Concept Features Areas of use

Diaphragm vacuum pumps from KNF
are based on a simple principle – an
elastic diaphragm, ixed on its edge,
moves up and down its central point by
means of an eccentric. In this way the
medium is transferred using automatic
valves.
The pumps are equipped with the
patented stress-optimized structured
diaphragm, resulting in a high pneumatic
performance, a durable product and
compact size. Special valves ensure that
the product can cope easily with vapor
and condensation.
Uncontaminated low These pumps are specially designed
No contamination of the media due to to satisfy the requirements of steam

to very reliable operation.

HINTS ON FUNCTION AND INSTALLATION
Function of KNF diaphragm
vacuum pumps and compres-
sors
An elastic diaphragm is moved up and
down by an eccentric (see illustration).
On the down-stroke it draws the air or
gas being handled through the inlet
valve. On the up-stroke the diaphragm
forces the medium through the exhaust
valve and out of the head. The compres-
sion chamber is hermetically separated
from the drive mechanism by the dia-
phragm. The pumps transfer, evacuate
and compress completely oil-free.
KNF reserves the right to make technical changes.

The standard pumps are not suitable
for use in areas where there is a risk
of explosion. In these cases there are
other products in the KNF program –
please ask us for details.
The pumps are not designed to start
against pressure or vacuum; when a
pump is switched on the pressure in
the suction and pressure lines must be
atmospheric. Pumps that start against
pressure or vacuum are available on
request.
