Diaphragm Gas Pumps and Compressors
Sampling, evacuating and compressing – for tasks like these, KNF offers a wide range of diaphragm pumps and model variants. All the pump types offer media transfer without contamination and are maintenance-free.
| Model | Flow rate at atm. pressure (l/min) |
Vacuum (mbar absolute) |
Pressure (bar g) |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Explosion proof pumps | up to 220 | down to 53 | up to 4.0 | |
| Temperature-resistant and heated pumps | up to 100 | down to 180 | up to 1.5 | |
| Chemically resistant pumps | up to 60 | down to 2.0 | up to 1.5 | |
| Double diaphragm pumps | up to 280 | down to 4 | up to 3.0 |
Explosion proof pumps
Explosion-proof pumps are designed to prevent internal or external explosions by enclosing parts that could ignite either the transfer media or the surrounding atmosphere. KNF supplies a range of explosion-proof pumps for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. All our pumps are ATEX-compliant and certified in accordance with the 94/9/EC directive on equipment and protective systems.

Temperature-resistant and heated pumps
Temperature-resistant pumps can transfer air as well as neutral or aggressive gases at temperatures up to 240 °C. In order to prevent condensation of the measuring gas, the heated head pump types possess temperature-resistant pump head components and optional thermostatic or electronic temperature control.

Double diaphragm pumps
KNF double diaphragm pumps offer a high level of performance and greatly enhance safety, especially when working with dangerous, rare and valuable gases. A second diaphragm is located underneath the working diaphragm. The safety diaphragm has a significantly longer service life than the working diaphragm, thus ensuring that no gas can escape into the environment even if the working diaphragm ruptures.
