TAPFLO SOLUTIONS EQUIPMENT
We understand that every business has unique needs, which is why we offer personalised solutions tailored to specific requirements. Our team of engineers is always on hand to advise and help you choose the best solution.
Tapflo Solutions is a division created in response to demanding and unusual market needs, going beyond the scope of our standard offer. We specialise in designing out-of-the-box solutions to meet the most challenging customer requirements.
The equipment created by SolutionsTM is a complete solution for increased comfort and safety, such as stationary and mobile systems for unloading media from tanks, drums or IBCs, mixers and mixing stations or systems for SLES production.
We also add functional modifications to the standard equipment in the Tapflo portfolio, for example by increasing its mobility, adjusting its dimensions or introducing advanced safety and control systems.
We also offer a wide range of products designed to protect Tapflo equipment from damage or atmospheric factors - e.g. thermal or acoustic shielding.
The solutions developed by Tapflo Solutions are widely used in the food industry. This includes:
- unloading drums of highly viscous media,
- unloading of containers,
- mixing of products in IBC containers (pallet-boxes, Mauser),
- mixing powders with liquids,
- dilution of concentrates,
- homogenising the viscous components of final products,
- addition of flavouring and aroma substances,
- mixing of solids before unloading the container,
- homogenisation.
WHY CHOOSE TAPFLO PRODUCTS?
Food grade material – each Tapflo hygienic appliance is made of food grade components, e.g. stainless steel or plastic, complying with FDA and EU 10/2011 (including seal).
Transfer of media with different viscosity, temperature and solid content, trouble-free dry pumping, high-pressure pumping.
The possibility of cleaning food pumps in CIP or SIP systems – cleaning or sterilisation on site while the pipework is being flushed and without having to remove the pump from the system.
Increased production efficiency – the use of Tapflo equipment in industrial production lines results in better automation and reduced downtime. This translates into minimised process time, as well as savings in operating costs and high operating efficiencies.
High quality construction and long life in the harshest working conditions – Each Tapflo product meets all hygienic and sanitary standards. The design of our equipment is based on the highest quality materials. As a result, we are able to ensure a long life of the equipment, often exceeding customer expectations.
Maintaining the highest quality of processed products – our machines excel at handling shear-sensitive products, maintaining their integrity.
Wide range of equipment – our range includes food equipment and pumps to suit every liquid commonly used by food manufacturers.
40 years' experience in providing solutions for food manufacturers – we supply a lot of equipment for the food industry every year.
POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS FOR TAPFLO PUMPS AND INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT
Tapflo equipment is widely used in the food industry and plays a key role in various production processes:
Transport of raw materials and products at each production stage
Tapflo food pumps can be used to transfer food raw materials (e.g. fresh milk, juices, fruit drinks, fruit pulps, chocolate masses, etc.) within production plants. They enable liquids to be transferred from one stage of production to another in such a way that the pumped product remains consistent. They are ideal for transporting concentrated media.
Pumping high-viscosity liquids
Our hygienic pumps are designed for the transfer of highly viscous media - we offer food pumps for syrups, honey, wine, fruit pastes, creams or sauces. Our wide range includes every type of pump: equipped with special impellers and seals, made of different materials to suit the target medium - even if it is thick or viscous. We will help you select a pump for your specific application and suggest the right components for your process.
Dosing and filling
The food pump accurately dispenses ingredients, which is particularly important in food production. It can also be used in machines that fill bottles, cans or other packaging with food products. The accuracy of dosing has an impact on the texture and quality of the final product.
Homogenisation
A key process in the food industry to produce a homogeneous mixture from two ingredients. For example, in the dairy industry, homogenisers are used to uniformly disperse the fat in the milk, preventing it from stratifying. The Tapflo homogeniser makes it possible to work on the most complex applications, such as milk homogenisation.
Mixing
Mixing ingredients is crucial in many stages of food production. Our mixers and mixing stations are simple, but robust and safe to operate, high-quality equipment. They allow mixing directly in the IBC or in the barrel, so intermediate tanks can be omitted and the process becomes faster and more economical.
Transport of sensitive liquids
The food industry requires the transport of liquids that are sensitive to shear, such as yoghurts, creams or proteins. The specific design of the food pump (e.g. peristaltic pump, lobe pump or diaphragm pump) available from Tapflo minimises mechanical damage to the structure of the pumped substance.
Flow control
The production of foodstuffs requires accurate control of the flow of raw materials and intermediates at various stages of production. Such control helps to ensure that the final product maintains high quality and consistency. An example is dairies, where hygienic valves ensure a safe and effective control of the transfer of milk, whey, yoghurt or cream. Tapflo food valves (butterfly valves, mixproof valves, ball valves and others) avoid bacterial contamination and maintain the consistency of the products.
Maintaining hygiene and cleanliness
Each of Tapflo's equipment and food pumps meets the highest hygienic standards. Our products are designed to be easy to clean and disinfect (e.g. CIP (cleaning in place) and SIP (sterilisation in place) systems).

HYGIENE CERTIFICATES
Pumps and equipment used by food manufacturers must comply with strict hygiene standards, such as Food and Drug Administration (FDA) certification, Sanitary Certificate 3-A or EC Regulation 1935/2004. The materials used to manufacture them must be corrosion-resistant and easy to clean to prevent food contamination.
The food pumps we offer meet all these requirements, reducing the risk of bacterial growth and contamination in the production process. Their design allows for the pumping of highly shear-sensitive media, thus ensuring that product integrity is maintained throughout the system. Our equipment can also be used in ATEX hazardous areas.
Tapflo food pumps are compliant with the following standards:
| FDA-approved materials, | 3-A sanitary certificate, | EC Regulation 1935/2004, | material certificate 3.1 in accordance with EN 10204, | compliance with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU. |
