Why Vacuum Pump Oil Matters
Oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps rely on oil for much more than basic lubrication. The oil helps seal the internal compression chamber, remove heat, protect moving parts and support the ultimate vacuum level of the pump.
Poor quality, contaminated or incorrect oil can quickly affect pump performance. In severe cases it can lead to overheating, damaged vanes, blocked oil separators, bearing failure and expensive repairs.
Common Signs Your Oil Needs Changing
• Oil appears dark, dirty or cloudy
• Pump is running hotter than normal
• Oil consumption has increased
• Exhaust smoke or oil mist has increased
• Pump has been exposed to moisture or process contamination
