Pneumatic Mixing & Emptying System

The Pneumatic Mixing and Emptying System, also known as a Pneumixer, was predominantly developed for the paint and ink industry where most raw materials in drums or containers settle out over time and need to be mixed or blended prior to use.

How does Tapflo’s Pneumatic Mixing & Emptying System work?

Transfer Mode (Image 1) The discharge valve (1) is opened and the recirculation (2) valve is partially opened, to both mix and transfer the product out of the vessel. Mixing Mode (Image 2)The discharge valve (1) is closed and the recirculation (2) valve is opened, to allow the product to circulate in the vessel. Stopping the pump can be achieved in a couple of ways:

By closing the discharge valve and the recirculation valve the pressure from the system will stop the pump automatically. The pump restarts easily when the valve is opened again.

NOTE: When using this method keep in mind that air must be supplied to the pump. This is essential to keep the diaphragms in balance, which is what protects them from premature failure.

Cutting off the air supply. The discharge valve needs to be open in this instance.

We can also supply the pump and Pneumix with any of our Pneumatic & Electronic Protection Systems to provide even further protection and functionality!

handling, reducing worker or environmental exposure, spillage and contamination. Hazardous, sensitive or volatile products are securely protected within their container. All contributing towards a clean, safe working environment.
Batch and mix: This system allows the product to be mixed and batched when it is needed, reducing time, increasing product life and minimising waste.
Variable agitation: Means the mixing action can be matched to the specific product or application
Safety: Air operated control and operation means no electrics are necessary. The SS version is also ATEX Rated.
Materials and sizes: The Pneumixers are available in Stainless Steel AISI 316 & PP (polypropylene) as standard. Other materials upon request.

Available for all Tapflo pump sizes 1/2″ up to 2″. When being used in conjunction with our extensive range of Air Operated Diaphragm Pumps, we also recommend utilising our Air Treatment System to provide the best control and functionality of the system.
