    Possible applications of Tapflo pumps and industrial equipment

    Transport of raw materials and products at every production stage

    Tapflo food-grade 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 allow liquids to be pumped from one production stage to another in a way that preserves the product's consistency. They are perfect for transporting viscous media. 

    Pumping high-viscosity liquids

    Our hygienic pumps are designed to transfer high-viscosity media – we offer food-grade 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 from various materials suited to the target medium – even if it is dense or viscous. We will help you select the right pump for your specific application and propose suitable components for your process.

    Dosing and filling

    A food pump precisely doses ingredients, which is especially important in food production. It can also be used in machines for filling bottles, cans, or other packaging with food products. Dosing accuracy affects the texture and quality of the final product.

    Homogenization

    A key process in the food industry, which allows for the creation of a homogeneous mixture of two components. For example, in the dairy industry, homogenizers are used to uniformly disperse fat in milk, which prevents its separation. The Tapflo homogenizer enables operation in the most complex applications, such as milk homogenization.

    Mixing

    Mixing ingredients is crucial in many stages of food production. Our mixers and mixing stations are simple yet robust, high-quality devices that are safe to operate. They enable direct mixing in an IBC container or a drum, allowing you to skip intermediate tanks, making the process faster and more economical.

    Transport of delicate liquids

    The food industry requires the transport of shear-sensitive liquids, such as yogurts, creams, or proteins. The specific design of a food-grade pump (e.g., a peristaltic pump, a lobe pump, or a diaphragm pump) available from Tapflo, minimizes mechanical damage to the structure of the pumped substance.

    Flow control

    Food production requires precise control of the flow of raw materials and semi-finished products at various stages of production. This control ensures that the final product maintains high quality and consistency. For example, in dairies, hygienic valves ensure safe and effective control of the transfer of milk, whey, yogurts, or cream. Tapflo food-grade valves (butterfly, mixproof, ball, and other valves) help prevent bacterial contamination and maintain the proper consistency of the products.

    Maintaining hygiene and cleanliness

    Every Tapflo hygienic device and pump meets the highest hygiene standards. Our products are designed to be easy to clean and disinfect (e.g., in CIP (cleaning in place) and SIP (sterilization in place) systems).
