The 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 surface 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 and FKM (FKM on certain models only).

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

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
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

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

In case of a diaphragm break, the unit will stop the pump and turn on the horn.

This system will immediately alarm and shut of the pump at an eventual diaphragm break. It ensures that no liquid will leak to the environment or to the air system of the pump - a perfect system where you require a high level of safety.

The system consists of a backup diaphragm pump (TB), and a control and alarm system. Under normal operation, the chamber between the backup diaphragm and the wetted diaphragm is set to vacuum by the control system. If any of the diaphragms would break, the pressure will rise in the vacuum chamber. The control system will then switch of the pump and turn on the horn. This system is allowed for use also in explosion hazardous areas, since only pneumatic components are used.

Technical data

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.

The level control system will sense the liquid level within a few millimetres

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 sump
The 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.

The air supply to the pump is controlled by the level system

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.

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.

Mixing mode
The discharge valve is closed and the recirculation valve is open, to allow the product to circulate in the container (left)

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 (right)

Pneumatic mixing system
Offer 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 mix
This system allows the product to be mixed and batched when it is needed, reducing time, increasing product life and minimising waste.

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.

Materials and sizes
The Pneumixers are available in Stainless steel AISI 316, PP (polypropylene). Other materials upon request. Available for all Tapflo pump sizes 1/2" up to 2".

The air valve is the driving heart of the pump, distributing the compressed air to the chambers behind the diaphragms. It is made for maintenance 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.

Trouble free, safe and clean transfer of process powders

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. 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. Air induction system 1) Process powder 2) Valve ball 3) Diaphragm 4) Non return valve 5) Needle valve 6) Air induction line No start up problems The air induction system eliminates 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. How it works The 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. 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 click here to fill out the inquiry form on our website www.tapflo.com. Safe in EX-zones The powder transfer pumps are ATEX marked, allowing use in explosion hazardous zones (group IIG/IID, category 2). Available models - data The powder transfer pumps are modified from the standard PTFE coated aluminium series. The PTFE coating enables an efficient transfer through the pump, with least possible resistance. Available models are TXP220 XEES, 1 1/2" TXP420 XEES, 2".
