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.

Helical Gearing
Timed with hardedened, precision helical gears, keyed to the rotor shafts (NOT taper fit spur gears as offered by all other manufacturers, which have greater backlash, and can slip and lose timing). Helical gears are quieter, reducing mechanical noise.
Double Row Ball Bearings
For increased strength compared to single row bearings offered by competing brands. This feature increases bearing life by as much as 50% compared to competing brands.
Rotors with Integral Shafts
Tuthill vacuum boosters are vibration free operation all rotors are dynamically balanced. Shafts are integral to the rotors, which prevents loosening over time.
Positive End Clearances
Eliminates the risk of shifting end clearances when installing or removing drive components.
Polished Sealing Surfaces
All shaft surfaces in contact with sealing members are polished to reduce seal wear and risk of leakage.
Individually Tested
Every M-D™ Vacuum Booster is factory tested to assure you of the highest quality. While some manufacturers perform only sample testing, we go the distance to insure that your blower meets our rigid ISO 9001 registered quality standards.
