Extrusion International 6-2017

REVIEW 36 Extrusion International 6/2017 The Mink MV 0602 B dry claw vacuum pump is exceptionally well-suited for use in plastics processing Busch Vacuum Pumps and Systems offers tailored vacuum solutions for all applications in plastics processing and treatment. At Fakuma in Fried- richshafen Busch was presented its latest genera- tion of Mink MV claw vacuum pumps, which are ideally suited for pneumatic conveying and de- gassing plastics. Busch specializes in vacuum applications in plas- tics processing and treatment. With its new Mink MV series, it offers reliable vacuum generators that distinctively stand out due to their high effi- ciency level. The Mink MV dry claw vacuum pump is a further development of the tried-and-tested Mink MM series, which is seen as the proven stan- dard in many industrial sectors. Busch also offers its Mink claw vacuum pumps in explosion-proof versions in accordance with the ATEX directive, specially developed for use in sensitive processes to ensure the highest possible level of safety. Mink MV claw vacuum pumps are available in five sizes, with pumping speeds from 300 to 1,200 cu- bic metres per hour; covering the full range of pumping speeds required in pneumatic suction conveying. In addition, they are also extremely suitable for use as individual vacuum modules in centralized vacuum supplies, to which several conveying systems can be connected. Centralized vacuum systems of this type enable the efficient supply of vacuum to entire plants. Due to its sophisticated claw vacuum technology, the Mink MV achieves an extraordinarily high level of efficiency, which has a positive effect on pumping speed and energy consumption. Mink MV claw vacuum pumps work extremely efficient- ly, enabling potential savings of up to 60% with respect to total operating costs when compared to coventional vacuum generators. Mink MV claw vacuum pumps can also be directly adapted to the power requirement using frequency control. As a result, it is possible to comply precisely with a defined pumping speed, even under changing process conditions, or to constantly guarantee a specific vacuum. This type of demand-driven con- trol enables further energy savings in vacuum generation. Busch Vacuum Pumps and Systems www.buschvacuum.com Busch: Economical vacuum solutions for plastics processing
