Most applications require a certain flow at a certain pressure or vacuum level. Pumps should therefore be able to reach this operating point without being oversized, ensuring it is neither too large nor consumes unnecessary energy. To get the right custom pump, KNF therefore offers many pump sizes and several options of achieving the right operating point, such as digitally customising the motor or selecting an optimised eccentric.
Some industries deal with challenging media that may be corrosive, explosive, sensitive or environmentally hazardous. To maintain the integrity of the fluid, it is important to ensure that it only comes into contact with suitable materials. KNF offers a wide range of materials for the diaphragm, valve elastomers and the pump head, including unusual materials like gold or PCTFE. As a result, KNF diaphragm pumps can handle most fluids.
Every pump must be properly connected to its system. With a custom pump, all connections can be tailored to the system requirements. This eliminates the need for adapters between the pump and the systems, which is a significant advantage because adapters not only add cost, weight and size, but can also cause problems such as additional potential leak points.
Custom pumps can incorporate the functions of specific components into their design. In some applications, this can eliminate the need for additional components. For example, blow-off valves upstream of some compressors can be eliminated from the customer’s system by incorporating a custom pump feature that allows it to start against pressure.
For some applications, long pump service life is critical. In these cases, KNF offers advanced brushless DC motors that can run for very long periods of time, creating highly reliable and robust custom pumps. However, for applications that do not require long runtimes, customers can opt for simpler brushed motors. This example illustrates that a custom pump is not necessarily more expensive than a standard pump.
When customers receive a custom pump from KNF, they not only receive a pump that is perfectly tailored to their needs, but also the assurance that the specifications of the pump will be kept confidential. Competitors cannot order the custom pump or determine its specifications. Under no circumstances will KNF sell or disclose the details of a custom pump to any third party without the written consent of the customer.
At KNF, we work closely with our customers to create a pump that truly fits the customer’s application. This is made possible through a strong, trusting partnership, rigorous testing and the expertise that KNF offers. KNF often continues to improve its customers’ systems and assists them in solving new challenges.
