Powder Pump Series

The powder transfer pump is based on a standard Tapflo air operated diaphragm pump.

The powder is transferred by means of two diaphragms, which alternately prime the powder from the container in the first cycle and discharge to the process in the second cycle.

The powder transfer pumps are modified from the standard PTFE coated aluminum series. The PTFE coating enables an efficient transfer through the pump, with least possible resistance.

Pumps
The powder transfer pumps are ATEX marked, allowing use in explosion hazardous zones (group IIG/IID, category 2).

What kind of powders?
The powder transfer pump will handle different types of process powders, with specific weight from 80 up to 720 kg/m3 dry weight. Generally, if the powder does not clump together when you squeeze it in your hand, the Tapflo powder transfer pump can be used successfully. A few examples of common powders are sintering powder, carbon black, resins and silicones.

What are the benefits?

Reduced contamination - The powder is transferred in a hermetic system from the powder container to your process.

Economical and compact solution - The powder transfer pump can do the same job as many complex and large powder systems. The compact design also makes the unit portable.

No start up problems - The air induction system eliminates powder pack up problems when starting the pump. Air is induced to the powder side of the pump for diffusion of the powder. The induction flow can manually be adjusted by means of a needle valve to obtain a optimum performance.

Health & Safety - Convenient and safer than manual powder handling
