Routine servicing is vital for maintaining vacuum pump performance and the smooth running of your operations. Discover why it’s so important and how VFE can help.
While reduced downtime is the single best reason to service your vacuum pumps, there are several other ways that routine vacuum pump servicing will benefit your operations.
What are those benefits and how could choosing a specialist vacuum pump service provider help you to improve your vacuum pump performance and keep your operations running?
3 ways routine vacuum servicing benefits your operations
1. Boosted efficiency
Routine vacuum pump servicing is important to maintain optimum performance. Even new, top of the line equipment will suffer inefficiencies if it isn’t regularly inspected and serviced. Most notably, this can lead to energy wastage, reduced performance, and increased operating costs. In some cases, these inefficiencies can threaten compliance. A routine inspection schedule will keep your pumps in top condition and ensure they’re operating at maximum efficiency.

2. Increased equipment reliability
Production must go on — especially when you’re accountable for it doing so. Unreliable equipment — in this case, vacuum pumps — threatens this, increasing risk across your operations. You may be confident in the warranties and various other protections built into your vacuum pumps, but it’s likely those warranties are dependent on you taking good care of your equipment through routine servicing.
As well as ensuring that your vacuum pumps are operating at optimal performance, planned, preventative servicing and maintenance reduce the risk of them breaking, giving you operational security and peace of mind that your machines can be relied on to run smoothly.

3. Quality assurance
The importance of quality control can’t be overstated. The quality of your output depends on high-quality equipment and machinery to manufacture them. Wear and tear is inevitable, particularly in equipment subjected to the kinds of forces that vacuum pumps experience. Routine servicing helps to maintain that quality.
- Can you confidently say your vacuum pumps are performing to specification?
- Can you trust the quality of the service and the engineers conducting it?
- If parts need replacing, can you guarantee the spares will be selected and installed correctly by a certified technician experienced with your pump type?
