0.1. Introduction The Tapflo Air Operated Diaphragm Pump range is a complete series of pumps for industrial applications. The pumps are designed to be safe, simple and easy to use and maintain. The construction is seal-less and without rotating parts. The pumps are suitable for a variety of duties in hygienic installations.
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.
INSTALLATION 1.3. Lifting and transportation Before handling the pump check the weight of the pump (see 6.4. Technical data). Refer to Your local standards on how to handle the pump. If the weight is excessive to transport by hand it must be lifted using slings and a suitable lifting device e.g. a crane or forklift. Always use at least two slings and make sure they are secured in such a way to prevent the pump from slipping and that the pump unit is hanging straight.
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 - Sanitary series...
125°C T4 - 135°C If ambient temperature exceeds the range -20°C ≤ Ta ≤ +40°C, contact Tapflo. Earth connection of the pump and other equipment Connect a suitable earth wire to the stainless steel earth connection that is placed on the inside of one of the pump housings.
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.
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 Air quality classes 1.8.2. ISO 8573-1:2010 Compressed Air Contaminants and Purity Classes...
1.10.2. Self-priming The Tapflo pump is designed to pull a high vacuum. It is able to evacuate an empty suction pipe without any damage to the pump. The suction lift is up to 5 meters (16.4 ft.) from an empty suction pipe and up to 8 meters (26.2 ft.) from a wetted pipe. The suction capability depends on the pump size (see chapter 6.
For instance, a T80 pump should run continuous at maximum 40 l/min. ➢ As stated in chapter 1.8.1 Tapflo recommends to use an appropriate air treatment system in order to extend the pump’s lifetime.
2.4.1. CIP – Cleaning In Place The importance of easy cleaning is essential in hygienic applications. Tapflo aseptic pumps are designed for CIP (Cleaning In Place) and SIP (Sterilization In Place). This allows the pump to be internally cleaned without disassembly. The pump can be cleaned by flushing through with a CIP fluid (usually a mild solution of sodium hydroxide and a sanitizing additive) or by injection of hot steam (SIP).
2.4.1.1. Drainage of the pump (T80 – T825) After the CIP procedure, the pump usually has to be drained from the CIP fluid. The Tapflo sanitary series is supplied with a hygienic stand, enabling 360° rotation of the pump unit.
The characteristics of the liquid, temperature, materials used in the pump and running time decide how often a complete inspection is necessary. Nevertheless, Tapflo recommend to inspect the pump at least once a year and change parts from KIT AIR and KIT LIQ during this inspection. See chapter x.x “Stocking recommendation”...

OPTIONS OPTIONS 4.1. Valve options In pump sizes T80 - T425 flap valves and heavy duty ball cup valves are available as an option to standard ball valves. What is more, T825 pump size can also be configured with flap valves.
OPTIONS 4.1.2. Ball cup valves This option is a perfect solution when there is risk of damage to the valve seats from the product. If such situation is to occur there is no need to replace the whole manifolds or housings, just the valve cup what drastically reduces the spare parts cost.
OPTIONS 4.3. Magnetic ball lifters New magnetic ball lifters have been implemented in pump sizes T80 - T225. They are implemented to enable pump emptying when no other draining option is available. Rotating the pump is no longer needed. The balls are lifted by simply attaching the magnets to the pumps manifold. Valve balls are available in AISI 420 magnetic stainless steel or PTFE wits steel core.

DATA DATA 6.1. Capacity curves The 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. Example: A flow of 30 litre/minute is desired. The discharge pressure is calculated to 25 mWC. We choose a T80 pump.
