Busch Mink MM 1142 AV | 116 CFM Dry Claw Vacuum Pump | 4kW (5.3HP)

Busch Mink MM 1142 AV Dry Claw Vacuum Pump

116 CFM Displacement | Oil-Free / Contactless Design | 5.3 HP | High Efficiency

Available for sale is a high-performance Busch Mink MM 1142 AV dry claw vacuum pump. This unit represents the peak of low-maintenance industrial vacuum technology. Because the internal claws operate without touching, there is virtually no friction or wear in the suction chamber, leading to significantly longer service intervals and lower total cost of ownership compared to rotary vane or screw pumps.

Key Features & Performance

• Dry & Contact-Free: The dual-claw design ensures no oil is used in the vacuum path, making it ideal for clean-room, food packaging, and sensitive CNC woodworking applications.
• Extreme Reliability: With no vanes to break and no internal friction, the Mink series is famous for running 20,000+ hours before requiring a simple gearbox oil change.
• Air-Cooled Efficiency: Highly efficient air-cooling eliminates the need for water utilities or external heat exchangers.
• Consistent Suction: Unlike regenerative blowers, this positive displacement claw pump maintains strong vacuum levels even as airflow varies during a process.
• Quiet Operation: Rated at approximately 79-80 dBA, making it suitable for modern industrial plant environments.
