The new intelligent features from KNF, the technology leader for diaphragm pumps, deliver exactly what is needed, without added complexity. They allow customers to focus on what truly matters while benefiting from cutting-edge technology that brings a new level of control, ease of use, and smart functionality. These next-generation diaphragm pump features adapt seamlessly to diverse applications, delivering reliable and consistent performance. They are easy to integrate, intuitive to operate, and designed to meet specific needs. Explore our intelligent features and discover how KNF combines simplicity with innovation.
Built-in Intelligence Enables Cruise Control for Pumps
All intelligent KNF pumps feature an integrated sensor and control module. These compact components are tailored to the pump and allow for advanced closed loop control. This way, the pump automatically adjusts its motor speed in accordance with the required performance, which can be defined as a fixed or a controllable setpoint. Operating a pump no longer requires either guesswork or complex external components and the development of control logic. The pump simply does what it is asked to do.

Seamless Connectivity and System Integration
An intelligent pump becomes a powerful player when integrated into a smart system. Offering state-of-the-art communication interfaces and protocols for input and output data, the new pumps can receive complex control commands and output valuable data. This enables true communication within customer systems and makes pump performance transparent and reliable. However, opting for an intelligent pump does not require a sophisticated system since KNF pumps adapt to your needs. If no advanced control is needed, the pump can be programmed by KNF to exact customer specifications. Depending on the specific pump, simple analog signals such as a control voltage can be used to operate the pump. This way, the customer system does not need to be adapted to the pump.
Intelligence Meets Diaphragm Pump Technology: A Powerful Match
KNF’s intelligent features take diaphragm pump technology to the next level. Conventional diaphragm pumps already provide many advantages like oil-free operation, exceptional chemical compatibility, outstanding leak-tightness, excellent reliability, long service life, gentle media handling and compactness. With these new intelligent features, these pumps become even more powerful – delivering enhanced reliability, intuitive use, and more sophisticated control.
View ProductsUser-Friendly Testing and Digital Customization
Depending on the specific intelligent pump model, it can be connected to a PC via USB. Using a graphical user interface (GUI), customers can begin testing and experimenting with the pump immediately upon receipt. The GUI enables true plug-and-play functionality by providing intuitive control over key performance parameters such as motor RPM, desired flow rate, vacuum, or pressure. It also displays essential information like real-time performance data, temperature, and operational status. The parameters chosen by the customer can then be submitted to KNF at the push of a button to make digital customization of the final pump as easy and reliable as possible.
Customizing Intelligent Pumps Ensures a Perfect Fit
As with all KNF pumps, intelligent pumps can be customized flexibly to specific application needs. This includes aspects like pump material selection, options for electric and pump line connections, various mechanical customizations, or different mounting options. Based on a proven modular system, these customizations can be done by using already tested and available components, making customization fast, reliable, and cost-effective.
