The galvanic industry plays a key role in the production of a variety of metal components, which are essential in many industries such as automotive, electronics, construction, home furnishings and even the manufacture of tourist equipment. In galvanizing processes, it is essential to use equipment designed to work in aggressive environments - with chemicals, acids or alkalis.

Tapflo products for the galvanic industry
Tapflo's extensive product range allows you to choose the right machine for the galvanic industry. We offer among others:
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 plating 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?
High chemical resistance – we offer plating pumps made of polyethylene (PE HD), pure polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, the so-called Teflon), PVDF, ETFE, PFA or other materials which are characterised by high chemical resistance. This allows them to pump very aggressive chemicals such as concentrated acids and bases. We also have pump models for special applications, made of acid-resistant steel or electropolished steel - perfectly protected against corrosion.
Pumps with sealless design – no mechanical seals and total hermeticity - essential for hazardous, aggressive or valuable media used in plating processes.
Design for the galvanizing industry – We offer galvanizing pumps with a simplified design that reduces the risk of failure and also simplifies potential maintenance work. An excellent example of this are the CTV vertical pumps, which can be installed in galvanic baths.
High filtration accuracy – our electroplating bath filters are designed for harsh industrial environments. Their robust design ensures a safe and reliable daily working environment with both acids and alkalis. At Tapflo we provide reliable solutions that enhance both the quality and safety of the surface treatment process.
Easy cleaning of the equipment – Tapflo pumps allow cleaning or sterilisation without removing the equipment from the plant. This is called CIP or SIP cleaning, which significantly speeds up maintenance and allows the galvanic lines to be back in operation as quickly as possible.
Unloading of drums with chemicals – fast unloading of up to 4 drums at the same time, possibility of transferring lithium-based lubricants NLGI class 3, inks, paints, resins, coatings, sealing compounds and others.
Possible applications for Tapflo pumps and industrial equipment
Our rulers are perfect for many electroplating processes, such as:
Circulation of galvanic solutions:
Galvanization requires continuous circulation of electrolytes, necessary to maintain a uniform concentration of chemicals throughout the galvanizing tank. This, in turn, translates into an even application of the metal coating to the workpieces. Tapflo offers, among others, diaphragm pumps that are designed to handle acids, solvents, anode slurries, lacquers or enamels. We also recommend the CTM magnetic centrifugal pumps, which can pump acids and alkalis, chemical reagents, slurries, oils, lubricants and coolants or detergents during surface treatment. The special design of the CTV vertical pumps allows them to pump chemicals for the formation of chrome-nickel coatings.
Liquid filtration
Pumps are used to pump solutions through filters that remove impurities and deposits. Cleanliness of the solution is key to achieving high quality plating - whether it is chrome plating, zinc plating, copper plating, cadmium plating, oxidising, nickel plating, phosphating or anodising. Tapflo galvanic filters are designed to keep galvanic baths clean by removing contaminants, sludge and particles. The use of high performance filters ensures high quality of the final plating product and extends the life of the plating baths.
Filling and emptying the tank or galvanic bath
Tapflo chemical pumps enable fast and efficient filling and emptying of plating tanks, which is important when changing solutions or cleaning tanks. We enable the transfer of chemicals from tanks, containers and baths, for example during etching, electroplating and degreasing. Our pumps are also used for pumping waste after processes.
Temperature control
In many installations, pumps are part of the cooling or heating systems for plating solutions. This circulation of cooling or heating liquid allows the temperature of the entire process to be maintained. In such cases, Tapflo valves can also be used - for example in installations where the temperature of the plating solutions must be maintained within a certain range. Our valves can regulate the liquid flow and maintain the correct thermal conditions.
Flow control of electroplating solutions
Tapflo valves enable precise control of the flow of electrolytes and other chemicals in electroplating process installations. Tapflo industrial valves can be used to control the flow of the medium, to close or open the flow of liquids or gases at specific times in the process. For example, they can be used to shut off the flow of chemicals during maintenance or system failures.
Mixing control and process safety
In the processes used in the galvanic industry, proper mixing of chemicals is important. Equipment for the galvanic industry can precisely regulate the amount of each substance added to the mixture. Safety valves are key in preventing uncontrolled leaks and overloading of systems, for example by automatically shutting off the flow when excessive pressure is detected. Dosing pumps are used for precise and repeatable dosing of mixtures. The safety of everything in the process also depends on the suitable material design of our equipment - we have machines made of AISI 316L stainless steel, aluminium, plastic (PP, PE, PVDF or PTFE) or special executions available as an option.
