Pumps for Pulp & Paper

They are pumps that can handle a range of abrasive materials, especially those that might be viscous and/or include solids.

Tapflo have a range of diverse pumps with different features and advantages to suit the needs of your operation.

High-pressure pumps that can deal with high temperatures and ensure smooth metering and mixing are the ideal models for this application.

Pulp & Paper Pumps are mostly constructed from:

• NR, NBR
• EPDM, CSM
• AISI 316
• PTFE, PP
• HDPE
• Aluminium
• Cast Iron
• Incoloy 825, Alloy 20

Common advantages of Pulp & Paper Pumps include:

• Pump challenging liquids: Ideal for pumping abrasive and viscous liquids containing solids.
• Self Priming: A lot of pumps suitable for pulp and paper are self-priming and/or able to be run dry, be sure to check each pump’s features and benefits to ensure the model has this benefit.
• ATEX: A lot of these pumps are ATEX-available for use in hazardous environments.

When choosing a pump suited to transferring pulp and paper you must consider characteristics such as:

• What is the viscosity of the media you intend to pump? Consider viscosity limitations, shear sensitivity etc.
• Do you need to pump fluids containing solids?
• Do you need a particular flow rate or head?
• Is your environment or fluid explosive?
• Will your pump be stationary or do you need it to be portable?
