KNF Equipment We Repair — By Category
KNF Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full KNF product range. Below are the major product families we service.
LABOPORT Vacuum Pump Series
Oil-free diaphragm vacuum pumps with integrated electronic control. Common repairs include motor driver failures, pressure sensor drift, and control board component failures that prevent proper vacuum regulation.
NEUROS Syringe Pump Controller
Programmable syringe pump driver for micro-dosing and precision fluid delivery. Typical faults include display/keypad failures, stepper motor drive circuit damage, and communication protocol errors in serial/USB interfaces.
LFNB Peristaltic Pump Module
Compact peristaltic pump electronics for continuous-flow laboratory and industrial applications. Repair needs often stem from PWM driver circuit failure, encoder interface breakdown, and relay contact degradation.
UNO MIDI & ATOLL Diaphragm Pump Electronics
Modular pump controller boards for KNF diaphragm and rotary vane pumps. Common issues include capacitor aging on power supply sections, microcontroller firmware corruption, and analog control signal processing faults.
MPC Pump Control Unit
Multi-pump coordination electronics for parallel pump configurations in manufacturing and research. Failures typically involve inter-pump communication loss, analog input conditioning circuit faults, and output relay/contactor driver burnout.

All-India Service
Couriered repairs accepted from any city in India. Doorstep pickup available in Vadodara, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Surat, Chennai, and more.
Common KNF Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in KNF equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓LABOPORT vacuum pump no suction or low vacuum — Diaphragm control board malfunction—often capacitor leakage on the solenoid driver section, or pressure transducer signal loss due to corroded connector pins. Oil contamination in the sensor line also causes read errors.
- ✓NEUROS syringe pump stepper motor stalling or jerking — Stepper driver IC overheating, phase winding resistance drift, or Hall sensor misalignment. Mechanical jam in syringe carriage from salt crystallization or lubricant degradation also triggers motor protection shutdowns.
- ✓Control display blank or garbled text on KNF pump controller — LCD panel data bus failure, microcontroller reset loop from firmware corruption, or 5V supply regulation collapse. Common in installations with poor mains power filtering or nearby welding equipment causing EMI.
- ✓KNF pump communication timeout error (Modbus/Serial) — RS-485 transceiver IC failure, corrupted device ID in non-volatile memory, or baud rate mismatch due to firmware update conflict. Shielding degradation in 50+ meter cable runs in large Indian manufacturing facilities causes intermittent CRC errors.
- ✓Peristaltic pump encoder/Hall sensor malfunction—inconsistent flow rate — Hall sensor magnet weakening or dislodged from rotor, dirt accumulation blocking optical encoder window, or sensor connector corrosion in humid pharma/biotech environments. Firmware feedback loop instability also misinterprets sensor pulses.
- ✓Power supply overcurrent shutdown—pump won't start — Failed output stage MOSFET shorted to ground, overvoltage transient damage from mains spike, or input rectifier diode failure in universal AC/DC supply. Single-phase supply instability in remote Indian manufacturing locations is a common trigger.

Frequently Asked Questions — KNF Repairs
Do you repair KNF pumps and controllers anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics is the authorized service partner for KNF equipment across India. We offer PAN-India pickup from Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Ahmedabad, and 100+ other cities. All repairs are performed at our Vadodara, Gujarat facility by 180+ certified electronics engineers. Turnaround time is typically 5-7 working days for standard repairs, with expedited options for critical pharmaceutical and biotech production lines.
What is the typical warranty on KNF pump repairs from Synchronics?+
All KNF repairs carry a 12-month warranty covering component failure and workmanship defects. For high-reliability applications (pharmaceutical GMP, biotech production), we offer extended 24-month warranties and quarterly preventive maintenance contracts. Spare parts and labor are covered; customer only pays for consumables like seals or lubricants.
My KNF LABOPORT vacuum pump shows error code E32—what does it mean?+
Error E32 on LABOPORT units indicates a solenoid driver circuit fault or pressure sensor signal loss. This commonly occurs when the diaphragm control board capacitors age (5-7 years in hot, humid Indian climates) or connector pins corrode. Synchronics diagnoses via oscilloscope testing of solenoid pulse signals and sensor voltage. We replace failed capacitors, clean connectors, and recalibrate sensor thresholds. Typical repair cost is 30-40% of a replacement pump.
Can Synchronics repair KNF NEUROS syringe pump stepper motor issues?+
Absolutely. NEUROS pump stepper motor failures—stalling, jerking, or position loss—are among our most common KNF repairs in Indian biotech and pharmaceutical sectors. We test stepper coil resistance, replace failed H-bridge driver ICs, and reprogram micro-stepping tables. If the mechanical carriage is jammed (from salt buildup in IV fluid lines), we perform mechanical cleaning and reassembly. Repaired NEUROS pumps are tested at flow rates from 0.5 µL/min to 500 mL/min before return.
Does Synchronics stock spare parts for KNF pumps, or must I order from Germany?+
Synchronics maintains stock of high-turnover KNF spare parts—stepper drivers, capacitors, LCD panels, and solenoid coils—to minimize downtime for Indian customers. For obsolete or specialized components (firmware chips, custom pump heads), we coordinate direct procurement from KNF Germany within 2-3 weeks. We also cross-reference compatible alternatives (e.g., stepper driver ICs) when OEM parts are unavailable, ensuring cost-effective repairs without compromising performance.
How do I send my KNF unit for repair?+
Pack the unit securely and courier it to our Vadodara workshop. Include a note with the fault description and your contact details. We will log it into our system and WhatsApp you a job number within 24 hours of receipt. Doorstep pickup is available in Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, and Pune.
What is the cost of repairing a KNF drive or PLC?+
Repair cost depends on the model and the fault. We offer a free diagnosis — once we identify the fault, we provide a fixed quotation before proceeding. Typical repairs cost 20–40% of the new unit price. We will never repair without your approval.
What warranty do you provide on KNF repairs?+
All repaired units carry a 6-month comprehensive warranty covering the same fault and related issues. If the fault recurs within the warranty period, we repair it free of cost.
Do you provide a no-fix, no-fee guarantee?+
Yes. If we cannot repair your KNF unit after diagnosis, you pay only the diagnosis fee (₹500–₹1,500 depending on the product). The unit is returned to you at no additional charge.
