Overview
creating a safe process
Tapflo is here to provide you reliable solutions that increase both quality and safety of your filtration processes.
FT Filters are developed to work in various applications, where process quality often relies on the bath filtration. As there are many hazardous substances used, it is of paramount importance to ensure these chemicals are handled in a safe way.

Features & benefits
Solid construction
FT Filters are made to work in a tough industrial environment; its robust design provides a safe and reliable daily work environment, both with acids and alkali. Our FT Filters are ready to resist hard conditions all over the world.
Wide range of filtering volume
Filtering volumes which exact the needs of various applications. Suitable for tanks capacity form 200 l (for FT80) to 6000 l (for FT355).
Changeable inserts
Thanks to the universal body design, the FT Filter units can be equipped with various filtering inserts. It allows the filters to work with surface treatment baths, oil absorbing systems and precious metals treatment systems.
Simple and smart design
New FT Filters were designed to reduce the number of parts to minimum. Filters are easy to maintain and service and the inserts are easy to replace.
Applications
Chemical industry
Filtration of all kind of acids, alkalis, alcohol, solvents and shear sensitive products such as latex and emulsions, as well as chemical waste products.
Paints and varnishes
Filtration of water- and solvent based paints, ink, varnish, glue, adhesives and solvents. Filtration, transfer, recirculation and blending of ink in printing industries.
Water treatment
Pumping samples, dosing acids and alkalis for pH-control. Filtration of flocculent, suspensions, chemical reagents and sludges. The filter units are resistant to hydrochloric acid and ferric chlorite, plus many others.
Surface treatment
Filtration of chemicals from storage tanks, containers and baths, for example in pickling, galvanization and degreasing. Handling of waste products.
Precious metal plating
Recovery of precious metals with the use of liquid filters which remove particles from the very aggressive liquid.
Components
Filter components
Standard FT Filters are delivered with Tapflo Magdrive CTM series pumps, that provide a safe and leakage free operation. Our FT Filters are used widely in the surface treatment industry, where there is a need for liquid purification.
Made in PP, they provide a high resistance for acids and alkalis. They are developed to work with polypropylene filtering cartridges, active carbon filtering inserts, filtering resins combined with bags and FTL Cartridges. FT Filters are also used as oil absorbing units.
Insert types
Wound Cartridge (standard)
The most popular filtering insert. Recommended for concentrated acids and alkalis, strong oxidizing agents, corrosive fluids and gases.
FDA and Non-FDA available - Consult Tapflo. Easily incinerated to traces of ash. Excellent microorganism resistance. High dry or wet strength.
Equipped with 1, 3, 7 or 15 cartridges.
Available removal rating: 1-50 μm
Bag (for FTB210)
Bag filtration is an economic method of pollution separation, widely used in branches of industries such as automotive, paint and varnish, food, chemical.
TThe filter bags offered by us are characterised by high chemical compatibility to the filtered medium and thermal resistance.
We are also providing an option with activated carbon insert and ion exchange resin insert. For additional information, please contact Tapflo directly.
Available removal rating: 0,5 µm-1200 µm
FTL Cartridge (for FT210)
This is made of polypropylene fabric and grill – its filtration surface is 5m2 for 20 inch cartridge. It gives the advantage of high efficiency and high retention capacity up to 5 kg of sediment.
These filter inserts significantly reduces operating costs.
Available removal rating: 10, 50, 100µm
Filter Basket
This option allows the use of oil absorbing polyethylene tape, active carbon and ion exchange resin inserts filled.

Filtering media
Activated Carbon
✓ Used in galvanic bath organic purification
✓ Removing of organics such as oils or lubricants - reduction of COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand)
✓ Typical applications:
- Galvanic bath purification
Oil Absorbing Polyethylene Tape
✓ Used in galvanic process
✓ Removing of oil residues
✓ Typical applications:
- Cleaning the rinsing water/bath
Ion Exchange Resin
✓ Used in industrial plants, where heavy metal concentration exceeds acceptable level.
✓ Removing of heavy metals used for sewage treatment, e.g. in electroplating processes
✓ Typical applications:
- Purification of Cr3+ passivation after galvanizing
- Purification of chromium bath Cr3+
- Demi water production
Options
Pressure control options
An optional pressure switch selected instead of a manometer offers higher accuracy, long-term stability and a higher number of measure cycles.
◼ Standard
CTM - magdrive centrifugal pumps
The Magdrive Centrifugals are designed and manufactured for chemicals transfer and circulation in surface treatment industries.
Tapflo CTM magnetic drive pumps are pumps of the centrifugal type, where the power from the motor is transmitted to the impeller by means of a magnetic coupling.
◼ Other pump options
Tapflo offers other pumps designed for a harsh chemical environment:
CTP - plastic centrifugal pump
A CTP can be offered installed in the filter housing instead of a standard CTM pump. The CTP pumps are single stage centrifugal pumps with semi-opened impeller. The pumps are ideal for chemical transfer and circulation in surface treatment industries.
CTV - plastic centrifugal vertical pump
A CTV can be installed outside the filter housing with a hose connection for the transfer and circulation of various liquids from containers, sumps and tanks.
