Application
Tapflo were approached by a large European Pharmaceutical Manufacturer who were searching for a compact pump solution to handle a range of process and service applications.
The client requested that some of Tapflo’s core range be incorporated, which included: ATEX PTFE and Stainless Steel AODD Pumps, Active Pulsation Dampeners and Air Control Units. All of which are designed with reliability, robustness, and simplicity in mind.
The solution would handle a variety of different solvents, acids, and pharmaceutical waste products, so safety and efficiency were our top priority. The solution also needed to be robust to be incorporated into the customer’s modern, state of the art pharmaceutical facility.
Pump Solution
Tapflo worked closely with the customer in the product development process to ensure that the solution being designed met all requirements. An integrated skid solution that combined all the customer’s requirements was designed, including 3D modelling.
The skid system included:
- ATEX HDPE/PTFE Diaphragm Pump – models selected below
-
- TXY100-DTX100, TXY200-DTX200, TXBY200-DTX200 – Pump with integrated air treatment system and a dampener on a frame
- TXY400-DTX400 – Mobile pump with integrated air treatment system and dampener
- TX820-DTX820 – Stainless Steel Pump with integrated air treatment system and a dampener on a frame
Why were these pumps selected?
We chose the specific ATEX HDPE/PTFE Diaphragm Pump models for the Pharmaceutical Pump Skid System, as the features and benefits suited the needs of their application.
Some of these features and benefits included:
- Self-Priming
- Solids handling of up to 100mm
- Viscosity of up to 2oocSt
- Pressures of up to 160m and Flows of up to 820 l/min
- Feature no-nut, clean face diaphragms, which reduce the risk of a rupture and therefore leakages of fluid into the pump or surrounding environment.
- They are manufactured from solid block conductive plastic, making them suitable for ATEX environments and handling aggressive liquids such as solvents, acids and waste products.
- Designed with 70% fewer parts, this ensures that the pumps are solid, strong, and easy to maintain a reliable and effective solution.
Results
Tapflo worked closely with the client in every step of the development process to ensure an integrated Pharmaceutical Pump Skid System combined all their requirements, including 3D modelling to show the finished outcome. Safety and efficiency were the top priorities when designing the system, and it was robust when incorporated within the customer’s modern, state-of-the-art pharmaceutical facility.
The client was very impressed with the range and how we were able to quickly and efficiently supply the skid system to the facility and cater to all their needs, whilst upholding a high standard of customer care.
