Our ATEX Diaphragm Pump in HDPE & PTFE is manufactured from solid block conductive (carbon-filled) plastic, making it well-suited for use within equipment group IIG (gas), Cat 2 (Zone 1) and Zone 0. These pumps feature the same solid block design of the standard Plastic Diaphragm Pumps in our range, with diaphragms available in PTFE (with conductive back) or EPDM (conductive). This self-priming pump, capable of handling solids up to 100mm and viscosities up to 200 cSt, ensures optimal protection in ATEX Zones 0, 1 and 2.

Variations
Our TX ATEX Diaphragm Pump is constructed from conductive (carbon filled) plastic, HDPE or PTFE and can be supplied for use within Equipment group IIG (gas), Cat 2 (Zone 1). The conductive material ensures that no electrostatic loads will accumulate within the pump. The conductive pigments in the material reduce the surface resistance to less than 105 W. The pigments cause the black colouring but do not affect the chemical resistance of the thermoplastics that the pump is made from.
The TX ATEX Pump has diaphragms in PTFE (with conductive back) or EPDM (conductive). An earth connection is mounted on the pump, for earthing of electrostatic loads. The TX variant can be supplied across all sizes of Tapflo’s AOD Pumps.
Our TZ ATEX Pump covers ATEX Zone 0. This is available across the full Tapflo ATEX AOD range for use in continuously high-risk environments.
- CAT 1 (zone 0), flammable material present continuously or for long periods
- CAT 2 (zone 1), flammable material present occasionally in normal operation
- CAT 3 (zone 2), flammable material present in abnormal conditions for short periods
- Flows up to 820 l/min
- Pressures up to 160m
- Self-priming
- Solids handling up to 100mm
- Viscosity up to 200 cSt
- Can be supplied with a built-on dampener
- Solid block design, reducing the risk of leakages
- Clean-face, no-nut diaphragms
- ATEX Zones 0, 1 and 2
- Earth connection mounted onto the pump, ensuring the earthing of electrostatic loads
- ATEX-variant can be supplied across all AODD pump sizes
