AIR OPERATED DIAPHRAGM PUMPS-4

Tapflo diaphragm pumps » Working principle | Fast Facts | Features & Benefits Working principle Tapflo diaphragm pump is driven by compressed air. Two diaphragms are working simultaneously to prime and push the liquid through the pump system. Valve balls work as check valves to let the liquid through in the right direction. During each cycle the air pressure on the back of the discharging diaphragm is equal to the head pressure on the liquid side. Tapflo diaphragm pumps can therefore be operated against a closed discharge valve with no adverse effect to the life of the diaphragms. Suction One...

AIR OPERATED DIAPHRAGM PUMPS-5

Tapflo diaphragm pumps How to install Tapflo pumps Tapflo Pumps are flexible and easy to install. The in- and outlet ports can rotate 180° to fit your piping system (PE & PTFE and metal series pumps). Flooded The piping system is designed with a positive suction head. This is the best way of installation where it is necessary to completely evacuate all liquid from the container, or where viscous (thick) products are transferred. Self-priming The Tapflo pump is designed to pull a high vacuum. It is able to evacuate an empty suction pipe without any damage to the pump. The suction lift is up to...
