Creating a safe process.

FT Filters are developed to work in various applications, where process quality often relies on the bath filtration. As there are many hazardous substances used, it is of paramount importance to ensure these chemicals are handled in a safe way.

Tapflo is here to provide you reliable solutions that increase both quality and safety of your filtration processes.

Standard FT Filters are delivered with Tapflo Magdrive CTM series pumps, that provide a safe and leakage free operation. Our FT Filters are used widely in the surface treatment industry, where there is a need for liquid purification.

Made in PP, they provide a high resistance for acids and alkalis. They are developed to work with polypropylene filtering cartridges, active carbon filtering inserts, filtering resins combined with bags and FTL Cartridges.

Wound Cartridge (standard)
The most popular filtering insert. Recommended for concentrated acids and alkalis, strong oxidizing agents, corrosive fluids and gases.
FDA and Non-FDA available – Consult Tapflo. Easily incinerated to traces of ash. Excellent microorganism resistance. High dry or wet strength. Equipped with 1, 3, 7 or 15 cartridges.
Available removal rating: 1-50 μm
Bag (for FTB210)
Bag filtration is an economic method of pollution separation, widely used in branches of industries such as automotive, paint and varnish, food, chemical.
The filter bags offered by us are characterised by high chemical compatibility to the filtered medium and thermal resistance. We are also providing an option with activated carbon insert and ion exchange resin insert. For additional information, please contact Tapflo directly.
Available removal rating: 0,5 μm-1200 μm
FTL Cartridge (for FT210)
This is made of polypropylene fabric and grill – its filtration surface is 5m2 for 20 inch cartridge. It gives the advantage of high efficiency and high retention capacity up to 5 kg of sediment. These filter inserts significantly reduces operating costs.
Available removal rating: 10, 50, 100μm
Filter Basket
This option allows the use of oil absorbing polyethylene tape, active carbon and ion exchange resin inserts filled.

Standard

CTM – magdrive centrifugal pumps
The Magdrive Centrifugals are designed and manufactured for chemicals transfer and circulation in surface treatment industries. Tapflo CTM magnetic drive pumps are pumps of the centrifugal type, where the power from the motor is transmitted to the impeller by means of a magnetic coupling.
CTM - magdrive centrifugal pumps

Features & Benefits

  • No leakage
    safe working environment and environmentally friendly
  • Economical operation
    high degree of efficiency and no waste of product
  • Magnetic power transmission
    no mechanical seal problems
  • Safe handling of hazardous fluids
    seal-less pump

Other pump options

Tapflo offers other pumps designed for a harsh chemical environment:

CTP – plastic centrifugal pump
A CTP can be offered installed in the filter housing instead of a standard CTM pump. The CTP pumps are single stage centrifugal pumps with semi-opened impeller. The pumps are ideal for chemical transfer and circulation in surface treatment industries.
CTV – plastic centrifugal vertical pump
A CTV can be installed outside the filter housing with a hose connection for the transfer and circulation of various liquids from containers, sumps and tanks.
