Hose Pump
Hose Pump
Tapflo Pumps (India) is experienced in industrial fluid handling and pump manufacture since 1970, having started with the manufacture of air operated diaphragm pumps. The company offers Tapflo PT, a hose pump of the latest design, combining the best materials with smart design solutions in order to maximise running time and minimise service. The principle of operation of the pumping action is achieved by pinching a circular loop of rubber tube with two diametrically opposed rotating wedges. Due to the rotational movement, the fluid in the tubes is pushed ahead of each wedge. When each wedge reaches the end of the loop, the hose is released and the wedge rotates to the start of the loop to begin a new cycle. As the wedge releases the reinforced tube, it immediately returns to its original shape, thereby ensuring positive suction and priming. This construction makes it a smart and effective choice for a wide range of pump applications. It is particularly suited to abrasive, corrosive, shear sensitive or viscous fluids. Features include: self priming up to 9 metres manometric lift, hoses reinforced with four layers of polyamide doubles the life time of the hose, the drive of the pump is independent of the pumping system which eliminates risk of liquid in the drive, maintenance is done with the pump in the system resulting in a minimum of service time and therefore a more economical pump solution. PT pumps are commonly used for: industrial waste water, waste sludge treatment, flocculent dispersions, flocculated waste, lime liquor, sludge and slurries, ceramic slips and paste, clay suspension and compounds, cement slurries, concrete pumping, ore slurries and leaching pulp, metallic salts, crystallised suspensions, black liquor foam, filter press applications, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, etc. The Tapflo manufacture process is now certified according to ISO 9001:2000. All pumps are also CE-marked and fulfil the demands of the EC machinery directives.
