KNF presents its Intelligent Pump Features for controlling flow, pressure and vacuum

KNF announces the launch of three innovative features for its diaphragm pumps designed to control flow, pressure and vacuum. These solutions set a new standard in terms of precision, reliability and adaptability.

Three new smart pumps

For liquid applications, KNF has developed the FMS-FC 1.400. This diaphragm pump with integrated flow control uses a precise flow sensor and ensures precise, accurate and stable liquid delivery. It achieves a maximum flow rate of 3.4 l/min, a maximum pressure of 6 bar (rel.) and offers a maximum suction head of 3 mH₂O.

The new MGP 75 gas diaphragm pump with intelligent pressure control maintains a precise and constant gas pressure even under changing conditions. Using the latest KNF motor technology, it achieves a maximum flow rate of 78 l/min, a maximum pressure of 1 bar (rel.) and a maximum vacuum of up to 25 mbar (abs.).

Equipped with the Intelligent Vacuum Control feature, the new NVC 830 micro vacuum pump maintains precise vacuum levels in challenging environments. This compact pump offers a maximum flow rate of 4.7 l/min and a maximum vacuum of up to 55 mbar (abs.).

Intelligent Feature for maximum precision

Each pump incorporates state-of-the-art sensor technology and proprietary motor control to maintain precise setpoint values, even under dynamic conditions such as fluctuations in pressure or fluid temperature. This integrated closed-loop control minimises engineering effort.

It eliminates the need for the potentially difficult integration of external sensors and the development of new control logic from scratch.

Flexible connectivity and integration

The pumps can operate autonomously or be controlled via analogue signals such as control voltage. For use in complex systems, the pumps also support modern communication protocols such as UART, enabling seamless integration into smart environments.

Customisation for demanding applications

Thanks to their modular design, the pumps can be customised quickly and cost-effectively. Options include material selection, electrical and line connections, and digital settings such as output setpoint, acceleration rate or maximum motor speed limits, depending on the pump. This flexibility makes the pumps the ideal choice for critical applications in sectors such as medical technology, analytical systems and industrial processes.
