When a vacuum system no longer performs as expected, the symptoms can vary widely: insufficient vacuum, longer pump-down times, unstable pressure, unusual noise, overheating or increased motor current. The challenge is that these symptoms rarely point directly to one cause. Vacuum performance depends on the interaction between the pump, measurement, piping, process conditions and the system’s operating history..

This article provides an in-depth comparison of vacuum technologies for chemical and pharmaceutical applications, highlighting dry screw vacuum pumps as a modern alternative to traditional systems. It offers practical guidance on system design, operation, and compliance—helping engineers make informed, future-ready decisions.

Explore the differences between piston pumps and screw vacuum pumps, and discover why screw vacuum pumps are often the better choice for optimal vacuum performance in your application.

Every day, each person sends hundreds of liters of wastewater down the drain. From dishwashers and flushing toilets in the home to resource-heavy industrial processes, every drop must go through careful purification so that it can safely re-enter the natural water cycle.

No one thinks fondly of their last visit to the dentist. No one counts down the days to their next appointment, eagerly waiting to see what news their dentist breaks to them while rubber-gloved fingers probe uncomfortably in their mouth. But we know that not visiting the dentist comes with consequences. Consequences that are far more painful, more time-consuming, and above all, more costly than just getting it over with. Vacuum pump maintenance is the same.

If your vacuum pump is malfunctioning, you are faced with a choice: repair or replacement. Our guide will take you through both options and provide recommendations on when it makes sense to repair vacuum pumps and when to replace them. We will also take a look at how to spot and diagnose common issues before they lead to system failure.

Production downtime is one of the biggest risks in the manufacturing industry. From equipment failures to shortages of raw materials, any production downtime can result in major losses in revenue and market share.
