Revolutionary problem solving solution
The Guardian AOD pump protection system offers dry running protection, an ever increasing requirement of all pumps including air diaphragm pumps
Designed predominantly for the air diaphragm pump market, the "Guardian" system incorporates a 4 in 1 pump monitoring system in both standard and fully ATEX with all wetted Parts in PTFE A fully pneumatic system that fits into the palm of your hand!

A specially designed pulsation dampener can be fitted to any of the range of air diaphragm pumps from Tapflo: this is the most efficient way to remove pressure variations on the discharge of a pump
Even though air pumps are designed to run dry, regular misuse will cause unnecessary air usage and a reduction in pump life, and conflict with ever increasing demands to reduce running costs and comply with current energy legislation.
Engineers are constantly looking for a cost effective solution.
The "Guardian" system stops the pump immediately upon dry run detection and is easily fitted with signals to alert users remotely.
Diaphragm pumps are commonly used against a closed valve.
Many clients now require to reduce line pressure during inactive periods to increase both user safety and minimise both leaks and unnecessary air usage.
The "Guardian" system simply turns the air pressure to the pump off until the line pressure decays to a point where the pump will restart automatically.
The "Guardian" system enables the user to take both pneumatic and electrical signals (volt-free contact) to monitor systems both on over-pressure or under-pressure, ideal for filter monitoring.
The "Guardian" system can be fitted to all manufacturers barrier pump designs, offering a simple and highly efficient system to detect breach of either primary or secondary diaphragms without the use of vacuum.
The system prevents further damage to both pumped media and the conventional antiquated monitoring systems available The Guardian system is a giant leap in pump monitoring technology (a patent has been applied for covering both concept and design) and will reduce air usage, increase pump life as well as protect both users and the environment!!.
