KNF to Host Lab Pumps & Applications Symposium in Collaboration with Local ACS
Pumps are an important component in practically all chemistry laboratories. Yet for such a common device, selecting the correct pump for a particular application is often a challenge.
Join us on Nov. 4th for a Laboratory Pumps & Applications Symposium
KNF Neuberger, in collaboration with the Trenton Section of the American Chemical Society, will be hosting a symposium on “Laboratory Pumps and Applications”. The presentation will focus on taking the mystery out of laboratory pumps, looking at the most common applications and the pumps that best support them. Discussion topics include:
- What is the best pump type for my application?
- What accessories are available to help me optimize the performance of the pump in my application?
- What are the signs that my pump is in need of maintenance or repair?
- And much more!
LOCATION
This exclusive, co-sponsored event will be held at KNF’s state-of-the-art, 50,000 square ft. manufacturing facility at Two Black Forest Road in Trenton, NJ.
SCHEDULE
5:30 pm – Mixer with drinks and appetizers, plant tours and product demos
6:30 pm – Dinner and presentation
7:30 pm – Coffee and dessert
Refreshments and dinner are complimentary. There will also be a drawing for door prizes.
PRESENTER
Roland Anderson is the Laboratory Products Manager and applications specialist at KNF Neuberger, Inc.

Reservations are required, as seating is limited, so be sure to register now!
The Right Pump to Meet Your Continuous Ink-jet Printing Requirements
As the continuous ink-jet (CIJ) printing industry evolves, KNF remains a driving force behind the change from yesterday’s peristaltic and gear driven pumps, to today’s more efficient diaphragm pumps. In fact, KNF is well positioned to serve this industry, thanks to our CIJ applications knowledge and selection of readily-optimized liquid and gas handling diaphragm pumps.
Diaphragm pumps overcome common problems inherent with the use of peristaltic and gear pumps in CIJ applications. Peristaltic pumps have short tube life leading to maintenance issues or messy clean-up, while gear pumps have issues including performance decay, shed particles, high cost, and they cannot run dry. In contrast, our diaphragm pumps provide a greatly extended performance life, lower cost operation, leak-tightness, robust chemical resistance, the ability to handle challenging inks, and our liquid pumps are self-priming and can run wet or dry. In addition, KNF diaphragm pumps can include features such as logic-controlled brushless DC motors, special electrical connections and mounting plates, and dampeners for applications sensitive to pulsation.
KNF Neuberger, Inc. specializes in liquid transfer pumps for continuous ink-jet printing industry. Specific media applications include UV ink pumps, pumps for solvent-based inks, degassing pumps, and many more.
Typical functions that our pumps perform in drop-on-demand inkjet applications include:
- Bulk ink supply/replenish
- Ink degassing
- System vacuum and pressure
- Cleaning station
- Anti-siphon at head
- Gutter pump
- Chemistry make up
- Ink delivery
- Debris cleaning
- QC analysis
KNF is also proud to have contributed to the CIJ market’s successful evolution to now include industrial printers and decorators, mailing and labeling equipment, date/lot codes, bio-material dispensing, 3-D printers, printed electronics, and more.

Making the Right Choice for Drop-on-Demand Inkjet Printing
KNF has supplied the drop-on-demand inkjet printing market with optimized liquid and gas/vacuum pumps since its infancy. Overtime, the market has developed, and we’ve accumulated an in-depth knowledge of these printing systems by working directly with designers to develop pumps best suited for several critical functions. We’re proud to have contributed to the market’s successful evolution, which now includes commercial printers and decorators, 3D printers, bio-material dispensing, single-pass printing, ceramics, and printed electronics.
Typical functions that our pumps perform in drop-on-demand inkjet applications include:
- Bulk ink supply/replenish
- Ink degassing
- System vacuum
- Cleaning station
- Ink recirculation
- Print head temperature control
- Liquid laminate delivery
- Media pre-treatment
- Anti-siphon at head
Whether your application calls for tolerance to special inks, high temperature pump heads, special electrical or mounting connections, or other unique requirements, count on KNF engineers to build a pump to fit your specific inkjet printer needs. We’re here to help you cut costs, and to integrate our pumps into your printer control systems.

See You At AACC!
Today we’re packing up and preparing to send materials to display in the KNF Neuberger booth at AACC 2014, held this year in Chicago on July 29 – 31. Before we lock up the crate, though, we thought we’d take a quick break and mention that we’ll be introducing a brand new liquid diaphragm pump at the AACC show. With two heads driven by one motor, this pump provides twice the flow and half the pulsation when operated in parallel mode. In the individual mode, two different liquids can be transferred simultaneously by one unit, eliminating the need for a second pump.
Please plan to stop by KNF Neuberger booth #4328 at AACC next week. For more information before the show, or to arrange
a meeting there, please click on one of the following links:
- New NFB 100 liquid diaphragm pump.
- Learn more about KNF air, gas and liquid pumps, designed to perform critical tasks for clinical diagnostic instruments and medical devices, such as liquid transfer, liquid aspiration, liquid dosing/metering, degassing, vacuum, and pneumatics.
- Contact us to arrange a meeting at AACC Chicago.
See you there!
