The Kinney/Tuthill 240 Mechanical Vacuum Boosters are designed to extend vacuum pump performance to provide faster pumping speeds and deeper vacuum levels. With bi-directional rotation, the 240 can offer vertical and horizontal flow configurations with mechanical or slinger seals.
All Kinney/Tuthill mechanical vacuum boosters are available with flange adapters for mounting a NEMA C-face motor (up to 75HP) or an IEC D-flange motor (up to 55kW) directly to the vacuum booster.
