1. INSTALLATION
1.5.1
Air treatment system
The air valve is constructed for oilfree air. Lubrication of the air is
not allowed.
However, if the air
is
very dry
(laboratory air), the air may be lubricated with water. Maximum air pressure is 8 bar. As
prevention purpose, a filtration of the air by means of a 5 micron filter or finer is recommended. Dirt
in the air can under unfortunate circumstances be the cause of breakdown.
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
4) Filter
These components are included in Tapflos
Air treatment system
which can be ordered from us.

Example of installation
1) Gate valve compressed air
2) Filter and pressure regulator
3) Flexible hose
4) Needle valve
5) Flexible piping
6) Gate valve suction
7) Gate valve discharge
8) Coiled flexible piping
9) Flow gauge
1.7
Recommended installations
The Tapflo pump is flexible in the way you are able to install it.
1.7.1
Flooded
The piping system is designed with a positive suction head. This is the best way of installtion where
it is necessary to completely evacuate all liquid from the container, or where viscous (thick) products
are transfered.
1.7.2
Selfpriming
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 5 meter (16.4 ’) from an empty suction
pipe and up to 8 meter (26.2’) from a wetted pipe. The suction capability depends on the pump size
(see chapter 5)
