Product Description
Pompetravaini TBA Self-Priming Pumps
The Pompetravaini TBA Self-Priming Pumps are horizontal multistage centrifugal pumps developed for difficult suction conditions. Their design adds a centrifugal stage at the suction side of the established TBH hydraulic system. Consequently, these Travaini TBA pumps achieve extremely low NPSH requirements while still generating high discharge pressure.
The complete range provides capacities up to 35 m³/h and heads up to 40 bar. Therefore, the TBA low-NPSH pump suits applications that require moderate flow, high pressure and dependable self-priming performance.
TBA Low-NPSH Self-Priming Pump Design
Low NPSH means that the pump requires relatively low inlet pressure to avoid cavitation. Therefore, the Pompetravaini TBA Self-Priming Pumps can operate under more demanding suction conditions than many conventional centrifugal pumps.
Moreover, the TBA self-priming centrifugal pump can handle liquids close to their boiling point, gas-liquid mixtures and compatible liquefied gases. Consequently, it is useful where vapour formation or entrained gas may interrupt a standard centrifugal pump.
Key Features of Travaini TBA Pumps
- Multistage self-priming centrifugal construction
- Additional centrifugal suction stage
- Extremely low NPSH requirement
- Capacity up to 35 m³/h
- Head up to 40 bar
- Suitable for liquids near boiling point
- Capability to handle entrained gas

Together, these features make the Travaini TBA pumps suitable for demanding chemical, petrochemical and industrial duties.
Multistage TBA Centrifugal Pump Operation
The TBA multistage pump uses several hydraulic stages in series. Therefore, each stage increases the liquid pressure while maintaining broadly consistent capacity.
In addition, the inherited lateral-channel design uses open star-type impellers. Each impeller is hydraulically balanced; consequently, axial forces transmitted to the bearings are reduced. As a result, the Pompetravaini multistage self-priming pump supports stable high-pressure operation.
Pompetravaini TBA Pump Priming Performance
The Pompetravaini TBA Self-Priming Pumps can handle mixtures of clean liquid and gas during suitable operation. Consequently, the pump can remove air from the suction line and establish flow without requiring a continuously flooded inlet.
However, the pump must contain the liquid required by its operating procedure before starting. Therefore, users should follow the manufacturer’s installation and commissioning instructions rather than assuming that completely dry starting is acceptable.
Low-Speed TBA Process Pump Reliability
The Travaini TBA centrifugal pump operates at relatively low speed. Consequently, vibration and noise can be reduced, while mechanical service life may improve.
Moreover, the modular relationship between the TBA and TBH ranges allows many components to remain interchangeable. As a result, facilities operating both pump series may reduce spare-parts variety and simplify maintenance planning.
TBA Mechanical-Seal Options
The TBA process pump is available with suitable mechanical-seal arrangements for different liquids and temperatures. In addition, double mechanical seals may be configured back-to-back or in tandem.
Heated or cooled seal housings may also be available for demanding operating temperatures. However, the exact seal arrangement must match the selected TBA model, fluid chemistry and process conditions.
TBAK Magnetic-Drive Pump Version
For corrosive, toxic, polluting or odorous liquids, Pompetravaini offers the TBAK magnetic-drive version derived from the TBA design.
Consequently, the TBAK removes the conventional rotating shaft-seal leakage path. Therefore, this sealless TBA pump is especially relevant where liquid containment is critical. The TBAK range reaches capacities up to 35 m³/h and heads up to 35 bar.
TBA Self-Priming Pump Performance Range
The published series limits are:
- Maximum capacity: 35 m³/h
- Maximum head: 40 bar
- Hydraulic arrangement: Multistage
- Priming type: Self-priming
- Suction characteristic: Extremely low NPSH
However, these limits apply across the complete range. Therefore, users should not assign 35 m³/h at 40 bar to every TBA low-NPSH pump. The actual duty depends on pump size, stage count, speed and liquid properties.
UAE Applications for Pompetravaini TBA Pumps
The Pompetravaini TBA Self-Priming Pumps may support:
- Liquids close to boiling temperature
- LPG and compatible liquefied gases
- Gas-liquid mixtures
- Condensate recovery
- Distilled-liquid transfer
- Solvent handling
- Chemical and petrochemical processes
- Pharmaceutical production
- Food-processing systems
- Vacuum-process liquid removal
- Hot or cold clean-liquid transfer
- High-pressure industrial circulation
However, construction materials, mechanical seals and temperature limits must match the actual liquid.
Selecting a Travaini TBA Self-Priming Pump
Correct selection depends on required flow, discharge head, available NPSH, suction lift, liquid vapour pressure and gas content.
In addition, users should confirm chemical composition, temperature, specific gravity, viscosity, seal arrangement, stage count and motor power. Therefore, the Pompetravaini TBA Self-Priming Pumps should be selected from model-specific performance data.
Otherwise, inadequate inlet conditions or an unsuitable TBA pump configuration may cause cavitation, loss of priming or reduced reliability.
