KNF to Showcase New Autoclave Pump N 936.3

14.12.2016

Steam sterilization using a fractionated vacuum and vacuum drying requires maximum performance from diaphragm gas pumps.

The diaphragm design of the new N 936.3 impresses with its consistently high flow rates, especially at pressures of below 500 mbar abs. The diaphragm material is highly resistant to the substances found in oils used to maintain medical instruments being sterilized. Two multiple voltage motors cover all voltages used around the world, thereby significantly reducing the number of variants and the corresponding effort required on the part of the autoclave manufacturer. Thanks to its small size and universal connection scheme, the N 936.3 can be integrated without requiring changes to existing device designs. Certifications have been obtained for Europe and North America.
