Tuthill Vacuum Boosters Model 540, 720
Vacuum boosters are used to “supercharge” vacuum pumps to greatly extend pump performance. This allows for much faster pumping speeds and deeper vacuum levels. M-D Pneumatics vacuum boosters from Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems are utilized worldwide in the manufacture of chemicals, petrochemicals, plastics, semiconductors and wood composites as well as food processing, vacuum furnace applications and many other general applications in industry.

Mechanical Seals
These series incorporate mechanical sealing on the rotor shafts and the drive shaft, flanged port fittings, water cooled drive shaft seal, and cooling coils in the end covers.
Water cooled drive shaft seal not included with optional motor mounting flange versions.

Slinger Seals
