Pump Technology for the Most Demanding OEM and Process Applications
KNF offers a range of explosion proof diaphragm pumps for gases and liquids designed for use in various extreme environments. These pumps offer safe solutions for handling aggressive media while offering high performance in applications where they are required. KNF has extensive experience building explosion proof pumps to meet a variety of global standards.
Explosion proof pumps are a necessity in most environments with combustible material. They are essential in industrial and chemical processing applications where highly dangerous media is common. Oil and gas operations often rely on these pumps for sampling and transfer, as do material extraction applications. Processes where high amounts of dust or particulates are present may also require explosion proof pumps.
Why Diaphragm Pumps?
KNF offers explosion proof diaphragm gas and liquid pumps designed for the most safety-critical environments. Diaphragm pumps offer strong performance and long service life in heavy duty operations. They are designed to minimize power consumption, reducing the risk of sparking and overheating. Diaphragm pumps operate oil-free, reducing the risk of internal explosions, and are available with a variety of head configurations and diaphragm materials to better accommodate harsh media.
KNF’s modular system allows liquid and gas diaphragm pumps to be custom tailored to meet customer needs. Our engineers work directly with customers to define pump configurations, test conditions and any special requirements. This allows for quick, efficient, and cost-effective adaptations to our standard explosion proof pumps. Additionally, KNF has experience with a variety of global explosion proof standards
