Tapflo quality
The Tapflo pump is usually an essential part in the process with hazardous
fluids. We always strive to supply the safest and most environmental friendly
solution for these fluids. As a part of our safety thinking, we are in the frontline
following important standards, guidelines and directives. Many of our products
comply with the EC ATEX directive for equipment in explosion hazardous environ-
ments. All our pumps are of course CE marked and followed by our comprehensive
instruction manuals. Tapflo is an ISO 9001:2001 certified company. The EHEDG
certification of our aseptic diaphragm pump was achieved in 2009.

Various liquids
Tapflo pumps are compatible with a very wide range of chemicals:
Chemical industry
Transfer of all kind of acids, alkalis, alcohol,
solvents and shear sensitive products such as
latex and emulsions, as well as chemical waste
products.
Surface conditioning
Transport of chemicals from storage tanks,
containers and baths, for example in pickling,
galvanization and degreasing. Handling of waste
products.
Water treatment
Pumping samples, dosing acids and alkalis for
pH-control. Transfer of flocculent, suspensions,
chemical reagents and sludges. The pumps are
resistant to hydrochloric acid and ferric chlorite,
plus many others.

Various liquids...
Hygienic applications
Transfer of food products like soup, cream, syrup,
milk, yoghurt, flavours, spirit, chocolate, dough,
creams, paste, perfumes and toothpaste. Service
applications as spraying of cleaning liquid in CIP
systems.
Mechanical industry
Handling of oil, fats, lubricants, cooling liquids,
washing and cleaning liquids, solvents and waste
products etc.

The other diaphragm simul-
taneously transmits the air
pressure to the liquid in the
housing, pushing it towards
the discharge port.

Air operated Can run against a closed pipe or closed valve without
damage. Easy to install without special training (no
electricity)

General
Flooded
The piping system is designed with a positive suction head.
This is the best way of installtion where it is necessary to
completely evacuate all liquid from the container, or where
viscous (thick) products are transfered.
Selfpriming
The Tapflo pump is designed to pull a high vacuum. It is
able to evacuate an empty suction pipe without any da-
mage to the pump. The suction lift is up to 5 meter (16.4’)
from an empty suction pipe and up to 8 meter (26.2’) from
a wetted pipe. The suction capability depends on the pump
size (see pages 17, 24, 29)
Submerged
All Tapflo pumps may be submerged into the liquid. It is
important to make sure that all components which are in
contact with the liquid are chemically compatible. The air
exhaust must be led to the athmosphere by means of a
hose.

General
Metal series
The series consists of 6 sizes covering the capcity
range between 0 and 820 l/min. Materials avai-
lable are aluminium, cast iron, stainless steel and
PTFE coated aluminium. The compact, smooth
and simple design is common for all different
sizes.
Sanitary series
The Tapflo sanitary series is particulary designed
to meet the special requirements of the food in-
dustry. Lubrication free airvalve maintenance free
ball check system and total visual inspection of all
wetted parts. This enables safe and efficient trans-
fer of foods, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

PE & PTFE series
Polyethylene pumps
Polyethylene (PE HD) has a superior wear resistance which is 6 – 7 times better than for polypropylene
(PP). This fact makes the pump suitable for handling abrasive slurries etc. PE is resistant to most kind of
aggressive chemicals such as concentrated acids and alkalis. Maximum liquid temperature is 70°C.
PTFE pumps
PTFE (virgin polytetrafluorethylene) is a thermoplastic polymer with superior chemical resistance. The
PTFE pump will handle even the most aggressive acids, for instance concentrated nitric acid. Maximum
liquid temperature is up to 100°C.

TF filterpress
pump stations
The Tapflo pump station for filter-
press feeding is a very compact unit
that can be mounted directly to the
filterpress. The design and function
allows the user a straightforward
pressing of slurries. Pressure re-
gulator is already mounted to the
unit. The pump stations are based
on the standard Tapflo pumps from
machined polyethylene (PE). An
external pressure booster doubles
the delivery pressure. For example,
with available air pressure of 7
bar, the delivery pressure will be
maximum 14 bar.

Our design allows for total visual inspection of the wetted parts. There
are no hidden areas where bacteria can grow. The manifold clamps
and the housing screws are simply removed for complete disassembly
and cleaning. The pump is also designed for cleaning and sterilization
in place – C.I.P. and S.I.P. After such operations, the pump is easily
turned in its support for drainage.

The Guardian system monitors the pressure in the void cavities of a barrier pump, pipe work, tank or
vessel. If the pressure in the void increases above the set point due to either a media breach or mecha-
nical failure, the system will issue a signal that can be utilised to sound an alarm, stop the pump, etc.
The diaphragm is PTFE faced as per the fluid diaphragms of the pump, therefore is completely tolerant
of most media and is therefore much safer than conventional systems. The guardian body is made from
either aluminium, stainless steel or conductive PTFE.
The pneumatic batch unit allows you to set and pump a certain number of pump strokes - all this without
any electricity. The system is easily applied on all Tapflo pumps. Only the exhaust muffler has to modified
with a hose connection. When the batch is started, the unit will count the number of pump strokes the
pump is doing. The pump strokes are sensed from the variation of pressure in the air exhaust by a pres-
sure switch (placed in the counter unit).

The Pneumix...
was predominantly developed for the paint
and ink industry where most raw materials
in drums or containers settle out over time
and need to be mixed or blended prior to
use. This usually means rolling, shaking or
pumping to a mixing vessel; that adds time,
waste, mess and expense.
36
Accessories
Mixing mode
The discharge valve is closed and
the recirculation valve is open, to
allow the product to circulate in
the container
Transfer mode
The discharge valve is open and
the recirculation valve is partially
open, to both mix and to transfer
the product out of the Pneumix
Variable agitation
Means the mixing action can be matched to the specific product or application.
Safety
Air operated control and operation means no electrics are necessary.

Powder pumps
Reduced contamination
The powder is transferred in a hermetic system
from the powder container to your process.
Economical and
compact solution
The Tapflo powder transfer pump can do the
same job as many complex and large powder
systems. The compact design also makes the
unit portable.
Capacity
The capacity of the powder transfer is extremely different from one powder to another, depending on the
consistency and weight etc. Fore more specific information about the capacity in your application, please
contact your local Tapflo distributor, or fill out the inquiry form on our website www.tapflo.com.
