BOISBRIAND, Quebec – Busch Vacuum Pumps, a manufacturer of vacuum technology for the woodworking and other industries, has produced a pair of informational videos. One shows how dry claw vacuum pumps work and the other explains how rotary vane vacuum pumps work. Both styles of pumps can be used in a variety of woodworking applications including clamping on CNC routers, material handling, laminating and veneering presses, wood drying, and wood impregnating.

A prime example of Busch’s dry claw vacuum pump is the compact Mink MV, which the company says is very quiet and energy-efficient.

On the other side of the aisle, Busch says its R5 oil-lubricated Rotary Vane vacuum pumps maximize the performance and reliability for woodworking applications.
