  • Page 9: General

    0.1. Introduction The Tapflo Hose Pump range is a series of pumps for industrial and hygienic applications. The pumps are designed to be safe, simple and easy to use and maintain. The pumps are suitable for almost all different liquids used by the industry today.
  • Page 10: Nameplate

    The nameplate is made in the below design. It is made of AISI 304 stainless steel and placed on the pump stand or discharge flange bracket. Nameplate dimensions are 38 x 48 mm. PTL pumps PXTL pumps IOM manual Tapflo PTL Hose pumps...
  • Page 11: Installation

    1.1. Operation principle The Tapflo hose pump is driven by a gear-motor. The rotor is installed directly on the shaft and is equipped with rollers. The rollers compress the hose creating vacuum on the suction side of the pump and pressure on the discharge to transfer the liquid. The rotary movement of the rollers compresses the hose along the casing wall, constantly sucking/pushing the liquid through the hose.

    (possibly eccentric on suction side and concentric on discharge side) at changes of diameter and at a minimum distance from pump connections of five diameters. IOM manual Tapflo PTL Hose pumps...

    1.8.1. 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. 1.8.2. 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.
  • Page 14: Potentially Explosive Atmospheres - Atex

    1.8.3. Potentially explosive atmospheres – ATEX The standard PTL series pumps are not allowed to operate in potentially explosive atmospheres. Special PXTL pumps are available for such applications. Follow ATEX supplementary instructions (see section 7) and local/national rules for safe use.

  • Page 18: Operation

    The performance of the pump can be adjusted by means of a frequency inverter. The flow depends on direction of rotation and can achieve full capacity in both directions of rotation. IOM manual Tapflo PTL Hose pumps...
  • Page 19: Dry Running

    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. IOM manual Tapflo PTL Hose pumps...
  • Page 20: Disposal After Expiration Of The Expected Lifetime

    When fluid leakage occurs, the power supply has to be closed and the pressure released. During spillage of an aggressive liquid, local and national safety rules must be followed. IOM manual Tapflo PTL Hose pumps...
  • Page 21: Maintenance

    In case any of the above is not fulfilled, do not start the pump and implement corrective actions. Establish a preventive maintenance schedule based on the pump’s service history. Scheduled maintenance is especially important to prevent spills or leakage due to hose failure. IOM manual Tapflo PTL Hose pumps...
  • Page 22: Complete Inspection

    The characteristics of the liquid, temperature, materials used in the pump and running time decide how often a complete inspection is necessary. Nevertheless, Tapflo recommends to inspect the pump at least once a year. If a problem has occurred, or if the pump is in need of a complete inspection, refer to chapters 3.5 "Location of faults"...
