    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 28: Operation

    For instance, a T100 pump should run continuously at maximum 50 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.
  • Page 29: Pump Stopping

    OPERATION ➢ If the air humidity is high, use of a water separator or air dryer is recommended. Otherwise on the air discharge side due to decompression, icing on the muffler can appear causing it to shrink and eventually it can shoot out of its socket. ➢...

    OPTIONS 4.6. Pump with integrated flanges – T… -3D/-3A Pumps with integrated flanges are a robust and solid design. When there is a risk of transferring of vibration from the installation to the pump, the solid manifolds provide better stability and sealing for the pump. Using this solution we can connect the pump to the installation by a flange (DIN, ANSI) or through a BSP thread.

    TPUK-BP / BPI 14. Principle of operation Tapflo (UK)'s Pneumatic Batcher is a non-intrusive, fully pneumatic predetermining counter system which records pump strokes as a series of low-pressure pulses from the air exhaust of an AODD pump, stopping the pump once a pre-set number of strokes have been recorded, thus controlling the volume of product dispensed by the pump.
