How Tapflo pumps workThe Tapflo diaphragm pump is driven by compressed air. The two diaphragms, con-nected by a diaphragm shaft, are pushed back and forth by alternately pressurising the air chambers behind the diaphragms using an automatically cycling air valve system.

First cycle... Second cycle...

Suction (1)One diaphragm creates a suction action when being pulled back from the hou-sing.

Discharge (2)The other diaphragm simul-taneously transmits the air pressure to the liquid in the housing, pushing it towards the discharge port.

During each cycle the air pressure on the back of the discharging diaphragm is equal to the head pressure on the liquid side. Tapflo diaphragm pumps can the-refore be operated against a closed discharge valve with no adverse affect to the life of the diaphragms.

How to install Tapflo pumpsThe Tapflo pumps are flexible in their ease of installation. The in- and outlet ports are infinitely turnable more than 180° in to fit your piping system (PE & PTFE and metal series pumps).

FloodedThe piping system is designed with a positive suction head. This is the best way of installtion where it is neces-sary to completely evacuate all liquid from the container, or where viscous (thick) products are transfered.

SelfprimingThe 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)

SubmergedAll 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.

The Tapflo pump range...

PE & PTFE seriesCompact and robust design from machined PE or PTFE. Polyethylene (PE) has a wear resistance 6-7 times higher than PP and 1,5 times higher than steel, which makes the PE pump ideal for abrasive slurries. The PTFE pump even resists the most aggressive liquids such as concentrated nitricacid.

Metal seriesThe series consists of 5 sizes covering the cap-city range between 0 and 420 l/min. Materials available are aluminium, cast iron, stainless steel and PTFE coated aluminium. The compact, smooth and simple design is common for all different sizes.

Sanitary seriesThe Tapflo sanitary series is particulary designed to meet the special requirements of the food industry. Lubrication free airvalve maintenance free ball check system and total visual inspec-tion of all wetted parts. This enables safe and efficient transfer of foods, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

Key components of the Tapflo pumpThree major components are especially vital for the function of the pump...

Long life diaphragmsThe two diaphragms are doing the work to prime and push the liquid through the pump system. Tapflo diaphragms are of sandwich compound construction, superior for continuous heavy duty service. The solution with an integrated metal core, provides a completely smooth sur-face in contact with the liquid, without any nuts or washers. This results in no leak through and a diaphragm which is easy to keep clean. The diaphragm is available in PTFE (food grade), EPDM, white EPDM (food grade), NBR (nitrile) and FKM (vi-ton, on certain models only).

Pollution free air valve The air valve is the driving heart of the pump, distributing the compressed air to the chambers behind the diaphragms. It is made for mainte-nance free duty with no lube air, thanks to the ingenious sealing system. It will not only save your money for lubrication, it will also save your environment from pollution. The Tapflo air valve has no deadlock position – the pump will always start automatically when air is supplied to the pump. The valve body is made from brass or optional stainless steel AISI 316.

Ball check valvesThe Tapflo pump is fitted with four check valves, making sure that the liquid is transferred in the right direction through the pump. The valve is of ball valve type, the most simple and reliable valve design. It has a good sealing capability and is easy to keep clean and to replace if ne-cessary. The valve ball is available in EPDM, NBR (nitrile), PTFE, AISI 316, polyurethane and ceramic to suit any kind of liquid.

PE & PTFE seriesPE & PTFE series

Pe & PTFE series pumpsTapflo pumps made from polyethylene (PE) or PTFE are suitable for handling almost any kind of liquid whether it is viscous, chemically aggressive or with solids.

Polyethylene pumpsPolyethylene (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 pumpsPTFE (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.

The PE & PTFE pump range

TR9 - 9 l/min, 1/4” TR20 - 20 l/min, 3/8”T50 - 50 l/min, 1/2”T100 - 100 l/min, 1”T200 - 200 l/min, 1 1/2”T400 - 400 l/min, 2”T800 - 800 l/min, 3”

Special versions

TF filterpress pump stationsThe Tapflo pump station for filter-press feeding is a very compact unit that can be mounted di-rectly to the filterpress. The design and function allows the user a straightforward pressing of slur-ries. Pressure regulator 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.

Twin pumps TTTapflo metal series pumps may be equipped with double in/outlet to achieve ”two pumps in one” for blending, mixing or circulation of liquids. The liquid in one pump chamber is separated from the other one.

PrintingTransfer and cir-culation of printing ink

PTFE coated pumpsAluminium pump include all wetted parts coated with PTFE, is equipped with stainless steel in/outlet ports. The model was de-veloped for the printing industry where a low price alternative of the PE/PTFE pumps was required but aluminium not chemically resistant. It can be used for all sorts of applications where slightly acidous or alkaline liquids need to be transferred.

However, in applications with highly aggressive chemicals, we still recommend our full plastic PE & PTFE series pumps.

Capacity changes

Performance curvesThe performance curves are based on water at 20°C. Other circumstances might change the performance. See below how the capacity will change at different viscosities and suction lifts. These curves are valid for all metal pumps.

Example (see the red line):A flow of 12 liter/minute is desired. The discharge pressure is calculated to 3 bar. We choose a T25. It requires an air pressure of 6 bar and will consume approximately 0.18 m3 air per minute.

Active pulsation dampeners

Active pulsation dampener in PE or PTFE.

Active pulsation dampener in aluminium or stainless steel AISI 316.

The active pulsation dampener is the most efficient way to remove pressure variations on the discharge of the pump. The Tapflo pulsation dampener works actively with compressed air and a diaphragm, auto-matically setting the correct pressure to minimise the pulsations. The pulsation dampener is available for all Tapflo pump sizes and material versions.

How it worksWhen the liquid pressure falls in the piping system, the pulsation dampener supply extra pressure to the discharge between the pump strokes by displacing liquid by means of diaphragm movement. This pumping action created by the dampener, decreases the pressure variations and pulsations.

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 mechanical 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 com-pletely tolerant of most media and is therefore much safer than conventional systems. Some of the advantages are;

Prevents & contains spills associated with diaphragm failure in air driven pumps

Continually monitors barrier pumps, tanks, vessels & pipe workfor leaks

Inherently safer than other barrier systems on the market

Guardian alarm system

In case of a diaphragm break, the unit will stop the pump and turn on the horn or give signal to PLC. Leaking liquid in case of a diaphragm break, will remain in the chamber between the wetted diaphragm and the backup diaphragm. This system grants for a high level of safety in plants where liquid is never allowed to leak.

Pneumatic batch control unit

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 pressure switch (placed in the counter unit).

Filling containers of various volumes with a T50 Let us say that you are using a T50 to fill containers of the sizes 5, 10 and 25 litres. What you first once have to do is to manually prime the different volumes and record have many strokes the pump needs. For future batching, just enter the number of strokes and press ”start”. The batch unit will start the pump, count down and finally stop the pump when the batch is finished.

Technical data

Size of counter unit (mm): 160 x 140 x 120For pump models: All Tapflo pumpsMaterial of junction box, protection: ABS plastic, stainless steel on request

The strokes from the pump are sensed from the pressure of the outgoing air. The system is easy to apply on all Tapflo pumps.

Just set the desired number of strokes and press ”start” and the pump will automatically transfer the desired volume.

Pneumatic level control system

This ingenious system is operated with pneumatic components only. The level control system may be installed in sumps, tanks or tubs to start and stop the pump at certain liquid levels. This system is allowed for use also in explosion hazardous areas, thanks to the absence of electricity. Evacuating liquid from a sumpThe end of the hose ”low” (1) (or end of extension pipe) is placed on the desired low level in the sump and the end of the hose ”high” (2) is placed on the high level position. As the liquid is reaching the high level hose, the pump will start and pump until the liquid level is reaching the end of the low level hose. It is a very accurate system, sensing the levels within a few millimetres.

Technical data

Size of level control unit (mm): 200x120x90For pump models: All Tapflo pumpsMaterial of junction box and protection: ABS plastic or stainless steel on request

Tapflo Pneumix Technology

The Pneumix... was predominantly de-veloped for the paint and ink industry where most raw materials in drums or contai-ners 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.

The Pneumix works both as product transport pump as well as mixer

Increased productivity and reduced waste with Pneumix The Pneumix utilises the container the product arrives in to mix and dispense and simply fits securely in the vessels fill hole. Increasing productivity by reducing waste and further product handling.

Some benefits with the Pneumix...

Eliminates problems with conventional mixing

No need for pumping to mixing vessel

No paddles or rotating blades

Fully controllable pneumatic operation and control

No moving parts utilises pump power to mix & dispense

Variable agitation

No shear

No air entrainment

Closed vessel mixing system

Reduced environmental exposure

Increased product life and performance

Suits all containers up to 1000 litre IBC

No modification to vessel

Available in wide range of materials

36


Tapflo Pneumix Technology

How it functions…The Pneumix works both as a mixer and as a transfer pump:

Mixing modeThe discharge valve is closed and the recirculation valve is open, to allow the product to circulate in the container

Transfer modeThe discharge valve is open and the recirculation valve is partially open, to both mix and to transfer the product out of the Pneumix

Pneumatic mixing systemOffer enclosed product handling – reducing worker or environmental exposure, spillage and contamination. Hazardous, sensitive or volatile products are securely protected within their container. All contributing towards a clean, safe working environment.

Batch and mixThis system allows the product to be mixed and batched when it is needed, reducing time, increasing product life and minimising waste.

Variable agitationMeans the mixing action can be matched to the specific product or application.

SafetyAir operated control and operation means no electrics are necessary.

No start up problemsThe air induction system elimi-nates powder pack up problems when starting the pump. Air is induced to the powder side of the pump for diffusion of the powder. The induction flow can manually be adjusted by means of a needle valve to obtain a optimum performance.

Reduced contaminationThe powder is transferred in a hermetic system from the powder container to your process.

Economical and compact solutionThe Tapflo powder transfer pump can do the same job as many com-plex and large powder systems. The compact design also makes the unit portable.

What kind of powders?The powder transfer pump will handle different types of process powders, with specific weight from 80 up to 720 kg/m3 dry weight. Generally, if the powder does not clump together when you squeeze it in your hand, the Tapflo powder transfer pump can be used successfully. A few examples of common powders are sintering powder, carbon black, resins and silicones.

Tapflo powder transfer technology

How it worksThe powder transfer pump is based on a standard Tapflo air operated diaphragm pump. The powder is transferred by means of two diaphragms, which alternately prime the powder from the container in the first cycle and discharge to the process in the second cycle.

CapacityThe 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.

Safe in EX-zonesThe powder transfer pumps are ATEX marked, allowing use in explosion hazardous zones (group IIG/IID, category 2).

Available models - dataThe powder transfer pumps are modified from the standard PTFE coated aluminium series. The PTFE coating enables an efficient transfer through the pump, with least pos-sible resistance.
