At our booth, we are showcasing our new pumps equipped with intelligent features, as well as cutting-edge experimental pumps and systems. With over 80 years of experience, KNF, as a leader in diaphragm pump technology, provides customized pump solutions that combine reliability and precision even in the most demanding environments. Our specialists will be present at the booth on the day, so please feel free to consult with us about your specific needs. Next-Generation Diaphragm Pump Solutions Control What Matters with Intelligent Pump Features The intelligent features of our pumps, including "flow control," "pressure control," "vacuum control," and "versatile discharge control," enable the pump to automatically adapt to the required performance by combining a high-quality pump body with high-precision sensors and control modules. These intelligent pumps, designed to meet customer needs, reduce system complexity and achieve unprecedented control performance. KNF's intelligent features are available for liquid pumps, gas pumps, and vacuum pumps.

KNF's web-based software application "Nautilus" helps customers digitally simulate fluid systems and identify optimal gentle flow pump solutions. Nautilus is now available for testing by customers at KNF.com. By using this web-based fluid simulation application, users can recreate their systems digitally and compare the performance of various gentle flow pumps before integration. Fluid simulation software supports more efficient pump selection. With a simple drag-and-drop interface, customers can build simulations of their systems using components such as pumps, reservoirs, valves, and filters. By adding values relevant to their application, they can replicate actual operating conditions and assist in more accurate pump selection. "Nautilus" is compatible with KNF's gentle flow pumps. Nautilus can shorten the pump selection process through early and easy digital testing, reducing the need for physical testing and on-site support.

Engineering expertise, advanced manufacturing techniques, and a commitment to quality come together at our production facilities in Europe and the United States. Discover how technology, craftsmanship, and uncompromising quality influence every diaphragm pump we create. Our products are manufactured through an ISO 9001 certified process to ensure exceptional quality from the first component to the finished product. We will showcase how KNF's cutting-edge engineering processes produce proven and reliable diaphragm pumps.

The exceptional durability of diaphragm pumps is not a coincidence. At KNF, this durability is thoroughly pursued in the design. With pumps that operate for over 11 years under specified test conditions, OEM manufacturers can enjoy the benefits of reduced failures, cost savings, and improved reliability in critical applications. Ten years is not enough—KNF demonstrates what long-term reliability means. The NMP 850.1.2, proven to withstand 100,000 hours of operation under specified operating conditions, has set a new standard for the lifespan of diaphragm pumps. This groundbreaking achievement is the result of outstanding engineering rooted in product development focused on reliability. A rigorous testing policy ensures that all products meet the highest standards. As a result, pumps have been realized that enable OEM manufacturers to build safer, more efficient, and more durable systems.

Nadine Kuntz, the Product Engineering Team Leader, talks about her work, cross-departmental collaboration, and the role of product engineering at KNF. Since joining KNF Flodos AG in 2016, Nadine Kuntz has built her career from product engineer to product engineering team leader. Her interest in diaphragm pump technology began even earlier, sparked by a practical internship in the testing department. Currently, she is active at the intersection of technology, products, and people. In this interview, she discusses the realities of product engineering at KNF, the importance of collaboration, and the driving forces that support products and empower people.
