Repair or Replace Your Existing Vacuum Pump?
A replacement pump is not always the right answer. If your existing vacuum pump is structurally sound, a professional service, overhaul or refurbishment may restore performance and extend its working life at a lower cost.
On the other hand, if the pump has become unreliable, suffers frequent breakdowns, consumes excessive oil, struggles to achieve the required vacuum level or has repair costs approaching the value of a replacement, upgrading to a newer model often makes better commercial sense.
Our engineers can assess your existing installation and advise whether repair, refurbishment or replacement with a DVP LX650 represents the most practical and cost-effective solution.
