
Mounting brackets: Complete pump unit may be assembled on a baseplate which can be permanently fixed to the foundation.
