Pumps for Shear-Sensitive Fluids

Tapflo have a large range of Shear-Sensitive Pumps. These are pumps that can accurately transfer and maintain the viscosity of fluids via gentle pumping, they are particularly good at handling non-Newtonian fluids.

Each model features distinct specifications, making it well-suited for a variety of applications and operating environments.

Advantages of Shear-Sensitive Pumps include:

• High viscosities: Can handle liquids of viscosities up to 50,000 cps
• Shear Sensitivity: Excels in handling shear-sensitive liquids via pulse-free operation.
• Self-Priming: Many models are self-priming and can run-dry, make sure to check each product’s features to check.
• Durable and Reliable: Tapflo’s pumps are durable and reliable for continuous operation.
• ATEX available: A large majority of our pumps are ATEX-available meaning some models are safe in hazardous environments.

Shear-Sensitive pumps are ideal for a range of shear-sensitive media, these include fluids such as:

• Honey
• Butter
• Creams
• Egg Whites
• Tomato Sauce
• Toothpaste
• Inks
• Oobleck
• Flocculent-Suspended Fluids
• Blood

When choosing a Shear-Sensitive Pump, 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?
• Is your environment or fluid explosive?
• Will your pump be stationary or do you need it to be portable?
