How KNF Pumps Enable Advanced Foot Care Technology

Advanced Foot Care Technology Relies on Pumps

State-of-the-art nail drills use pumps for both liquids and air. Modern podiatry equipment aims for the best results as well as maximum comfort for patients and staff. For this reason, many nail drills use distilled water, which is sprayed onto the treated area for cooling during the drilling process. In addition to preventing heat buildup, the water traps and washes away dead skin and nail particles that could otherwise be inhaled as dust. This effect is typically achieved by a liquid pump, which delivers water from the tank to the handpiece and an air pump, which acts as a compressor, converts the water into a fine mist.

Pump Efficiency is Essential for Modern Podiatry Equipment

KNF pumps can be customized to meet various requirements. This includes maximizing energy efficiency, but also aspects such as compact design. For advanced foot care technology, this is a major advantage because some systems are battery powered. A more efficient pump allows either longer battery life or the use of a smaller battery for a more economical, smaller, and lighter instrument.

Diaphragm Pump Technology Provides Needed Hygiene

Pumps used in podiatry equipment must be oil-free, odorless, and highly hygienic. Diaphragm pumps fulfill these requirements by design, which is why they are the first choice in this field. For liquid transfer, pumps such as the KNF FMM 20 are used to deliver an adjustable amount of water within seconds, whenever it is needed. For air compression, pumps such as the double-headed diaphragm pump KNF NMP 830.1.2 or the swing piston pump NPK 04 generate the required flow and pressure. In addition, these pumps can be controlled by various input signals, making them adaptable to different treatment situations.

Additional accessories, such as shock absorbers, can further optimize pump operation by reducing noise and vibrations for improved user comfort.
