Powder Pump

Powder Pump

The TP Powder Pump is based on a standard Tapflo Diaphragm Pump and is an economical and compact alternative to many complex and large powder systems. It’s innovative design not only means it can be portable but also reduces the space requirement for powder transfer applications and the complexity and cost of installation, commissioning & maintenance. The TP Powder Transfer Pumps are a modified version from the standard PTFE coated aluminium series as the non-stick PTFE coating enables an efficient transfer through the pump, with the least possible resistance.

What powders can the Tapflo Powder Pump handle?

Our Powder 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.

How does the Tapflo Powder Pump work?

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