PFU Series pumps are the ideal solution for ultra-high temperature and ultra-pure recirculation or delivery applications where fiber optic sensors are required for optimum systems control. These PTFE/PFA pumps are completely metal free and operate with fiber optic sensors and an external solenoid valve. They perform safely and reliably running continuously throughout their two-year warranty. They offer air supply pressures up to 7 Bar (100 psi) and operate in thermal cycling applications with fluid temperatures up to 210°C (410°F).
The pumps are available in three models, PFU030, PFU060 and PFU140, which are capable of maximum flow rates of 30, 60 and 140 lpm, respectively.

Operation
PFU Series pumps operate with a solenoid valve and fiber optics that optimize stroke timing by shifting the pump quickly and efficiently to increase durability.
Need shuttle valve or proximity sensors?
PSU Series pumps are controlled by shuttle valves. PXU Series pumps are controlled with proximity sensors.

*May vary depending on configuration. Suction lift diminishes over time. Recommended installation level less than 3 ft. above source.
**dB Level at 60PSI 50CPM (top) and 60PSI maximum CPM (bottom). Sound Levels measured in accordance with ISO9614-2:1997.
***Dry-run capable PFUSD030 and PFUSD060 pumps require flooded suction and may have a reduced warranty unless prior arrangements are made with White Knight. Contact White Knight for details.
