2 | Product Description The machine is suitable for continuous operation up to a certain suction pressure indicated below: Machine type Suction pressure limitation for continuous operation MM 1202 AV 200 hPa (mbar) abs. MM 1252 AV MM 1322 AV MM 1324 AV 60 hPa (mbar) abs.
Product Description | 2 2.3.2 Gas Tight Version WARNING Media potentially dangerous. Risk of poisoning! Risk of infection! ● Wear appropriate personal protective equipment in case of high concentration of the medium in the ambient atmosphere of the machine. The gas tight version is a design option for applications where the process gas remains in the ma- chine and does not escape to the environment.
If you're not sure if this light chemical version is suitable for your application, please contact a Busch representative. It is a very important feature for applications where gases potentially dangerous to human health are not allowed and the concentration of the process gas must not exceed the admissible values of the ambient atmosphere of the machine.
Product Description | 2 Start Controls The machine comes without start controls. The control of the machine is to be provided in the course of installation. The machine can be equipped with a soft-starter. Standard Features 2.5.1 Vacuum Relief Valve The ultimate pressure is limited by a vacuum relief valve (VRE).
