Description
Busch Mink vacuum systems use the advanced
technology of a non-contacting, oil-free, rotary
claw design for outstanding reliability and low
cost of ownership. Mink systems are available
in a variety of vertical and horizontal
configurations and are designed for easy
expansion using mechanical and electrical
expansion modules.
The Busch Mink is a rotary claw-type, positive
displacement, dry pump designed for either
pressure or vacuum applications. The Mink is
available as a single-stage or two-stage
vacuum pump. Vacuum or pressure is
produced by two non-contacting rotors in an
oil-free pumping chamber. The dry, non-
contacting design, along with quality
construction, results in a system that offers
extremely high reliability and a long pump life
with low maintenance.

Expansion Modules
For Busch Mink systems that are expandable,
mechanical and electrical expansion modules simplify
conversion by including easy-to-install mechanical
components, electrical components, and updated
programming for motor control centers.

Quadruplex Systems
All expandable systems can be expanded up to quadruplex
systems by adding mechanical and electrical expansion
modules. Systems with more than four pumps are available by
special request.
Laboratory Systems
All Mink systems are available as laboratory systems. Mink lab systems
have pneumatically or electrically actuated isolation valves along with a
purge arrangement. The system program includes an automatic purge
cycle. For Mink lab system model numbers, insert “LAB” in the part
number as shown in the following example.
For a Lab version of ATMD-2-MM1104, specify ATMD-2-LABMM1104.

Operating Principle
Inside the pump housing, two claw shaped
rotors take in air as they rotate in opposite
directions. The air is compressed by the
rotors, then discharged through a
silencer to atmosphere.
