High-Purity Bellows Pumps

Reliable, metal-free pumps with PTFE/PFA flow paths

Overview

White Knight air-operated double-bellows (AODB) pumps are used to manufacture semiconductors, photovoltaic solar cells, LEDs, flat-panel displays and electronics. These high-purity chemical pumps feature PTFE/PFA fluid paths. They do not contain metals, elastomer O-rings, impellers or electric motors. Their reliable designs use minimal parts, and operate continuously throughout their warranty period with no required maintenance.

Pump Configuration

Different Outlet Fittings

Please select outlet connection, fitting and size.

Configuration:

*Notes: Pumps with SP2, SP3, or SP5 pressure switch stroke detection come without shuttle valve.

Pump operation in timer mode requires end-of-stroke detection (pressure switch) to prevent over-stroking. Operating pumps in timer mode without end-of-stroke detection voids the pump warranty. Do not use fiber optic stroke detection in applications over 130°C

*Notes: Fiber optics are required for operation. Standard configuration comes dual-probe WITHOUT fibers. Please see stroke detect option for fiber optic cables.

Pump operation in timer mode requires end-of-stroke detection (fiber-optic stoke detection) to prevent over-stroking. Operating pump in timer mode without end-of-stroke detection voids pump warranty.

Pump requires use of the included White Knight quick exhaust valves (QEVs) or QEVs supplied by the customer used with the optional NPT adapter. Operating pump without QEVs voids pump warranty.

*Notes: Proximity switch required for operation. Standard configuration comes WITHOUT proximity switch. Please see stroke detection options to order proximity switch.

Pump operation in timer mode requires end-of-stroke detection (pressure switch stoke detection) to prevent over-stroking. Operating pump in timer mode without end-of-stroke detection voids pump warranty.

Pump requires use of the included White Knight quick exhaust valves (QEVs) or QEVs supplied by the customer used with the optional NPT adapter. Operating pump without QEVs voids pump warranty.

Legacy Pump Models

White Knight’s legacy pumps include the world’s first metal-free Teflon® PTFE/PFA pumps, and the first pump capable of operating at 210°C (410°F). White Knight has since built upon legacy designs to offer improved performance, better reliability, extended pump life, shorter delivery times, and more.

Please see the recommended replacements or contact White Knight for more information.

White Knight will continue support for legacy pumps.
