50 years anniversary

Posted on by

We are celebrating our 50th anniversary!

This year, Papantonatos , producer of submersible waste water pumps series PXFLOW and deep well pumps series FLOWPAP is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The roots began in Greece in 1963 by Elias N. Papantonatos.senior. First he started working for KSB in Greece just from 1950 until 1962. After then he continued with Pleuger pumps and motors.

We are proud for being one of the oldest distributor of Pleuger products worldwide. Due to the high import tariffs  and the depreciating value of local currency, he was forced to begin manufacturing centrifugal single stage and multistage pumps as well as submersible turbine pumps. Early in 70’s he focused exclusively in the manufacturing of submersible turbine pumps with Pleuger’s support.

2004 the two Sons of Papantonatos senior started to produce submersible waste water pumps series PXFLOW.

With half a century of experience in the submersible pump field we continue to improve our existing range using high efficiency motors and focus to build bigger size of submersible pumps and motors.  

ESTE barrier (Hamburg Germany)

A good idea and PXFLOW submersible
pumps solve the problem with wing walls of Este barrier!like many rivers, so also the Elbe leads a variety of sediments with them, which can
form deposits and thus affect navigability. The associated problems and tasks
are controversy – partly. In Hamburg, the dredged Harbor mud in so-called
barges is loaded, brought to a landing stage, and then applied a cleaner and
rinsing pipe flushing fields. Unfortunately, it is not always so easy to
siltation problems in this way.At
the Este barrage before the sediments in the barrage gates had established
itself in the gates of the port of Hamburg. This led to considerable
obstructions. The cost of the manual removal disproportionately burdening the
budget.With a good idea and the use of submersible pumps,the task could be solved sustainably and cost-effectively.more press press bellow link (German only)

Sewage pump station at Santorini Island

Posted on by

The island of Santorini is one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world


The pumping of wastewater and the waste-water treatment systems should meet in the large population increase during the summer months.
The pumps except major fluctuations of the provision have to deal with and the existence of sand (volcanic ash) that penetrates inside the pumping stations and wears out.
Any worn out pump replacement should be done quickly because the pumping stations are under busy streets and alleys.

Such a pump station is the A2 which is situated in the pedestrian zone of Kamari


 

Within a few days was prepared and delivered with PXFLOW pump features 109m3/h in 22.9 m, 12, 5kW monokanali impeller and with special hook so that it clicks into the existing party bases and internal cooling system to cloak continuous operation of the engine in addition to sewage

< < When we put into operation the first time because they did not hear any noise and there were no vibrations we thought that wasn’t working the pump > > tells us features workshop maintenance Manager Mr. Halaris.


<< Once we saw the sign on the ammeter that does not pump the thought. > > continues features. < < We are excited with the Greek PXFLOW pump > >

Papantonatos SA as the only Greek manufacturer of submersible sewage pumps may and offers in the Greek market

Easy replacement of other brand installation in Hong Kong

Posted on by

The fact:

A lot of end users feel “locked in” to a specific pump manufacturer because their pump installation has already been fitted with a specific base/elbow and guide rails that can accommodate only one type of waste water pump. Many of these pumps are outdated and have low efficiency standards and high maintenance costs.

PXFLOW service advantages:

The PXFLOW pump discharge flange connection and adapter have been designed for a quick and easy replacement of various different pump brands. Depending on the pump brand that needs to be replaced there is an equivalent PXFLOW pump that can either use a PXFLOW adapter, (ideal for Flygt & Pumpex discharge elbow base with 2” or 3” guide rails), or can be installed using the existing flange adapter and base discharge elbow.

Modifications according customer needs:

Sometimes the flange bolt hole pattern can be different from pump to pump.

In order to overcome this issue PXFLOW pumps can be ordered with a solid discharge flange so the customer can specify the appropriate bolt hole pattern that is needed for their installation to match their corresponding discharge base elbow. We can also manufacture custom size flanges, upon request, to match specific customer needs. A major advantage that we have at PXFLOW pumps is that we can manufacture larger than the standard flange sizes in our foundry.

 Long experience in pump business:

Carlo Wong is our distributor in Hong Kong and has more than 15 years of experience with Pumpex pumps. He has successfully replaced a large number of existing pumps like Pumpex, Flygt, ABS, Grundfos, EMU, Yeoman, Homa with PXFLOW waste water pumps.
