pumps<br />

The <strong>GEA</strong> Tuchenhagen self-priming pump <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> TPS series are used <strong>for</strong> conveying<br />

aggressive, clean liquids that are free <strong>of</strong> abrasive constituents. <strong>Pumps</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> TPS series are<br />

horizontal, self-priming pumps. They st<strong>and</strong> out by <strong>the</strong>ir sturdy construction <strong>and</strong> high<br />

operational reliability <strong>and</strong> are preferably used in <strong>the</strong> food processing <strong>and</strong> luxury<br />

food industry as a CIP return pump.<br />

<strong>GEA</strong> Tuchenhagen rotary lobe pumps <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> VPSH <strong>and</strong> VPSU series are used whenever<br />

viscous, sensitive or solids-containing liquids must be gently transferred.<br />

Type VPSH is used in hygienic applications <strong>of</strong> all kinds.<br />

Type VPSU has been designed especially <strong>for</strong> high aseptic requirements that are st<strong>and</strong>ard in<br />

sterile areas.<br />

The special design <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Skimitar rotors <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> pump’s design enable <strong>the</strong> pump to convey a<br />

wide range <strong>of</strong> media: from low-viscous media to products with a viscosity <strong>of</strong><br />

up to 1,000,000 mPas or even media with suspended solids.<br />

Due to <strong>the</strong> shape <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Skimitar rotors, a particularly high efficiency is achieved.<br />
