Caption: Calculating and comparing the operating costs involved in vacuum generation is easy with www.spare-mit-mink.ch

With the Mink^® claw vacuum pump, Busch now offers a technical alternative that drastically reduces the operating costs of vacuum generation for wood processors. Alongside the minimal maintenance and high degree of efficiency, it is primarily the low energy requirement of the Mink^® claw vacuum pump that, in the vast majority of cases, makes it the most economical solution when it comes to vacuum generation for clamping. The savings to be made can now be calculated using an operating cost comparator at www.spare-mit-mink.ch.

Vacuum technology always plays a fundamental role in the area surrounding CNC processing machines when clamping is performed using a vacuum. In the past, the running costs involved were questioned less critically. As a result, dry-sealed rotary vane vacuum pumps established themselves on the market over the past years, without their cost-effectiveness ever being called into question. A general rise in costs mean today's operators scrutinise the operating costs and the energy efficiency of their machines more than ever before.

It's now easy for operators of CNC processing machines to convince themselves of the potential savings Mink holds: Busch offers an operating cost comparator at www.spare-mit-mink.ch, which compares the operating costs of the existing vacuum pump with a Mink^® claw vacuum pump. After entering a few parameters such as nominal suction capacity, operating time and the price of electricity, it takes just a matter of seconds to calculate the operating cost saving that could be achieved by using a Mink^® claw vacuum pump in place of the current vacuum pump.
