A new generation of hygienic, self-priming centrifugal pumps capable of conveying gases:
GEA Tuchenhagen®-VARIFLOW centrifugal pumps, TPS series

By combining the existing GEA Tuchenhagen®-VARIFLOW TP series with a screw rotor, a new generation of hygienic self-priming centrifugal pumps has been created.

The new GEA Tuchenhagen®-VARIFLOW TPS series conveys products containing a large amount of gas. It is characterized by a low sound power level, high efficiency and optimal cleaning properties. This TPS series also permits evacuation of pipes on the suction side – just one pump only for CIP return and product conveying. The new TPS series is used for CIP return applications, for emptying tanks as well as for conveying products containing gas.

    Not generally louder than a non self-priming centrifugal pump
  • Very good cleaning properties
    Dead space free design
  • Very high efficiency
    Maximum can be higher than 40%
  • Less sensitive to particles in the product flow
    Larger gap dimensions than liquid ring pumps
  • Gentle product handling compared with periphery pumps
    Stream lined impeller blades
  • Wearing parts identical with TP series
    Less wearing parts need to be stocked
  • Retrofitting to existing TP pumps is possible
