The pumps are not suitable for transferring foodstuffs. The pumps are not suitable for use with aggressive media. Other pumps in the KNF product line are designed for use with aggres- sive media. Please contact us for more information. The pumps must not be used to create vacuum and overpressure simultaneously.
This also applies for unusual operational situations. Note that the temperature of the medium increases when the pump compresses the medium (compressor operation). Translation of original Operating and Installation Instructions, english, KNF 312649-312652 02/23...
