Production at a process plant can quickly come to a halt when the required vacuum condition is not reached. Downtime is a costly and frustrating situation for any business, so the problem must be resolved fast.
In this situation, the seemingly obvious assumption is that the vacuum pump is the cause. Surprisingly, in most cases, the vacuum pump is not actually the problem. Since different vacuum pumping technologies will react uniquely to various conditions, it is unlikely to be a “universal answer” to vacuum pressure problems.
Gasho now has a helpful resource for assessing and correcting problems with vacuum systems, Tuthill’s Succeed at Vacuum System Troubleshooting downloadable guide. This publication will help vacuum pump users to systematically identify the root cause of the most common problems and resolve them based on general vacuum system recommendations. Technology-specific issues are also covered in this helpful guide.
This Tuthill vacuum system resource is available for FREE download on the Gasho Industrial Vacuum Pumps page and on Gasho’s Engineer’s Tool Box page.
