Member States relating to electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits; Mr Michał Śmigiel is authorized to compile the technical file. Tapflo Sp. z o.o. ul. Czatkowska 4b 83-110 Tczew Signed for and on behalf of Tapflo AB: Håkan Ekstrand Managing director Tapflo AB, 16.04.2016 www.tapflo.com...
The personnel in charge of installation, operation and maintenance of the pumps we produce must be qualified to carry out the operations described in this manual. Tapflo shall not be held responsible for the training level of personnel and for the fact that they are not fully aware of the contents of this manual.
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION 1.1. Operation principle In order to operate the pump, the casing has to be filled with liquid before start-up. The liquid enters the pump casing axially to the shaft. The rotating impeller generates a centrifugal force accelerating the liquid through the pump casing and into the discharge piping.
INSTALLATION 1.5. Environment There should be enough space in the vicinity of the pump in order to operate, maintain and repair it. The area in which the pump is operated, must be sufficiently ventilated. Excessive temperature, humidity or dirt may affect the pump operation. ...
1.7.1. Protection In the interest of health and safety it is essential to wear protective clothing and safety goggles when operating, and/or working in the vicinity of Tapflo pumps. 1.7.2. Electrical safety Do not carry out any maintenance or/and operation on the pump while it is running or before it has been disconnected from the power supply.
INSTALLATION 1.7.7. Rotating parts Do not tamper with the protection of the rotating parts, do not touch or approach rotating parts in movement. 1.7.8. Cleaning and disinfection Cleaning and disinfection of the pump system is of greatest importance when the pump is used in a food process installation.
INSTALLATION 1.9. Instruments In order to ensure a proper control of the performance and the conditions of the installed pump, we recommend using the following instruments: - a pressure-vacuum gauge on the suction piping; - a pressure gauge on the discharge piping. The pressure intakes must be made of straight pieces of piping at a distance of minimum five diameters from the pump inlets.
1.11. Motor standard As a standard Tapflo CT pump are equipped with motors of the following parameters: International Mounting Arrangement – B34 Number of poles / Rotation speed [rpm] – 2 ...
OPERATION OPERATION 2.1. Start-up Check manually that the motor is free to turn, moving the motor cooling fan. Make sure that the piping is not clogged and is free from residues or foreign objects. Make sure that the liquid flows regularly into the pump. ...
OPERATION 2.2. Stopping the pump It is advisable to close the discharge shut-off / regulation valve gradually and stop the motor immediately after. The reverse sequence is not recommendable, especially with larger pumps or longer delivery piping. That is to avoid any problems due to water hammering. If a suction shutoff valve has been installed, it is advisable to close it completely after pump is fully stopped.
OPERATION 2.4. Residual risks Even with proper application and observance of all points listed in this operating manual, there is still an estimable and unexpected residual risk when using the pumps. It may leak, fail due to wear, application-related causes or system-related circumstances. 2.5.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE Maintenance work on electrical installations must be performed by qualified personnel and only when the power supply has been shutoff. Follow the local and national safety regulations. 3.1. Inspections Periodically check suction and discharge pressures. Inspect the motor according to the instructions from the motor manufacturer. ...
MAINTENANCE 3.3. Disassembly of the pump The disassembly should be performed only by qualified personnel. Each operation to be fulfilled with the machine must always be carried out once all the electrical contacts have been disconnected. The pump-motor unit must be placed in a position where it cannot be started unintentionally.

MAINTENANCE Fig 3.3.5 Carefully remove the back casing [12]. The static part [15B] of the mechanical seal will remain in the back casing. Fig 3.3.6 If necessary, push out the static part [15B] of the mechanical seal. NOTE! Apply some alcohol or water before pushing out of the mechanical seal.
MAINTENANCE 3.4. Assembly of the pump The assembly procedure is done in the reverse order to the disassembly. Nevertheless there are a few things that you have to remember in order to assemble the pump correctly. Fig. 3.4.1 Before inserting the static part [15B] of the mechanical seal, fit the back casing [12] onto the back cover [11] and check the seal fitting dimension according to the table below.
Page 20
MAINTENANCE Fig. 3.4.3 – alternative way of assembly „S” dimension can also be set by special Tapflo tool [T]. Put the tool [T] onto the shaft extension [16] and fix it with the screw [191], then lean the tool [T] against internal rim of the back casing [12].
Page 21
MAINTENANCE Fig. 3.4.7 Simultaneously with both hands push the static part [15B] of mechanical seal until the end. Fig. 3.4.8 Ensure that the static par of mechanical seal is evenly spaced around the circumference. NOTE! Check if O-ring does not springs back. It may springs back when O-ring does not reach the surface of the internal rim.
Page 22
MAINTENANCE Fig. 3.4.13 Put a few drops of alcohol on the dynamic part O- ring before mounting on shaft extension [16]. Fig. 3.4.14 Evenly pressing, place the dynamic part of the mechanical seal [15A] onto the shaft extension [16]. Fig. 3.4.15 Assembly the spring of the mechanical seal.
MAINTENANCE Fig. 3.4.19 When assembling the casing, make sure that the O- ring sealing surfaces on the casing [13] and the back casing [12] are clean. 3.4.1. Test run We recommend you to conduct a test run of the pump before installing it in the system, so no liquid gets wasted if the pump leaks or perhaps does not start accordingly to wrong assembly of the pump.

MAINTENANCE Fig. 3.5.10 Unscrew the straight union [1366]. Fig. 3.5.11 Unscrew the casing mounting screws [141] and remove them with the nuts [143] and washers [142]. Fig. 3.5.12 Take off the pump casing [136]. Fig. 3.5.13 Remove the O-ring [18]. NOTE! After every disassembly the O-ring [18] has to be replaced by a new one.
MAINTENANCE Lubricated seal (4Z) only! Fig. 3.5.16 If necessary remove the lip seal [159]. 3.6. Assembly – 4FZ option The assembly procedure is done in the reverse order to the disassembly. Nevertheless there are a few things that you have to remember in order to assemble the pump correctly.
OPTIONS OPTIONS 4.1. Lubricated seal – 4Z A great option when there is a potential risk of dry running, or where the product tends to solidify or crystallize. An oil reservoir is connected to the mechanical seal chamber. The pump is delivered without lube medium in oil reservoir! ...

OPTIONS 4.2. Flushed seal – 4F (API Plan 11) When abrasive sticky particles present, it’s recommended to use a flushed seal system. A small amount of the pumped product is recirculated from the discharge side to the seal chamber to flush solids cumulated in it. It helps to save mechanical seal (15) and back casing (12) from being worn.
OPTIONS 4.3. Heating / cooling jacket – 4J Great protection for the mechanical seal in cases where there is a risk of solidification of the product. The heating jacket is also used when the pumped product has to maintain a specific temperature, high or low.
OPTIONS 4.5. Pump drain – 4K To allow easy draining, the pump casing can be designed with a drain and drain plug. To empty the pump just remove the plug and the casing will drain automatically. As a standard, the drain has a G 3/8” threaded connection. Optional connections like Tri-clamp or hygienic thread can be fitted instead.
4.7. Semi-open impeller – 4H; Reinforced impeller – 4W Tapflo CT pumps can be fitted with a semi-open impeller in comparison to its standard open impeller. This option ensures more stable operation, lower noise, lower vibrations and more robust construction. It is recommended to use the semi-open impeller when hard solids can be present in the pumped liquid.
OPTIONS 4.8. Reinforced pump casing – 4B This option is perfect for CT pumps when the pumped liquid has high penetration properties like paraffin. 4B stands for reinforced front cover which has special groove for O-ring. 4O is for increased number of mounting holes in pump casing, back cover and back casing.
OPTIONS 4.10. External quench – 4Q This option is similar to the lubricated seal option and is recommended when there is a potential risk of dry running, or where the product tends to solidify or crystallize when in contact with air. There is however an added value to this option, as circulating quench liquid removes heat from the mechanical seal.
