Description
Operating principle
MINK claw vacuum pumps and compressors feature two claw-shaped rotors. The rotors are mounted in a housing and move in opposite directions. The shape of these claw rotors extracts, compresses and expels the pumped medium.
The minimal clearance between the rotors and the chamber housing optimizes the internal seal. So, no lubricants or operating fluids are required in the compression chamber.
MINK vacuum pumps and compressors are driven by a directly flange-mounted motor. A synchronizing gearbox maintains precise rotor timing.
MINK MA
Compressed air for mobile applications under extreme conditions
- Specially designed for mobile applications
- Compact design
- Vibration-resistant
- Operation under extreme conditions
- Dry and contact-free compression
- Maintenance-free
- Integrated speed control
Benefits of the MINK MA series
MINK MA are dry claw compressors, specially developed to compress or transport air in mobile applications mainly for the automotive and transport sector.
These compressors are resistant to severe vibration. They may be operated in temperature ranges between -40 °C and +100 °C and at elevations between -1,000 m and 4,000 m.
The “all-in-one” design leads to a very small footprint making MINK MA the optimum solution for mobile applications.
Their operating principle is dry. Thus, the pumped medium is not contaminated and may be used later without filtration or cleaning.
None of the internal moving parts come in contact with each other. Components are not subject to wear and servicing tasks are eliminated completely.
An integrated speed control allows the volume flow to be altered dynamically. Thus, MINK MA compressors always operate within the most efficient output range.
The CAN communication system permits parameters such as rotational speed, power consumption and temperature to be permanently recorded and controlled.

MINK MH
Reliable hydrogen recirculation even under extreme conditions
- Specially designed for fuel cells
- Hydrogen-approved by SGS-TÜV
- Compact design
- Vibration-resistant
- Operation under extreme temperature conditions
- Dry and contact-free operating principle
- Maintenance-free
- Integrated speed control
Benefits of the MINK MH series
MINK MH are hydrogen-approved claw compressors specially developed for the recirculation of hydrogen (H2) in fuel cells.
They are resistant to severe vibration levels and may be operated under extreme temperature conditions, between -30°C and +85°C.
The “all-in-one” design leads to a very small footprint making MINK MH the optimum solution for every fuel cell.
Their compression is dry. This means that no operating fluids are present in the compression chamber.
None of the internal moving parts of the compressor come in contact with each other. Components are not subject to wear and servicing tasks are eliminated completely.
An integrated speed control allows the volume flow to be altered dynamically. Thus, MINK MH always operate within the most efficient output range. Their volume flow remains constant throughout the entire life cycle.
The CAN communication system permits parameters such as rotational speed and power consumption to be permanently recorded and controlled.
Fields of application
Mink MH are the ideal solution for the following sectors in which hydrogen recirculation plays an important role:
- Transportation: automotive, rail, maritime, aviation
- Stationary: electricity generation
Operating principle fuel cell
In a fuel cell, a combination of hydrogen (coming from the tank) and oxygen (from the air) produces electricity, heat and water as a by-product.
A fuel cell consists of two electrodes, an anode and a cathode. A membrane separates them from each other and is responsible for the ion transport.
Hydrogen is supplied on the anode side, oxygen on the cathode side. The hydrogen molecules are split into protons and electrons.
The hydrogen protons diffuse through the membrane to the cathode, where they react with the oxygen to form water, thereby releasing energy.
It is important that oxygen does not diffuse into the hydrogen loop to prevent explosive conditions. Therefore, hydrogen is injected in a higher quantity. This excess hydrogen shall not be released to the atmosphere because of legal regulations and efficiency reasons.
The solution is to recirculate it back to the system inlet. For that purpose, our MINK MH claw compressor comes into operation. It has been specially developed for the recirculation of excess hydrogen in fuel cells and is hydrogen-approved by TÜV Saar.
