  • Page 7: General

    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.
  • Page 8: Installation

    1.1. Operation principle The Tapflo diaphragm pump is driven by compressed air. The two diaphragms are connected by a diaphragm shaft and pushed back and forth by alternately pressurising the air chambers behind the diaphragms using an automatically cycling air valve system.
  • Page 9: Lifting And Transportation

    Suction and discharge piping should be fully supported and anchored near to but independent of the pump. The piping connected to the pump should be a hose, to prevent undue stress and strain on the pump connections and the piping. IOM manual Tapflo Metal Series...
  • Page 10: Rotary Connections

    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. IOM manual Tapflo Metal Series...
  • Page 11: Explosion Hazardous Environments - Atex

    1.7.3. Air pressure The maximum air pressure for Tapflo pumps is 8 bar. Higher air pressure than 8 bar can damage the pump and may cause injury to personnel in vicinity of the pump. If you intend to apply a higher air pressure than 8 bar, please consult us.
  • Page 12: Noise Level

    1.7.4. Noise level At tests, the noise level from a Tapflo pump has not exceeded 85 dB(A). Under some circumstances, for example if the pump is operating under high air pressure at low discharge head, the noise can be inconvenient or hazardous for personnel staying for long periods in the vicinity of the pump.

    3) Needle valve to adjust the air flow (especially when operating the pump in the lower range of performance); 4) Filter. These components are included in Tapflo’s Air treatment system which can be ordered from 1.9. Example of installation 1) Gate valve compressed air...
  • Page 14: Recommended Installations

    INSTALLATION 1.10. Recommended installations The Tapflo pump is flexible in the way you are able to install it. The in- and outlet ports can be rotated more than 180° to fit various piping systems. 1.10.1. Flooded The piping system is designed with a positive suction head.
  • Page 15: Operation

    For instance, a T120 pump should run continuously at maximum 80 l/min. ➢ As stated in chapter 0 Tapflo recommends to use an appropriate air treatment system in order to extend the pump’s lifetime.
  • Page 16: Pump Stopping

    2.6. Actions in emergency In case of transferred liquid leakage, the air supply have to be closed and the pressure released. During spillage of an aggressive liquid, local and national safety rules must be followed. IOM manual Tapflo Metal Series...
  • Page 17: Maintenance

    The characteristics of the liquid, temperature, materials used in the pump and running time decide how often a complete inspection is necessary. Nevertheless, we recommend to inspect Tapflo pumps at least once a year by the end user. Parts from KIT AIR and KIT LIQ should be changed during inspection.

    Fig. 3.6.5 When assembling the diaphragms [15], the first step is to screw the grub screw into one of the diaphragms as much as possible. IOM manual Tapflo Metal Series...
  • Page 22: 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. After a few weeks of operation retighten the screws with appropriate torque. IOM manual Tapflo Metal Series...

    * Only for TD70 and TD120 pump sizes 4.2. Twin connections – TT… Tapflo pumps can be fitted with double inlet/outlet. This allows to have “two pumps in one”. It is used for blending, mixing or recirculation of liquids. Both pump chambers are separated so, the liquid does not mix.
  • Page 28: Filter Press Pump - Tf

    OPTIONS 4.3. Filter press pump – TF… The Tapflo filter press pump is a ready, compact product that can be installed directly on the filter press. The pump is equipped with a booster which amplifies the pressure in a 2:1 ratio. As a result we can achieve up to 16 bar on the discharge of the pump (depending on pump size).
