Introducing the Iwaki Air TC-X500 Series Metallic Flap Valve Pumps: A Game-Changer in Fluid Transfer

At Becker Engineered Systems, we are proud to expand our lineup of high-performance fluid control solutions with the introduction of the Iwaki Air TC-X500 Series Metallic Flap Valve Pumps. Designed for the toughest applications, these highly engineered pumps deliver superior efficiency, durability, and reliability, making them a preferred choice for industries that require robust fluid transfer solutions.

How Flap Valve Diaphragm Pumps Work

The TC-X500 Series Metallic Flap Valve Pumps operate on the principles of flap valve diaphragm pump technology, utilizing a heavy-duty, mechanically actuated shifting mechanism paired with a non-centering, coil spring-assisted air motor. This design enables the pump to maintain optimal performance even in the most challenging conditions.

A key component of this system is its HNBR rubber-encapsulated steel flap valves, which allow large solids—up to 1.77 inches (45mm)—to pass through seamlessly without clogging. This innovative valve design ensures continuous operation in environments where debris, particulate matter, or viscous liquids could otherwise cause downtime.

Key Features of the Iwaki Air TC-X500 Series

1. Top-Down Fluid Flow Configuration

Unlike traditional pumps with a bottom inlet, the TC-X500 Series features a top inlet and bottom outlet, which optimizes the transfer of large solids and slurry-laden liquids. This design improves efficiency by reducing clogs, flow disruptions, and system downtime—a crucial advantage in high-demand applications.

2. Heavy-Duty Flap Valve Construction

The HNBR rubber-encapsulated steel flap valves provide exceptional durability, even when handling abrasive or corrosive fluids. These valves are designed to:
✅ Withstand high pressure while maintaining a tight seal
✅ Prevent backflow to ensure smooth and reliable operation
✅ Be easily inspected and replaced through an external access cover, minimizing maintenance downtime

Where These Pumps Excel: Applications Across Industries

The Iwaki Air TC-X500 Series Metallic Flap Valve Pumps are built to tackle demanding applications across multiple industries, including:

• Food Processing – Transfers large solids, abrasive slurries, and high-viscosity liquids while preventing clogging
• Mining – Ideal for mine dewatering, transporting slurries containing abrasive particles, and handling chemical reagents in mineral processing
• Wastewater Treatment – Effectively transfers sewage, sludge, and other wastewater materials, handling solids-laden liquids with ease and efficiency
• Dewatering – Built for environments where unexpected solids may be present in the fluid, ensuring seamless liquid transfer
