Dry Claw Vacuum Pumps
Industrial Dry Claw Vacuum Systems
MD-Kinney dry claw vacuum pumps utilize advanced, oil-free compression technology to deliver efficient, reliable vacuum performance without the need for oil or water in the compression chamber. Designed with non-contacting, claw-shaped rotors, these pumps operate with minimal wear, reduced maintenance requirements, and consistent performance over long service intervals. Their dry-running design eliminates the risk of process contamination while supporting energy-efficient and environmentally responsible operation. Dry claw vacuum pumps are well suited for applications requiring clean, dependable vacuum generation, offering a robust solution across a wide range of industrial processes.
Types of Dry Claw Vacuum Pumps
The KVC Series
The MD-Kinney KVC Series dry claw vacuum pumps deliver reliable, oil-free vacuum performance for a wide range of industrial applications. Designed with non-contacting claw rotors, the KVC Series operates without oil or water in the compression chamber, resulting in minimal wear, reduced maintenance, and contamination-free operation. These pumps feature a compact footprint for efficient use of floor space and are engineered for high energy efficiency with excellent CFM-per-horsepower performance. Extreme Duty (XD) models are available with coated internals and flush ports to support more demanding process conditions.
Available Models: KVC60, KVC62, KVC100, KVC122, KVC150, KVC251, KVC301, KVC401, KVC501, KVC1000
The KVC LP Series
The MD-Kinney KVC LP Series dry claw vacuum pumps are designed for applications requiring higher ultimate vacuum while maintaining oil-free, low-maintenance operation. Built on the proven KVC platform, these pumps feature non-contacting claw rotors that eliminate the need for oil or water in the compression chamber, reducing wear and minimizing maintenance. The compact footprint allows for efficient use of floor space, while the highly efficient design delivers strong CFM-per-horsepower performance. Extreme Duty (XD) configurations are available for more demanding operating environments, and the LP series is optimized for processes that require deeper vacuum levels.
