0. GENERAL

0. GENERAL

0.1. Introduction
CTS is an open impeller self-priming centrifugal pump, manufactured from stainless steel
AISI 316L. 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.

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.

With proper attention to maintenance, CTS pumps will give efficient and trouble free
operation. This instruction manual will familiarise operators with detailed information about
installing, operating and maintaining the pump.

0.2. Warning symbols

The following warning symbols are present in this instruction manual. This is what they say:
This symbol stands next to all safety instructions in this instruction manual
where danger to life and limb may occur. Observe these instructions and
proceed with utmost caution in these situations. Inform also other users of all
safety instructions. In addition to the instructions in this instruction manual, the
general safety and accident prevention regulations must be observed.

This signal stands at points in this instruction manual of particular importance

for compliance with regulations and directives, for correct work flow and for the
prevention of damage to and destruction of the complete dampener or its
subassemblies.

This symbol signals possible danger caused by the presence of electric fields or
live wires.

0.3. Qualification and training of personnel

The personnel in charge of installation, operation and maintenance of the pumps we
produce must be qualified to carry out the operations described in this manual. Tapflo shall
not be held responsible for the training level of personnel and for the fact that they are not
fully aware of the contents of this manual.

IOM manual CTS self-priming pumps 5

1. INSTALLATION
1. INSTALLATION

1.1. Operation principle

In order for the priming action to be achieved, the pump casing has to be filled with liquid
to a level above the impeller (1). When the pump starts its operation, it is slowly sucking out
the air from the suction line thus creating negative pressure and lifting the product. The air
is mixed with the liquid in the pump casing (2). In order to achieve the self-priming capability,
the shut-off / regulation valve on the discharge side must be opened. The air escapes the
casing through the discharge line while the liquid returns to the impeller as it has higher
specific gravity than the liquid/air mixture. This process continues until the suction line is
completely free of air and the pump can operate as a standard centrifugal pump (3).

1.2. Receiving inspection

Although precaution is taken by us when packing and shipping, we urge you to carefully
check the shipment on receipt. Make sure that all parts and accessories listed on the packing
list are accounted for. Immediately report any damage or shortage to the transport company
and to us.

1.3. Storage
If the equipment is to be stored prior to installation, place it in a clean location. Do not
remove the protective covers from the suction and discharge which have been fastened to
keep pump internals free of debris. Clean the pump thoroughly before installation.
When in storage, turn the shaft by hand at least twice per week.

1.4. Foundation
The pump-motor unit must stand on and be fixed to a sufficiently rigid structure that can
support the entire perimeter on which the unit stands. The foundation on a firm bottom is
the most satisfactory. Once the pump is in position, adjust level with metal shims between
the feet and the surface on which it stands. Check that the feet of the pump motor unit stand
well on each of them. The surface on which the foundation stands must be flat and
horizontal. If the unit is fitted on a steel structure, make sure that it is supported so that the
feet do not warp. In any case, it is advisable to fit some anti-vibration rubber pieces between

IOM manual CTS self-priming pumps 6

1. INSTALLATION
the pump and the brickwork. The motor needs an additional stand as its level is higher than
that of the pump casing. As an option the pump can be ordered with feet for the motor. For
close-coupled type, pump motor alignment is not required.

1.5. Environment
 There should be enough space in the vicinity of the pump in order to operate, maintain
and repair it.
 The area in which the pump is operated, must be sufficiently ventilated. Excessive
temperature, humidity or dirt may affect the pump operation’/
 Behind the cooling fan of the motor there must be sufficient room for the hot air to
escape the motor.

1.6. Suction and discharge piping

A pump is generally part of a piping system that can include a number of components such
as valves, fittings, filters, expansion joints, instruments, etc. The way the piping is arranged
and the positioning of the components has a great influence on the operation and the
lifetime of the pump. The pump cannot be used as a support for the components connected
to it.

The flow of liquid from the pump must be as even as possible. It is advisable to avoid any
tight bends or drastic reductions of diameters that may cause flow resistance in the
installation. In case of diameter reduction, it is advisable to use appropriate conical
reductions (possibly eccentric on suction side and concentric on discharge side) at changes
of diameter and at a minimum distance from pump connections of five diameters.

NOTE! The pump casing is designed for maximal work pressure of 3 bar (for CTS C) and 4,5
bar (for CTS D,E), therefore exceeding these limits is prohibited.

1.6.1. Connection of discharge pipe

A shut-off / regulation valve is normally fitted on the discharge side. It cuts off the pump
from the line and adjusts the output. Never adjust flow rate using the valve on the suction
pipe.
NOTE! When starting the pump, the valve on the discharge side must be opened to allow
the pump to self-prime.

1.6.2. Connection of suction pipe

The suction piping is very important for the correct operation of the pump assembly. It must
be as short and as direct as possible. If a longer suction line is unavoidable, the diameter
should be large enough, i.e. at least as the inlet connection on the pump, to ensure less flow
resistance. In any case, suction must be carried out properly avoiding any air locks.
It is recommended to use check valve in the suction line to avoid siphoning when the pump
stops. A foot valve on the suction side can prove useful when suction height is big. It allows
to shorten the time of pump self-priming.

IOM manual CTS self-priming pumps 7

1. INSTALLATION
1.7. Health and safety
The pump must be installed according to local and national safety rules.

The pumps are constructed for particular applications. Do not use the pump on
applications different from that for which it was sold without consulting us to ascertain
its suitability.

1.7.1. Protection
In the interest of health and safety it is essential to wear protective clothing and safety
goggles when operating, and/or working in the vicinity of Tapflo pumps.

1.7.2. Electrical safety

Do not carry out any maintenance or/and operation on the pump while it is running or before
it has been disconnected from the power supply. Avoid any danger caused by electric power
(for details see current regulations in force). Check that electrical specifications on the data
plate are equivalent to the power supply to which it will be connected.

1.7.3. Chemical hazard

Whenever the pump is to be used for pumping a different liquid, it is essential to clean the
pump beforehand in order to avoid any possible reaction between the two products.

1.7.4. Dry running

Do not start nor carry out running tests before filling the pump with liquid. Always avoid dry
operation of the pump. Start the pump when it is completely filled and with the valve on the
discharge side opened.

1.7.5. Noise level

CT pumps, including the motor, in normal operating conditions produce a sound level below
80 dB(A). The major sources of noise are: liquid turbulence in the installation, cavitation or
any other abnormal operation that is independent from the pump construction nor the
pump manufacturer. The user must provide suitable protective means if the sources of noise
could produce a harmful noise level for operators and for the environment (in compliance
with current local regulations).

1.7.6. Temperature hazards

Raised temperature can cause damage on the pump and/or piping and may also be
hazardous for personnel in the vicinity of the pump/piping. The hot or cold parts of the
machine must be protected to avoid accidental contacts

1.7.7. Rotating parts

Do not tamper with the protection of the rotating parts, do not touch or approach rotating
parts in movement.

IOM manual CTS self-priming pumps 8

1. INSTALLATION
1.7.8. Cleaning and disinfection
Cleaning and disinfection of the pump system is of greatest importance when the pump is
used in a food process installation. Use of a pump system that is NOT cleaned or disinfected
can cause contamination of the product.

1.8. Example of installation

1) YES: Gate valve (may also be near pump in case of long piping)
2) With positive head: tilt of piping towards pump
3) YES: line strainer if particles are present
4) NO: air pockets – the circuit must be short and straight
5) YES: pipe fastening
6) Suction line as short and direct as possible
7) YES: attachment for gauge or safety pressure switch
8) YES: adjusting gate valve on outlet
9) Bends placed after valves and instruments not closer to the pump inlet than five times
the piping diameter
10) NO: elbow joints (and other bends) on the pump inlet and outlet
11) OPTIONAL: check valve
12) YES: strainer if particles are present
13) YES: expansion joint (necessary with long pipes or hot liquids) and/or anti-vibration
facility during discharge and suction – anchored near the pump
14) YES: overcoming obstacles at lower depths
15) Fix the pump to the stand by means of holes in the motor feet. The stand must be
level

IOM manual CTS self-priming pumps 9

1. INSTALLATION
1.9. Instruments
In order to ensure a proper control of the performance and the conditions of the installed
pump, we recommend using the following instruments:
- a pressure-vacuum gauge on the suction piping;
- a pressure gauge on the discharge piping.

The pressure intakes must be made of straight pieces of piping at a distance of minimum
five diameters from the pump inlets. The pressure gauge on discharge must always be fitted
between the pump and the shut-off / regulation valve. The output can be read on the
pressure gauge, transformed into meters and then compared with the typical curves.

1.9.1. Electric power

The electric power absorbed by the motor can be measured by means of a wattmeter.

1.9.2. Optional instruments

The optional instruments can indicate if pump is working in an abnormal way. The abnormal
conditions can be caused by: accidentally closed valves, lack of pumped liquid, overloads,
etc.

1.9.3. Thermometer
If the temperature of the pumped liquid is a critical parameter, provide the installation with
a thermometer (preferably on the suction side).

1.10. Motor connection

An expert electrician must always carry out the electrical connection. Compare the power
supply with the data plate specifications and then choose a suitable connection. The type of
connection is stated on the motor data plate and can be Y (star) or D (Delta), according to
the power supply of the motor (see figure below).
STAR DELTA

IOM manual CTS self-priming pumps 10

1. INSTALLATION
Follow the connection standard used in the plant. In no case connect the electrical motor
directly to supply network but use a suitable electric switchboard equipped with a knife
switch and suitable safety devices (e.g. motor breaker switches) in the power circuit. Safety
devices against overloads must also protect the motors. Make sure that the motor has
suitable grounding and that it has been connected properly.

IOM manual CTS self-priming pumps 11

2. OPERATION

2. OPERATION

2.1. Start-up
 Check manually that the motor is free to turn, moving the motor cooling fan.

 Make sure that the piping is not clogged and is free from residues or foreign objects.
Make sure that the liquid flows regularly into the pump.

 The pump casing must be filled with liquid. The minimum water level is:
 240 mm ±5 (9,5 ± 0,2 inch) or 7 dm3 (1,54 UK gal) for CTS C pumps
 300 mm ±5 (11,8 ± 0,2 inch) or 11,8 dm3 (2,6 UK gal) for CTS D, E pumps

 The suction shut-off valve (if any) must be completely open.

 The shut-off / regulation valve on the discharge side must be opened.

 The motor must turn in the same direction as the arrow shown on the pump. The
direction of rotation is always clockwise looking at the pump from the motor side; check
by starting briefly, then looking at the direction of rotation of the motor fan through the
fan lid. If it is wrong, the motor must be stopped immediately. Change the connection
to the terminals of the electric motor (chapter 1.8 “Motor connection”) and repeat the
procedure described above.

 Any auxiliary connections must all be connected.

 When restarting the pump, make sure to drain the discharge line. It is important that
during self-priming there is no back pressure, so the air can easily escape the pump
casing.

 If the pump is equipped with an oil reservoir, make sure to fill it before start-up.

2.1.1. Starting the pump

Start the electric motor. The discharge shut-off / regulation valve must be completely
opened.

If the pressure shown on the pressure gauge on the discharge piping does not increase, turn
off the pump immediately and release pressure carefully. Repeat the connection procedure.

If there are changes of flow rate, head, density, temperature or viscosity of the liquid, stop
the pump and get in touch with our technical service.

IOM manual CTS self-priming pumps 12

2. OPERATION
2.1.2. Restarting after power shut-off
In case of accidental stopping, make sure that the non-return valve has prevented backflow
and check that the motor cooling fan has stopped. Start the pump again following the
instructions of chapter 2.1.1 ”Starting the pump”.

2.2. Stopping the pump

It is advisable to close the discharge shut-off / regulation valve gradually and stop the motor
immediately after. The reverse sequence is not recommendable, especially with larger pumps
or longer delivery piping. That is to avoid any problems due to water hammering. If a suction
shutoff valve has been installed, it is advisable to close it completely.

2.3. Cleaning and disinfection

Cleaning and disinfection of the pump system is of greatest importance when the pump is
used in a food processing installation. Use of a pump system that is NOT cleaned or
disinfected can cause contamination of the product. The cleaning cycles as well as chemicals
to use for the cleaning vary depending on the pumped product and the process. The user is
responsible to establish a suitable cleaning and / or disinfection program according to local
and public health and safety regulations.

2.3.1. Cleaning procedure

The pump may be cleaned in two different ways:

CIP (Cleaning In Place)

without dismantling the pump, using steam, water or cleaning chemicals. Follow these safety
instructions during the CIP procedure:

 Make sure that all cleaning line connections are properly tightened to avoid splashing
of hot water or cleaning chemicals.
 When using an automatic process, a safety device should be installed to avoid
unintentional automatic start-up of the pump.
 Before any disassembly of the pump, fittings or pipes, make sure that the cleaning cycle
is finished.

Manual cleaning
by simply dismantling the pump casing, impeller and mechanical seal. Always follow these
safety instructions:

 Switch off the electric power to the motor and disconnect the motor starting system if
installed.
 The cleaning personnel shall wear suitable protective clothing, footwear and goggles.
 Use a suitable non-toxic and non-flammable cleaning solution.
 Always keep the area around the pump clean and dry.
 Never clean the pump by hand with pump running.

Maintenance work on electrical installations must be performed by qualified

personnel and only when the power supply has been shutoff. Follow the local
and national safety regulations.

3.1. Inspections
 Periodically check suction and discharge pressures.
 Inspect the motor according to the instructions from the motor manufacturer.
 In general, a mechanical seal does not require maintenance, but the pump should never

3.3. Disassembly of the pump

The disassembly should only be performed by qualified personnel.

Each operation carried out on the machine must always be carried out once all the electrical
contacts have been disconnected. The pump-motor unit must be placed in a position where
it cannot be started unintentionally.

Before servicing in any way the parts that come in contact with the pumped liquid, make sure
that the pump has been fully emptied and washed. When draining the liquid, make sure that
there is no danger for people or the environment.

The numbers put in brackets, refer to the part numbers in the spare part drawings and spare
