PUMPS & FILTRATION
How long do your pumps last?
Pomac Pumps have just received a
23-year-old pump back into their
warehouse and it’s still in excellent
working condition! Want to know more?
Check out the case study below.
Tapflo UK have been working alongside Pomac Pumps for over
10 years, exclusively distributing their range of Food Grade Hygienic
Process Pumps throughout the UK. With their products lasting for
over 20 years, we’d be crazy not to be proud of our working
relationship with them!
As mentioned, Pomac Pumps recently received one of their CPC
Centrifugal Pumps back into their warehouse for inspection and
maintenance. The customer who owns this pump has over 15
identical Pomac CPC Centrifugal Pumps on site, pumping WFI,
CIP and various solvents. What’s more, each of these pumps were
sold in 1995, making these pumps the same age as some of the
Tapflo UK Team!
When receiving their 23-year-old pump back to the warehouse,
the team at Pomac worked on converting the current wetted parts
(which were still in excellent condition!) to a new ATEX electro motor,
as per request of the customer. A new cartridge mechanical seal was
placed into the pump, as well as an upgraded stub shaft and new
PTFE O-Rings for the pump cover and connections. See the quality
of the pump below!
Pomac Pumps pride
themselves in the
excellent quality of
their pumps, their
customer service
and being able to
supply spare parts
with fast lead times.

Pomac CPC Sanitary
Centrifugal Pump
What makes the
Pomac CPC Pump
different to other
Centrifugal Pumps?
The CPC Centrifugal Pump housing is made from cast Stainless Steel,
differing from other Centrifugal Pumps on the market which are often
welded together. Welding the housing together leaves rough surfaces
inside the pump which can provide areas for bacteria to grow, which
isn’t ideal for hygienic applications.
A housing made from cast rather than welded Stainless Steel has
a lower surface roughness, so the housing is smoother and there
is less probability of bacteria growing. Typically, Pomac’s CPC is
manufactured with a surface roughness of 0.8 or 0.5 upon request.
Applications
We’d be here a while if we listed every application Pomac’s
CPC range is suitable for, so here’s just a few examples:
Food and Beverage Industry: Including dairy, sugar, animal
and vegetable oils/fats, alcohol.
CIP and SIP: Handling of chemicals for optimal cleaning and
sterilization including Sodium Hydroxide and Nitric Acid.
Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology: Tablets & coating, distilled water,
Ultra-Filtration, emulsions.
For a full list, visit the Tapflo UK website: www.tapflopumps.
co.uk and head to our ‘Food Grade Process Pumps’ section.
Pomac’s CPC Centrifugal Pump
range is perfectly suited for
the Food and Pharmaceutical
Industries due to complying
with EHEDG standards and
being manufactured from
high-grade cast Stainless Steel.

Benefi ts of the CPC Sanitary Centrifugal Pump
The CPC sanitary centrifugal pump range can be converted to ATEX
pumps with ATEX motors, which is currently taking place with the
23-year-old Centrifugal Pump! The ATEX CPC pump is a CPC-ZA, this
range is not EHEDG certified but remains sanitary in construction, and
also has the added benefit of being a Self-Priming Centrifugal Pump.
Not only is the pump itself manufactured to a high finish to ensure
that it is sanitary, but the O-Rings are also EHEDG and FDA
compliant to provide 100% hygiene.
The CPC sanitary centrifugal pump range is available in 4 sizes,
providing a capacity range up to 500m/hr and 13 Bar of pressure.
The CPC sanitary centrifugal pump range has been designed to
provide customers with low maintenance costs and simply disassembly,
whilst still maintaining elegance, efficiency and optimal cleanability.
