Watch our skilled technicians use our precision equipment to machine the lobes for a booster vacuum pump.  

Preventive maintenance is crucial to ensure that your diaphragm pump performs optimally and operates efficiently. A well-maintained diaphragm pump not only ensures uninterrupted operations but also helps reduce downtime and repair costs. In this article, we will outline the essential steps to perform preventive maintenance of a diaphragm pump. Step 1: Read the manufacturer’s manual…

Mechanical seals are a vital component in the design of pumps and are widely used to prevent leaks at the interface between the rotating shaft and stationary housing. Despite the advances in materials and designs, mechanical seals still fail in pumps. The failure of mechanical seals in pumps can be caused by a range of…

Vacuum pumps are essential for various industries, from manufacturing to medical and laboratory settings. They are used to create a vacuum or low-pressure environment, which enables many critical processes. However, like any mechanical device, vacuum pumps can experience failures, which can lead to costly downtime and repairs. In this article, we will discuss the common…

There are several reasons why a mechanical seal may leak. Some of the most common causes include:  Improper installation: If a mechanical seal is not installed properly, it can create leaks. This can happen if the seal is not seated correctly, or if the components are not aligned properly.  Worn or damaged components: Over time,…
