Every industrial vacuum furnace system uses a primary (aka mechanical) pump, which is also commonly referred to as a “backing” pump when either used in series with a booster pump, or used with both a booster and secondary (“high vacuum”) pump combination, such as a diffusion pump. These primary pumps are further divided into “wet” pumps (e.g., oil sealed rotary vane style or liquid ring pumps) or “dry” pumps (e.g., claw, hook or screw). Of the dry primary pumps, the most common types are the claw pump and the screw pump.

We service BOC Edwards, Ulvac, Ebara, Stokes, Welch, Alcatel, Busch, Pfeiffer, CTI Helix, Seiko Seiki, Varian, Robinair, and many more.

ULTRA VACUUM SOLUTIONS recommends vacuum pumps receive regularly, scheduled maintenance to ensure proper operation. Regular maintenance will cut costs by only having to pay for standard service. Vacuum pumps that are run until they fail can result in a greater rebuild cost.

We offer a complimentary evaluation of your facilities pumps to determine your needs and a cost savings analysis to reduce operating expenses.
