1.7.2. Air pressure
The maximum air pressure for FP/FH series pumps is 7 bar. Higher air pressure than 7 bar 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 7 bar, please consult us.
1.7.3. Noise level
At tests, the noise level from a FP/FH pump has not exceeded 80 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;
1.7.4. 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.
Please
contact Tapflo for tightening intervals recommendation.

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.
1.8. Air connection
Screw the air hose into the air intake of the pump with for example a bayonet coupling. 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
Maximum air pressure is 7 bar. 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 7, water class 4 and oil class 4. Dirt in the air can under unfortunate
circumstances be the cause of a breakdown. The air valve is constructed for oil free
air.
Lubrication of the air increases the lifetime of the pneumatic parts. But when the air once is
lubricated, the lubrication never may be interrupted. For more details please contact your
Tapflo representative.
