Key benefits

	1. Optional Camlock connections The metal series diaphragm pumps can be ordered with CAMLOCK connections, which consist of two parts: a male and a female part, which contains a seal. They work by placing the male part into the female part and locking it by manually pressing the securing elements.
	2. Durable valve seats Valve seats are exposed to erosion caused by the impact of the valve balls. To ensure the highest durability, the seats embedded in the casting are made of AISI 316 steel.
	3. Installation flexibility The ports can be rotated 180°. Simply rotate the port to adjust its position to the installation. Plastic ports with BSP or NPT internal threads are supplied as standard. Double ports are also available.
	4. Low air consumption The air supply system has been designed to minimize all air channels. This has eliminated all “dead spaces” and consequently achieved maximum pump efficiency.

Operation principle

The Tapflo diaphragm pump is powered by compressed air. Two diaphragms work alternately, pushing liquid into the pumping system. Ball valves act as check valves, directing the liquid in the right direction.
During each cycle, the air pressure behind the discharge diaphragm is equal to the liquid lift height on the medium side. This means that Tapflo diaphragm pumps can operate with a closed discharge valve without negatively impacting diaphragm life.

SUCTION

The retracting diaphragm creates a vacuum, and thus the phenomenon of medium suction.

DISCHARGE

The second diaphragm simultaneously transfers air pressure to the medium in the second diaphragm chamber, pushing it towards the discharge port.

Construction

Long-life diaphragms Tapflo diaphragms are composite constructions, ideal for working in harsh conditions, providing a completely uniform surface in contact with the medium. This allows to avoid leaks through the diaphragm and keep it clean. Diaphragms are available in various materials and colors to suit all needs. Available material versions: EPDM, NBR, FKM, PTFE, PTFE TFM 1705b, white EPDM, PTFE with white EPDM backing, white NBR. Composite diaphragm construction The advanced manufacturing, curing, trimming and finishing process ensures a long service life of the composite diaphragm, which will last for many millions of strokes. The component materials are specially made and adapted to the composite diaphragm technology and the molding process with pressing. The elements are joined using chemical agents and adhesives.	(1) PTFE TFM layer (2) front layer (3) core (metal) (4) fabric (5) back layer
	Economical power supply – air distributors The air distributor, which redirects compressed air to the chambers behind the diaphragms, is the heart of the pump. The distributor is located in the center of the pump between the diaphragms to minimize the air path and dead spots. This design is the key to reliable and economical operation. Thanks to a special sealing system, the distributor does not require lubrication. This not only saves money, but also protects the environment. Available material versions: brass, PET and AISI 316L stainless steel
Ball check valves Tapflo pumps are equipped with four check valves to ensure that the liquid is pumped in the right direction. Ball valves are the simplest and most reliable check valve design. They are characterized by tightness and ease of cleaning and replacement. Available material versions: EPDM, NBR, PTFE, PTFE TFM 1635, PE1000, FKM, PU, Ceramic, SiC, AISI 316L.

Smart Energy-Saving Pumps | TC Series

The TC series smart pumps are a modification of standard diaphragm pumps by equipping them with LEAP technology introduced by Tapflo. LEAP® or “Low Energy Air Pump” is a patented technology used in air-operated diaphragm pumps to reduce the minimum operating air pressure by reducing internal losses and friction compared to standard pumps. LEAP uses an intermediate system that detects the position of the diaphragm shaft, automatically controlling the diaphragm movement.

The pump with LEAP® technology can start pumping at a pressure of 0.3 bar without blocking – in the test, the pump achieved 70% of its maximum capacity before other pumps even started. This means energy savings of up to 70%.

Features and Benefits:

Retrofit – fits any Tapflo AODD pump,
Noise reduction – using lower air pressure reduces pump noise,
Available for plastic, metal and hygienic pumps,
Extended equipment life,
Dosing – the pump allows automatic stopping after the required volume has been dispensed,

Alarm System \| Guardian^TM The Guardian^TM system is an energy-saving device designed to protect an air-operated double diaphragm pump from inefficient operation, which consumes unnecessary energy and shortens the life of parts. It also increases work safety in high-risk applications. The Guardian^TM system monitors the liquid pressure, changing it if the pressure value rises or falls below the set value. It thus controls pumps in the following cases: Barrier protection – Tapflo double diaphragm pumps (TB series barrier pumps) have an additional set of backup diaphragms. In the event of a leak, the liquid remains inside the pump instead of leaking through the air outlet. The system monitors the pressure between the main and backup diaphragms, stopping the pump if the pressure exceeds the set point. Dry start and stop – the system monitors the pump’s liquid discharge pressure. It stops the pump if the pressure drops below the set point, caused by a lack of medium at the suction and air being drawn into the pump. Pump blockage and restart – the system monitors the pump’s liquid discharge pressure. It stops the pump if the pressure rises above the set point, caused by a closed valve or overpressure in the discharge line. If the pressure drops below the set point, the pump automatically resumes operation.
Control Systems \| TPUK We offer many solutions that increase the functionality and flexibility of the pump installation, as well as enable control of the pump or system. Pneumatic Dosing Control The dosing control unit allows you to set any air-operated diaphragm pump to transfer a precisely defined and repeatable amount of medium. These devices are fully programmable and allow you to set a specific amount (TPUK-BP) or a specific operating time (TPUK-BT). Pneumatic Medium Level Control A fully pneumatic automatic system used to maintain a set liquid level in a tank. VFC Stroke Counter/Low Pressure A volt-free contact (VFC) stroke counter is available for integration with PLC systems. Lifetime Counter Indicates the total number of strokes made by the pump throughout its operating life. A compact, easy-to-use system will allow you to control servicing and implement planned preventive maintenance.
Filter-Regulator and Needle Valve Set By using this set, the pump will always operate with the appropriate air quality and optimal pressure and speed, which will save energy and extend the life of the pump components. The set includes a filter-regulator, pressure gauge, wall bracket, needle valve and/or water separator. The filter is 5 microns and the regulator is 0-12 bar and is available in sizes from 1/8″ to 3/4″ for all sizes of Tapflo air-operated diaphragm pumps. Features and benefits: optimal quality and pressure of air supplied to air-operated diaphragm pumps, energy savings, extended life of pump components.

Types of installation

FLOODED SUCTION	SELF-PRIMING	SUBMERSIBLE

Installation designed with positive pressure on the suction side. This is the best solution when it is necessary to completely empty the tank or when pumping high-density media.	The design of Tapflo diaphragm pumps allows them to operate with high vacuum. It is possible to start the pump with vacuum on the suction side and this does not cause any damage to the device. Suction lift is up to 5 meters from a dry pipeline and up to 8 meters from a wet pipeline. The suction capacity depends on the pump size.	All Tapflo diaphragm pumps can be installed as submersible. It is important to check the chemical resistance of all elements that will be in contact with the medium. A condition for pump operation is to discharge the air outlet from the pump above the liquid level using a suitable hose.

SLES* is an organic chemical compound with excellent cleaning and foaming properties. For this reason, it is commonly used in the production of cleaning agents, soaps, shampoos, and household chemicals. SLES is typically supplied to manufacturers of these liquids at a 70% concentration, and due to its physical properties, such a concentrated solution is difficult to process and must be diluted below 27% before being used in the production line. Our system enables continuous dilution with maximum efficiency and safety, reducing costs for the company in the long term.

Achieving precise mixing of ingredients to obtain the desired final product—while maintaining strict proportions, accuracy, and sequence—poses a major challenge for industrial manufacturers. The mixer was created specifically for this purpose. It is based on a system for diluting concentrated ingredients such as SLES. However, it has been designed in a modular way, allowing us to easily configure the system to meet actual production needs. The ingredients of the final product can be drawn from various types of tanks.

Precise and repeatable filling operations with our versatile container filler. Designed for applications requiring high accuracy and compatibility with various containers and products, from small-volume containers to large industrial drums.

saThe use of protection systems ensures not only efficient but also safe operation of diaphragm, lobe, gear, screw, and centrifugal pumps. Protection systems detect hazardous situations and respond immediately, for example by automatically shutting down the device. The pump protection solutions offered by Tapflo operate based on dedicated sensors. These include media presence sensors such as optical indicators, as well as tuning fork and capacitive sensors designed to detect the presence of a medium or to monitor its level in tanks or pipelines.

Tapflo presents a series of hygienic covers designed specifically for diaphragm pump users. The stainless steel housing is durable and sealed, effectively isolating the pump from its surroundings. Filled with a dedicated insulation mat, the hygienic covers are an ideal solution for acoustic or thermal separation of the pump. Tapflo industrial covers combine user-friendly design with high-quality materials. Built to last, they will serve reliably for years in nearly any application.

Alarm System \| Guardian^TM The Guardian^TM system is an energy-saving device designed to protect an air-operated double diaphragm pump from inefficient operation, which consumes unnecessary energy and shortens the life of parts. It also increases work safety in high-risk applications. The Guardian^TM system monitors the liquid pressure, changing it if the pressure value rises or falls below the set value. It thus controls pumps in the following cases: Barrier protection – Tapflo double diaphragm pumps (TB series barrier pumps) have an additional set of backup diaphragms. In the event of a leak, the liquid remains inside the pump instead of leaking through the air outlet. The system monitors the pressure between the main and backup diaphragms, stopping the pump if the pressure exceeds the set point. Dry start and stop – the system monitors the pump’s liquid discharge pressure. It stops the pump if the pressure drops below the set point, caused by a lack of medium at the suction and air being drawn into the pump. Pump blockage and restart – the system monitors the pump’s liquid discharge pressure. It stops the pump if the pressure rises above the set point, caused by a closed valve or overpressure in the discharge line. If the pressure drops below the set point, the pump automatically resumes operation.
Control Systems \| TPUK We offer many solutions that increase the functionality and flexibility of the pump installation, as well as enable control of the pump or system.
