Busch SAMOS Side Channel Blowers for Vacuum and Pressure - Models SB 0021, SB 0040, SB 0063, SB 0100, SB 0140, SI 0160, SI 0260, SI 0330, SI 0500, SI 0680, SI 1200
Busch SAMOS side channel blowers represent proven regenerative technology designed specifically for continuous operation in wastewater treatment facilities, industrial production environments, and environmental applications requiring moderate vacuum or low-pressure compressed air delivery.
The distinctive side channel design utilizes laminar flow principles to achieve exceptional volumetric efficiency while maintaining compact dimensions. Unlike traditional vacuum pumps, SAMOS blowers operate completely oil-free with minimal internal friction, resulting in extended service intervals and outstanding reliability in harsh operating conditions.
