By producing pumps\u2019 bodies, impellers, and other components <\/strong>with stainless steel<\/strong>, we are able to effectively interpret market demands each time by offering specific solutions for a variety of needs.<\/p>\n

It is well known that stainless steel is a valuable material that has significant advantages in various applications.<\/p>\n

Its performance related to corrosion resistance<\/strong>, its hygiene<\/strong>, and also its sustainability<\/strong> (steel is a 100% recyclable material ) make it very strategic.<\/p>\n

The corrosion resistance of stainless steel, in particular, stems from a phenomenon called \u201cself passivation\u201d, that is the ability to recreate independently, on its own surface, a protective layer<\/strong><\/em> makes the metal immune to the aggression of external agents. This, in turn, is made possible by the presence of between 10 percent and 20 percent chromium in the alloy.<\/p>\n

Peripheral pump with stainless steel hydraulics: reliability and durability in harsh environments<\/strong><\/h2>\n

CT peripheral pumps<\/a> are compact pumps with motor housing and pump-side wall in one piece. Their small size is excellently suited for installation in cooling, air conditioning and circulation machines and equipment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Recently, one of our customers operating in Southeast Asia asked us for a supply of electric pumps to be used within a medium-sized cooling plant.<\/p>\n

Chillers are units that require careful design and particularly reliable components to ensure the right temperature in industrial processes.<\/p>\n

CT peripheral pumps are usually produced with cast iron or bronze pump bodies and brass impellers. In this case, however, the demand was for a pump that could operate and ensure excellent performance in an environment characterized by high temperatures and high humidity<\/strong>. The harsh climatic environment, therefore, prompted us to opt for a CTM 61 with a microcast stainless steel pump body<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The stainless steel used is AISI 316L steel, which is particularly suitable for this use because it combines good formability with excellent corrosion resistance.<\/p>\n

The use of microcast steel has thus enabled us to expand the range of our peripheral pumps with a new version that can meet the specific needs of our customers.<\/p>\n

Normalized centrifugal pumps with stainless steel impeller<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We have an ongoing project to include AISI 316 microcast steel impellers<\/strong> also for our NM(4), NMS(4), N(4) and NR(4) series normalized centrifugal pumps<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The following sizes are already available:<\/p>\n
