GEA Hilge TPS
Single-Stage Self-Priming Centrifugal Pumps for Standard Applications
By combining the existing centrifugal pumps series GEA Hilge TP with a front rotor, a new generation of hygienic self-priming centrifugal pumps has been created.
The centrifugal pump GEA Hilge TPS is a self-priming pump for viscosities of up to 500 mPas. The TPS is characterized by a low sound level, highest efficiency and excellent cleaning properties. The GEA Hilge TPS series also permits evacuation of pipes on the suction side – so that just one pump is required for CIP return and product conveying!

Sealing of GEA Hilge TPS centrifugal pumps according to EHEDG standards
The elastomer sealing is executed according to EHEDG standards. The special groove enables the seal is kept reliably in place at all times. The shape of the groove is based on FEM analyses. The metallic stop allows a defined compression of the seal, ensuring gap-free sealing against the product chamber without dead corners.
