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.
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 6.3. 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.
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 - PE & PTFE series...
The temperature class of the pump depends on the temperature of the pumped medium and ambient temperature. Ambient temperature range depends on pump configuration, follow pump nameplate for allowable range. Contact Tapflo for more information. Temperature class / Temperature class /...
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 1.9. Example of installation 1) Gate valve compressed air...
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.
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.
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. ➢...
Nevertheless, Tapflo recommend to inspect the pump at least once a year and change parts from KIT AIR and KIT LIQ during this inspection. Tapflo recommend KIT VAL to be changed once per 2 years. See chapter 5.11 “Stocking recommendation” for detailed KIT content.
MAINTENANCE 3.4. Location of faults PROBLEM POSSIBLE FAULT POSSIBLE SOLUTION The air pressure is to low Increase air pressure via a filter-regulator The air connection is blocked Check / clean air supply connection Muffler is blocked Check / clean / replace muffler The pump does not run Air valve is defective Clean / replace complete air valve...
MAINTENANCE 3.5. TR9 / TR20 – Disassembly of the pump The numbers put in brackets, refer to the part numbers in the spare part drawings and spare part lists in chapter 5 “SPARE PARTS”. 3.5.1. Before the disassembly procedure Be sure to drain all liquid from the pump. Cleanse or neutralize the pump thoroughly.

O-rings to provide smooth insertion of the air valve. It is recommended to use a pressing device for this operation. NOTE! When inserting the TR9 / TR20 size air valve, replace the shaft with a screw and a nut to make sure the air valve assembly remains properly fastened.
MAINTENANCE 3.7. T50-T800 – Disassembly of the pump The numbers put in brackets, refer to the part numbers in the spare part drawings and spare part lists in chapter 5 “SPARE PARTS”. 3.7.1. Before the disassembly procedure Be sure to drain all liquid from the pump. Cleanse or neutralize the pump thoroughly. Disconnect the air supply and then the suction and discharge connections.

MAINTENANCE Fig. 3.7.5 To remove the spacer sleeve [19], use a plastic rod and a hammer to knock it out. NOTE! Be careful not to deform the spacer sleeve. Fig. 3.7.6 Insert our special tool or pin screw [14] into the orifice in the spacer sleeve [19], rotate it.

MAINTENANCE 3.8. T50-T800 – 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. 3.8.1 When putting the air valve [61] into the centre block [12], apply some water or alcohol on the O-rings to provide smooth insertion of the air valve.
Note! For spare parts list see chapter 5. “Spare parts”. 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.
It provides all the advantages of using a standard Tapflo DT dampener but is a compact solution. The dampener housing is also the pump manifold so you do not have to worry about connecting the dampener to the pump.
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.

5.12. How to order parts When ordering spare parts for Tapflo pumps, please let us know what is the model number and serial number from the pump centre body or housing. Then just indicate the part numbers from the spare parts list and quantity of each item.
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 30 mWC. We choose a T50 pump.
What is more for proper operation and safety the torque values should be checked frequently as part of preventive maintenance (contact Tapflo for interval proposals). Although pump applications vary, a general guideline is to re-torque the pump every two weeks.
