We worked closely with a returning client to supply them with an ATEX-certified Diaphragm Pump for their application, which included solid-laden fluids. We were able to supply a high-quality Diaphragm pump, strengthening our long-term relationship with the client.
Application
One of Tapflo UK’s biggest customers returned to us for another quality pump solution. They were looking to efficiently pump heat transfer fluids containing solids.
Additional requirements of their application included:
- Able to handle solids of up to 3mm
- A suction lift of up to 1m
