Key benefits

	1. Installation flexibility Connections can rotate 180°. Simply rotate the connection to adjust its position to the installation. Plastic connections with BSP or NPT internal threads are supplied as standard. Other versions, including stainless steel, are available on request.
	2. Massive and durable body The pump body is machined from a solid block of PE or PTFE. The massive construction protects against mechanical loads as well as aggressive chemicals.
	3. Low air consumption The air supply system has been designed to minimize all air channels. This allowed the elimination of all “dead spaces”, and consequently achieve maximum pump efficiency.
	4. Design created for chemicals The multi-layer diaphragm has a completely uniform surface (without metal elements) on the medium side. This is an ideal solution for transporting chemicals.

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 the diaphragm’s lifespan.

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 avoids leaks through the diaphragm and keeps 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 design 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 insert molding process. 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 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.

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 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 Run Protection 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 on the suction side 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 Batch Control The batch control unit allows you to set any air-operated diaphragm pump to transfer a precisely defined and repeatable amount of medium.

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 an empty 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.

Due to changes in the way we think about our impact on the environment, we are proud to present EODD – Electric Diaphragm Pumps. The product follows a modern approach but is still based on the original diaphragm pump technology, which has proven to be very effective. We consulted with our customers, who expressed a need for the features and benefits of a traditional diaphragm pump, but with the added advantage of lower operating costs. The pump is powered by a high-efficiency electric motor (IE3 class) and there is no chance of hydraulic fluid leakage, as the pump simply does not need it.

A Filter Press Pump is a specialized type of pump designed to fill a filter press with a slurry or suspension from an external storage or disposal facility, typically used in solid-liquid separation processes, typically at high pressures reaching 24 bar.

Tapflo Filter Press Pumps are known for their robust construction, reliable performance, and ability to handle high-pressure applications with ease. They are equipped with a non-return valve to prevent backflow and are available in various materials to suit different process requirements. Air operated filter press pumps have the unique feature that when the filter press is full, they stop and no additional safety systems are required to shut down the pump (like in case of electrically operated filter press pumps).

Tapflo offers a wide range of centrifugal pumps made of stainless steel and PP and PVDF plastics, including horizontal or vertical pumps, as well as magnetically driven pumps. Available in hygienic and industrial designs, Tapflo centrifugal pumps are among the most versatile pumps currently available on the market. Selected pumps can be designed for safe contact with food and are also available in ATEX explosion-proof versions.

Hose pump is a type of positive displacement pump that can be used to pump a wide variety of liquids. Tapflo industrial hose pumps use the principle of peristalsis, whereby the deformation and compression of a soft elastomer hose allows the liquid to pass through the device.

Pumps of this type are the best solution for delicate, corrosive, abrasive or dry media, including those containing solid particles. The special design, in which only the hose comes into contact with the pumped product, reduces operating costs by reducing wear on internal components and allows operation in very demanding conditions.

The SOMA SINUSOIDAL Positive Displacement Pump works according the Sinusoidal PUMP principle, which was developed by Manfred Sommer in 1982. The Sinusoidal curve shaped rotor is fitted on a pump shaft. Due to the design, four chambers are created in which the product will be transferred very gently – without any shear or damage to the product.
A scraper divides the suction and the pressure side. The rotor does not run against the housing or the cover. That means, that the housing and the cover will never wear out. SOMA offers an unlimited guarantee for the cover and the housing.

IBC containers and drums are widely used in industry – they are the simplest way to store and transport various liquids. Since many of these liquids must be mixed before use in the process, we offer a range of dedicated industrial mixers. These are simple, yet robust and safe to operate, high-quality devices. Designed and configured for common industrial applications, they enable mixing directly in the IBC container or drum. Thanks to the use of mixers, intermediate tanks can be omitted and the process becomes faster and more economical.

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. Filling accuracy below 0.1% ensures optimal production line performance while maintaining the highest industrial and sanitary standards. Suitable for both high- and low-viscosity products.

Responding to the individual needs of users, Tapflo offers the delivery of compact, automated process systems on a “turnkey” basis. Every demand for a non-standard pumping system is an opportunity for us to create a unique, tailor-made SKID system. Thanks to our extensive design and manufacturing capabilities, we provide solutions developed with specific functionality in mind. We offer virtually unlimited possibilities for the development of pumping units, both in terms of mechanics and automation.

Tapflo presents a series of chemical unloading systems designed for every branch of industry where liquids need to be stored, transferred, and dosed. Our solution, based on the use of a diaphragm pump, is suitable for handling viscous liquids, chemically aggressive substances, as well as those containing solid particles.

Several tank sizes can be combined with pumps in various configurations. Additional options allow the system to be tailored to specific needs. In this way, we have created the simplest and most versatile pumping solutions on the market.

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 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 Run Protection 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 on the suction side 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 Batch Control The batch 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 Level Control A fully pneumatic automatic system used to maintain a set liquid level in a tank. Stroke Counter/Low Pressure VFC 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.
