KNF Pumps for Filtration Processes

The wide range of KNF high-performance laboratory pumps is designed to meet the most demanding requirements. Find the right solution for your application and increase your efficiency. 

Understanding the Filtration Process

In contrast to simple gravimetric filtration, a vacuum pump creates a pressure differential to more effectively draw the liquid through the filter.
 
The efficiency of vacuum filtration can be affected by a number of factors, including the porosity of the filter, the viscosity of the liquid being filtered, and the type of particle being removed. When selecting a vacuum pump, it is important to consider the volume of your flask and the number of filtration units or "funnels". A vacuum that is too weak will cause the process to take longer, while a vacuum that is too strong may cause the filter to tear or collapse.

Factors to Consider When Selecting the Ideal Pump for Filtration Processes

  • Flow rate proportional to flask volume and number of filtration units (funnels)
  • Oil-free operation with excellent chemical compatibility
  • Chemical resistance to solvents and acids
  • Adjustable flow control
