0. GENERAL

0.1. Introduction

The Tapflo Air Operated Diaphragm Pump range is a complete series of pumps for industrial applications. The pumps are designed to be safe, simple and easy to use and maintain. The construction is seal-less and without rotating parts. The pumps are suitable for almost all different chemicals used by the industry today.

With proper attention to maintenance, Tapflo Pumps will give efficient and trouble free operation. This instruction manual will familiarise operators with detailed information about installing, operating and maintaining of the pump.

The Tapflo pump for filter press feeding is a very compact unit that can be mounted directly to the filter press. The design and function allows the user a straightforward pressing of slurries.

A pressure regulator is already mounted on the unit. The pumps are based on standard metal and plastic Tapflo pumps. An external pressure booster doubles the delivery pressure. For example, with available air pressure of 7 bar, the delivery pressure will be maximum 14 bar.

When installing, operating and maintaining of the pump unit you must strictly follow the IOM manual. Otherwise injury or life hazard may occur.

0.2. Warning symbols

The following warning symbols are present in this instruction manual. This is what they say:

This symbol stands next to all safety instructions in this instruction manual where danger to life and limb may occur. Observe these instructions and proceed with utmost caution in these situations. Inform also other users of all safety instructions. In addition to the instructions in this instruction manual, the general safety and accident prevention regulations must be observed.

This signal stands at points in this instruction manual of particular importance for compliance with regulations and directives, for correct work flow and for the prevention of damage to and destruction of the complete dampener or its subassemblies.

0.3. Qualification and training of personnel

The personnel in charge of installation, operation and maintenance of the pumps we produce must be qualified to carry out the operations described in this manual. Tapflo shall not be held responsible for the training level of personnel and for the fact that they are not fully aware of the contents of this manual.

1. INSTALLATION

IOM manual Tapflo TF series 6

1. INSTALLATION

1.1. Operation principle

The Tapflo diaphragm pump is driven by compressed air. The two diaphragms are connected by a diaphragm shaft and pushed back and forth by alternately pressurising the air chambers behind the diaphragms using an automatically cycling air valve system.

The Suction Cycle:  Suction

One diaphragm creates a suction action in one chamber (right side) when being pulled back from the housing.

 Discharge

The other diaphragm simultaneously transmits the air pressure to the liquid in the second chamber (left side) of the housing, pushing it towards the discharge port.

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 negative effect to the life of the diaphragms.

1.2. Receiving inspection

Although precaution is taken by us when packing and shipping, we urge you to carefully check the shipment on receipt. Make sure that all parts and accessories listed on the packing list are accounted for. Immediately report any damage or shortage to the transport company and to us.

1. INSTALLATION

IOM manual Tapflo TF series 7

1.3. Lifting and transportation

Before handling the pump check the weight of the pump (see 6.3. Technical data). Refer to Your local standards on how to handle the pump. If the weight is excessive to transport by hand it must be lifted using slings and a suitable lifting device e.g. a crane or forklift. Always use at least two slings and make sure they are secured in such a way to prevent the pump from slipping and that the pump unit is hanging straight. Never lift the pump with only one sling. Incorrect lifting can cause serious injury and/or damage to the pump.

Never lift the pump under pressure. Be careful that nobody passes under the pump when lifted. Never try to lift the pump by the manifolds or hoses attached to the pump. As an option pumps can be equipped with lifting eyebolts connected with the pump pinscrews.

1.4. Storage

If the equipment is to be stored prior to installation, place it in a clean location. The pump

should be stored in an ambient temperature of 15°C (59°F) to 25°C (77°F) and relative humidity

below 65%. It should not be exposed to any heat source e.g. radiator, sun as this could result in a negative way on the tightness of the pump. Do not remove the protective covers from the suction, discharge and air connections which have been fastened to keep pump internals free of debris. Clean the pump thoroughly before installation.

1.5. Foundation

Plastic pumps are equipped with vibration absorbing rubber feet. The pumps will operate properly without being fixed to a foundation. If fixation is needed for installation purposes, make sure the foundation is able to absorb vibrations. It is essential for the operation of the pump to mount the pump with the feet in a downward direction.

1.6. Suction and discharge piping

Suction and discharge piping should be fully supported and anchored near to but independent of the pump. The piping to the pump should be a hose, to prevent undue stress and strain on the pump connections and the piping.

1. INSTALLATION

IOM manual Tapflo TF series 8

1.6.1. Rotary connections

The suction and discharge connections can be rotated 180°. This simplifies the assembly and installation of the pump. If you wish to rotate the connections, screw a threaded nipple into the connection and rotate it. On the larger models TF200 and TF400 it will be easier if the housing nuts are slightly released while turning the connections.

1.6.2. Connection of suction pipe

Remember that the suction pipe/connection is the most critical point, especially if the pump is priming. Just a small leakage will dramatically reduce the suction capability of the pump. When connecting the suction pipe, the following is recommended:

For satisfactory operation, use a reinforced hose (the suction power may otherwise shrink the hose) or other flexible piping. The internal diameter of the hose should be the same as on the suction connection (at the bottom of the pump) to have best suction capability.

Make sure that the connection between the hose and the pump is completely tight, otherwise the suction capability will be reduced.

Always use as short suction pipe as possible. Avoid air pockets which can emerge within long piping.

1.6.3. Connection of discharge pipe

For this connection it is only recommended to have a simple and positive flow connection. Use a hose or flexible piping (minimum one meter) between the discharge connection and any rigid fixed piping. Coil the hose at least one turn. All components (hose, pipe, valves etc.) on the discharge piping must be designed for minimum PN 16.

1.7. Health and safety

The pump must be installed according to local and national safety rules.

The pumps are constructed for particular applications. Do not use the pump on applications different from that for which it was sold without consulting us to ascertain its suitability.

1.7.1. Protection

In the interest of health and safety it is essential to wear protective clothing and safety goggles when operating, and/or working in the vicinity of Tapflo pumps.

1. INSTALLATION

IOM manual Tapflo TF series 9

1.7.2. Explosion hazardous environments – ATEX

The standard PE, PTFE and SS series pumps are not allowed to operate in environments where there is danger of explosion. Static electricity may occur in the pump under operation, which may cause explosion and injury. Special conductive TXF pumps are available for such applications. All our aluminium and cast iron pumps are by standard ATEX approved. Follow below instructions and local/national rules for safe use. For use in explosion hazardous environment a special booster is required (see chapter 4.2). Booster ATEX classification is II 3 GD c T6. Please contact us for more details. As a general rule it is recommended to install the booster outside of the hazardous area. ATEX (directive 94/9/EC) classification of Tapflo TX pumps:

ATEX II 2 GD IIB c T4

Equipment group: II – all other explosive areas than mines; Category group: 2 – high level of protection (can be used in zone 1); Atmosphere: G – gas; D – dust; Explosion group: IIB – such as ethylene; Type of protection: c – constructional safety; Temperature class: T4 – in the event of a malfunction, the maximum temperature of a surface that may be exposed to gas T4 = 135 °C.

Earth connection of the pump and other equipment

Connect a suitable earth wire to the stainless steel earth connection that is placed on the inside of one of the pump housings. Connect the other end of the earth wire to earth and also make sure that other equipment like hoses/pipes/containers etc. are properly earthed/connected.

1.7.3. Air pressure

The maximum air feed pressure for Tapflo TF pumps is 8 bar for sizes TF50, TF70, TF100 and TF120, 7 bar for TF220 and 6 bar for sizes TF200, TF420 and TF400. This is the air pressure that is supplied to the pressure booster. As a result the pump will be supplied with 16 bar, 14 bar and 12 bar respectively. To withstand this high pressure the pumps, as a standard, are equipped with a special, hybrid air valve which is equipped with a PET piston and in case of plastic pumps, two stainless steel reinforcement plates. Higher air pressure can damage the pump and may cause injury to personnel in vicinity of the pump. If you intend to apply a higher air pressure than 8 bar, please consult us.

1. INSTALLATION

IOM manual Tapflo TF series 10

1.7.4. Noise level

At tests, the noise level from a Tapflo pump has not exceeded 85 dB(A). Under some circumstances, for example if the pump is operating under high air pressure at low discharge head, the noise can be inconvenient or hazardous for personnel staying for long periods in the vicinity of the pump. This hazard can be prevented by:

 using suitable ear protection;  lowering the air pressure and/or raising the discharge head;  leading out the outgoing air from the room by connecting a hose to the muffler

connection of the pump;

 using elastomer valve balls (EPDM, NBR or polyurethane) instead of PTFE, ceramic or

stainless steel, provided that the elastomer is compatible with the pumped liquid.

1.7.5. Temperature hazards

 Raised temperature can cause damage on the pump and/or piping and may also be

hazardous for personnel in the vicinity of the pump/piping. Avoid quick temperature changes and do not exceed the maximum temperature specified when the pump was ordered. See also general max temperatures based on water in chapter 5 “DATA”.

 When the pump is exposed to ambient temperature variations or if there is big difference

between the temperature of the product and the surrounding, the tightening torques of the housing nuts should be checked periodically as part of preventive maintenance.

 If a hot product is pumped, the pump should not stand still when filled for a longer period

of time. This could cause leakage from the valves and contamination and/or damage of the air valve.

 Below 0°C (32°F) plastic materials become more fragile what can cause accelerated wear of

parts made of these materials. This is a hazard that has to be accepted when pumping such cold products. Also in such case, when a pump is not operational it should be drained of all liquid.

 Bear in mind that the viscosity of the product changes with temperature. This has to be

taken into consideration when selecting the pump.

1. INSTALLATION

IOM manual Tapflo TF series 11

1.8. Air connection

Screw the air hose into the air intake on the booster. For best efficiency, use the same hose diameter as the internal diameter of the connection on the air intake.

1.8.1. Air treatment system

The air valve is constructed for oil-free air. Lubrication of the air is not allowed. However, if the air is very dry (laboratory air), the air may be lubricated with water. As prevention purpose, a filtration of the air by means of a 5 micron filter or finer is recommended. Recommended air quality according to PN-ISO8573-1:2010 is particles class 6, water class 4 and oil class 4. Dirt in the air can under unfortunate circumstances be the cause of a breakdown. If a compressor used to generate compressed air is not fitted with an air dryer it is recommended to use a water separator to remove the extent of water from the prepared air.

To facilitate the operation of the pump we recommend an air treatment system connected to the air supply. These components should be included:

1) Regulator to adjust the air pressure;

2) Manometer to read the actual pressure;

3) Needle valve to adjust the air flow (especially when operating the pump in the lower range of performance); It is recommended to install the needle valve between the booster and pump

4) Filter. These components are included in Tapflo’s Air treatment system which can be ordered from us.

1.8.2. Pressure ratio 2:1

The pressure booster has the function to transmit the primary pressure (from air supply) to an output pressure of up to twice as much. The pressure ratio between the input and output side is, by default, set to 2:1.

1.9. Example of installation

NOTE! Do not exceed 0,7 bar suction pressure! Higher pressure may cause premature diaphragm failure and irregular pump operation.

1. INSTALLATION

IOM manual Tapflo TF series 12

1.10. Scope of supply

As a standard the pump is supplied with the following items:

1. Complete pressure booster: a. Quick air connection for air supply b. Muffler c. Pressure regulator d. Two manometers – input and output pressure

2. Reinforcement plates (plastic pumps only)

3. Mounting plate with screws

4. Air connection between the pump and the booster

NOTE!

Even if all above safety instructions are met and complied with, there still exists a minor danger in the event of a leakage or mechanical damage of the pump. In such case the pumped product can emerge on sealing areas and connections.

2. OPERATION

IOM manual Tapflo TF series 13

2. OPERATION

2.1. Before starting the pump

 Make sure the pump is installed according to the installation instruction (chapter 1).

 Filling of the pump with liquid before start is not necessary.

 When installation is new or reinstalled, a test run of the pump with water should be

conducted to make sure that the pump operates normally and does not leak.

 When installation is new or reinstalled, check the pump housing nuts tightening torque

(see chapter 5.5 “Tightening torques”). After approximately one week of operation, the torque should be checked again. This is important to prevent possible leakage.

2.2. Starting and operation

 Open the discharge valve.  Note! Considering the suction capacity when air is still in the suction pipe, it is

recommended to start with low air pressure/flow (slowly) at the beginning. This is not necessary if the pump is filled with liquid before start.

 When the pump has been filled with liquid, the air pressure/flow may be raised in order

to increase the suction capacity of the pump. Remember that suction capacity is higher when pump runs slowly.

 The performance of the pump can be adjusted through the air supply by using a needle

valve and a pressure regulator. The performance can also be adjusted by normal flow control on the discharge side of the system.

2.2.1. Dry running

Although the pump is prepared for dry running it is important to have in mind that long periods of dry run may cause damage to the air valve and circlips. What is more, an empty pump should operate at low speeds – controlled by a needle-valve.

2.2.2. Optimization of the pump lifetime

 Running at full frequency (maximum air pressure/flow) continuously will cause

premature wear of the components. As a general rule, we recommend to run at half of the maximum capacity of the pump. For instance, a TF100 pump should run continuously at maximum 50 l/min.

 As stated in chapter 1.8.1 Tapflo recommends to use an appropriate air treatment

system in order to extend the pump’s lifetime.

 If the air humidity is high, use of a water separator or air dryer is recommended.

Otherwise on the air discharge side due to decompression, icing on the muffler may appear causing it to shrink and eventually it can shoot out of its socket.

 If the ambient air is humid, icing can occur outside of the muffler. In such case it is

recommended to use a longer exhaust of the compressed air (ca. 500 mm / 19,7’’).

2. OPERATION

IOM manual Tapflo TF series 14

 If there is possibility of freezing at the air exhaust, it is good to pre-heat the air before it

reaches the air intake in order to raise the dew point of the air. NOTE! Make sure that the air temperature does not exceed 50°C (122°F).

 If icing / freezing is still a problem with the standard muffler, we recommend using our

heavy duty metal muffler. Contact us for more information.

2.2.3. Booster operation conditions

In principal the booster is designed for intermittent operation. It cannot be used as a replacement for a compressor. During continuous work the lifetime is significantly decreased due to overheating of the device and increased wear of the seals.

 In order to obtain optimal lifetime it is advised that the discharging frequency be

not higher than 0,33 Hz (once pressure discharge per 3 seconds). The exact rest periods cannot be determined generally because they depend on the discharge frequency and heat removal conditions.

 It is recommended that for every hour of booster operation at least a 5 minute rest

period is foreseen. If these conditions are difficult or impossible to fulfil, it is recommended to use an air reservoir in the installation.

 To increase the booster lifetime a bypass installation can be used in order to relieve

the booster at lower pressures when the filter press is not yet filled.

 Maximum temperature of air supplier to the booster cannot be higher than 25 ºC.  Recommend air quality is 6:4:4 according to PN-ISO8573-1:2010.

2.3. Pump stopping

The pump can be stopped in two ways:

1) By closing of the discharge valve. The pressure from the system will stop the pump

automatically. The pump restarts easily when the valve is opened again. NOTE! When using this method keep in mind that air must be supplied to the pump. This is essential to keep the diaphragms in balance what protects them from premature failure.

2) By cutting off the air supply. NOTE! When using this method make sure that the discharge valve is opened to relief the pumps pressure.

3. MAINTENANCE

IOM manual Tapflo TF series 15

3. MAINTENANCE

3.1. When the pump is new or reassembled

If the pump is new or reassembled after maintenance it is important to retighten the pump housing nuts (pos. 37) after a few days of operation.

Make sure to use the right torque – see chapter 5.5 “Tightening torques”.

3.1.1. Performance test

When installation is new, a test run of the pump should be conducted. Gauge the capacity at specific air pressure/flow. This information is useful for checking performance in the future as wear takes place. You will be able to set schedules for maintenance of the pump and to select spare parts to be kept on stock.

3.2. Routine inspection

Frequent observation of the pump operation is recommended to detect problems. A change in sound of the running pump can be an indication of wearing parts (see chapter 3.4 "Location of faults" below). Leaking liquid from the pump and changes of performance may also be detected. Routine inspections should be conducted frequently.

3.3. Complete inspection

The intervals for a complete inspection depend upon the operation conditions of the pump. The characteristics of the liquid, temperature, materials used in the pump and running time decide how often a complete inspection is necessary. If a problem has occurred, or if the pump is in need of a complete inspection, refer to chapters 3.4 "Location of faults" and 3.5, 3.7 "Dismantling of the pump". You are of course warmly welcome to consult us for further help. Parts that are subject to wear should be kept in stock, see our recommendations in chapter

4.7 “Stocking recommendation”.

If a client’s air supply line is already equipped with air treatment system (filter-regulator, manometers etc.) it is

possible to order the pump with “plain” booster without

additional equipment. In such case, the output pressure is always doubled in comparison to input pressure. For this option, please use “19D” in pump code, e.g. TF100

PTT-19D.

4.5. Pump prepared for booster assembly

Tapflo pumps can be fitted only with reinforcement plates prepared for booster assembly but without the booster itself. The pump will also have assembled the hybrid air valve with PET piston. This way the pump is prepared for high pressure applications and the end user can install the booster on the pump by himself. For this option, please use “11F” in pump code, e.g. T100 PTT-11F.

4.6. Pump with reinforcement plates

Tapflo pumps can be supplied only with plain, stainless steel reinforcement plates to make the construction more robust. This way the pump is prepared for high pressure applications and the end user can supply the pump with compressed air from his installation. For this option, please use “11S” in pump code, e.g. T100

PTT-11S.

4. OPTIONS

IOM manual Tapflo TF series 30

4.7. Pump with aluminium centre body

To increase pump lifetime for high applications we recommend to use pumps with aluminium centre body. This material is more resistant to high pressure than our standard PP.

For this option, please use “6A” in pump code, e.g. T100 PTT-6A.
