Aluminium and cast iron pumps
For transfer of pH-neutral fluids, both thin, thick, high solid content or abrasive. The aluminium and cast iron pumps are found in most fields; workshop and paint industries, purifying plants etc., to mention only a few.
AISI 316 stainless steel pumps
Made in lost wax cast method, ensuring great accuracy and finish. The stainless steel pumps combine great mechanical strength with good chemical features. AISI 316 is resistant to aggressive liquids like nitric acid and sodium hydroxide. The centre block, which is not in contact with liquid, is made from corrosive resistant polypropylene (PP) as standard (other materials upon request).
| Industry | Example of applications |
|---|---|
| Workshop | Oils, fats, solvents, water, cooling fluids, lubricants |
| Print & paint | Glues, additives, varnishes, inks, paints, latex, acids, resins, pigments |
| Mining & construction | Adhesives, sumps, dewatering, coal sludges, pastes |
| Ceramic industry | Abrasives, glazes, water, enamels, clays |
| Chemistry | Acids, alkalis, alcohols, solvents, latex, emulsions |
Light and mobile solution for emptying drums and containers Pumps TAPFLO TD series are irreplaceable in such applications.
The pumps are fitted with a drum tube in aluminium or stainless steel and a handle in AISI 316L stainless steel.
The Metal drum pumps range
TXD25 – 25 l/min, ½” suction and discharge
TXD70 – 70 l/min, ¾” suction and discharge
TXD120 – 120 l/min, 1” suction and discharge
Customizable tube length The drum tube is delivered in any length up to 2 m
Highly mobile and versatile Pumps can be easy moved between different drums and containers
Handy and convenient Compact pump equipped with comfortable handle
To ensure process automation TAPFLO has developed a pneumatic drainage system. Thanks to this feature, the pump can be drained without detaching from the installation.
Available for sizes: T120 | T220 | T420
This option is a great way to empty the pump of liquid if there is no possibility of pump disconnection from the installation.
With this easy solution you can simply raise the ball from the valve seat and allow the liquid to flow out of the pump.
Available for sizes: T70 | T120 | T220 | T420
The ATEX directive 2014/34/EC (also known as ATEX 114) is applicable on products intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
All aluminium and cast iron pumps are by standard ATEX approved, having model names TX… The standard stainless steel pumps are not allowed to operate in hazardous environments. Special conductive TX pumps are available for such applications. All plastic parts utilized in such pumps are made from conductive (carbon filled) materials allowed for use in explosion hazardous environments. What is more ATEX pump are equipped with a grounding connection.
They can be used in Ex-zone 1. The conductive material ensures that no electrostatic loads will be accumulated on any of pump surfaces.
TAPFLO metal series pumps may be equipped with double in/outlet to achieve ”two pumps in one” for blending, mixing or circulation of liquids. The liquid in one pump chamber is separated from the other one
Transfer of two different liquids, two pumps in one
Mixing of two liquids with one pump (50/50 ratio)
Transfer and return of printing ink from storage to ink tray
Transfer and agitation of liquids with one pump (installation example above)
* = Recommended flow is half of the max flow, i.e. recommended flow for a T120 is 79 l/min (20.8 US gpm). ** = The value is based on pumps with PTFE diaphragms (other materials – please contact TAPFLO). It should be remembered that the volume per stroke may vary depending on the pump’s operating parameters. *** = This is max value with stainless steel valve balls, other valve ball materials may reduce the suction. Please consult us. **** = Not available on TX820.
