Vacuum pump
maintenance
Vacuum pump oil change, filter checks and connection inspection: the basic steps of periodic maintenance on packaging machines.
On vacuum packaging and MAP lines, the vacuum pump directly affects package quality. Regular maintenance both preserves efficiency and reduces unexpected downtime.
Oil condition
On oil-lubricated pumps, check the oil level and color regularly. Oil that turns milky or dark indicates moisture or contamination and needs changing.
Filters
When the inlet and exhaust filters clog, pump-down time increases. Check the filters periodically according to production intensity.
Hoses and connections
Cracked hoses and loose connections cause leaks. If the vacuum drops late, check the connections first.
Keep records
Recording oil and filter change dates is the easiest way to keep the maintenance plan in order.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do if the vacuum drops late?
Check the oil, filters and connections in that order; if the problem persists, get technical service support.
How often should the pump oil be changed?
It depends on the manufacturer's instructions and operating intensity; checking the oil condition regularly is the safest way.
