Aseptic diaphragm pumps EHEDG certified
Tapflo aseptic diaphragm pumps designed for the pharmaceutical, biotechnological and food industries, where maintaining the highest purity and hygiene is a priority. They are EHEDG certified, which guarantees that the aseptic diaphragm pump has been built according to the highest hygienic guidelines. Aseptic pumps are tested for cleanability – bacteria do not grow in the pump after it has been cleaned and drained. There are no hidden areas where bacteria could grow.
In addition, these pumps are available in a wide range of FDA and USP VI approved materials and can be used in ATEX explosive atmospheres. The EHEDG aseptic diaphragm pump is designed for Cleaning and Sterilization in Place (CIP and SIP) – it can be easily rotated in the stand for draining.

Empty the pump by turning it on the stand To completely disassemble the pump, simply unclip the clamps securing the nozzles and unscrew the bolts connecting the housing. Then simply rotate the pump to pour out the remaining medium. The design of the pumps in this series allows for full visual inspection of the parts in contact with the pumped medium. There are no hidden spaces where bacteria could grow. The pump can also be cleaned and sterilized directly in the installation (CIP and SIP). |

| Aseptic Diaphragm Pumps with EHEDG Certification
The EHEDG (European Hygienic Motorering & Design Group) certificate guarantees that the design complies with hygienic guidelines. Moreover, the pump has successfully passed the cleanability test, which means that bacteria do not develop in the pump after it has been cleaned and emptied. |

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.
| Magnetic Ball Valve Lifters
The ability to empty the pump contents is crucial in most hygienic applications. The Tapflo ball valve lifting system allows the pump to be emptied without having to dismantle it from the installation when other types of emptying are not possible. This way, the pump can be emptied without having to be turned. Operating principle: The ball valve, made of AISI 420 or PTFE with a steel core, is lifted by a magnetic lifter attached to the manifold. |

| Extended Life Diaphragms
Tapflo diaphragms are composite constructions, ideal for operation in harsh conditions, providing a completely uniform surface in contact with the medium. This avoids leakage 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. ![]() The advanced manufacturing, curing, trimming, and finishing process ensures a long service life for 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. |

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 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. Available material versions: EPDM, NBR, PTFE, PTFE TFM 1635, PE1000, FKM, PU, Ceramic, SiC, AISI 316L. |

| Alarm system | GuardianTM
The GuardianTM 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 GuardianTM 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:
