Benefits of Regular Maintenance for Vacuum Pumps and Portable Units

In industries that rely on vacuum technology, the performance and reliability of vacuum equipment is essential. Whether you use stationary vacuum pumps or portable vacuum units, maintaining optimal functionality is key to minimising downtime and ensuring operational efficiency. That’s where professional vacuum pumps repair and portable vacuum units reconditioning services come into play.

Vacuum pumps are at the centre of many industrial processes—from packaging and medical applications to manufacturing and chemical processing. Over time, these pumps endure wear and tear, leading to reduced efficiency or complete failure if not addressed promptly.

At IBS Blowers, skilled technicians specialise in diagnosing and repairing a wide range of vacuum pumps. Their comprehensive service includes inspection, parts replacement, and rigorous testing to deliver lasting results.

Portable vacuum units offer flexibility and mobility for applications that require vacuum on the go. However, like their stationary counterparts, portable units require maintenance and reconditioning to maintain peak performance.

Portable vacuum units reconditioning involves:

  • Thorough cleaning and refurbishment of internal components
  • Replacement of worn or damaged parts
  • Performance testing to ensure efficiency and reliability
  • Updating or upgrading components for enhanced functionality

Reconditioning portable vacuum units not only improves their effectiveness but also extends their service life, making it a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new equipment.

IBS Blowers provides specialised portable vacuum units reconditioning services designed to meet the unique needs of your mobile vacuum systems.

Initially named the “water ring pump” the liquid ring vacuum pump is used for creating vacuum in moist gases and vapours. Typically utilised in the chemical industry, liquid ring vacuums, like many other vacuum systems, operate on the principle of positive displacement of liquid, channelling the liquid in a piston-like fashion to achieve displacement. Operating a relatively low temperatures liquid ring vacuum pumps are ideal for the condensation of vapours essentially allowing them to function, in part, as condensers, drastically reducing volume. Adaptable in that they are able to fit the medium which is being pumped, the liquid ring pump offers excellent benefits in that the lower operational temperatures, allows for the successful for the pumping of polymers which are especially temperature sensitive and prove to be far less problematic when involved in the pumping of the more volatile materials.

IBS liquid ring vacuum pumps range include the following sizes:

– RVS 3÷16 /M directly coupled to the flange of an electric motor and the impeller is supported by the electric motor standard bearings;

– > RVS 17÷21 /SG are supported by a bearing support with two sealed bearings life lubricated with grease;

– RVS 23÷60 /CT bearing support with bearings grease lubricated.

Siemens Turbomachinery HV Turbo Blowers from IBS

High quality industrial equipment is the key to the success for many industries and for many industrial companies that span the greater UK, most of whom turn to IBS for many of their industrial equipment requirements. Industrial Blower services consistently provide quality services and brands for the purpose of displacing water, waste, powders, and granules which are required to be displaced as either part of the industrial and manufacturing process, or in order to produce equipment which has this capability. There are numerous industrial applications for pressurized roots blower, from pneumatic conveying and dust filtering to industrial vacuum cleaning.  Roots type blowers are renowned for being vital for the purpose of positive displacement and IBS is renowned for being the supplier of new and reconditioned blowers and vacuums.

Used to create a constant flow of air for the purpose of positive displacement, roots type blowers consist of two rotors which are both symmetrical and identical. These two rotors have two, or sometimes three, meshing lobes all of which are contained with a case that is essentially airtight. Within and outlet ports on either side of the airtight case, the case is without valves. The two internal rotors rotate in a counter-clockwise position from each other and is synchronized with the use of a set of gear wheels. While the internal lobes are motivated by the gear wheels to spin, the air is drawn into the inlet port, by the motion of the lobes and then ejected through the outlet port. Depending on the speed of the rotation, the displacement of air will have varying strength. This is a simple and infinitely effective mechanism which has required little to no improvement since the inception of the design and industry utilizes this simple and effective motion of air for displacement applicable in many ways, including, for combustion, drying and dehydrating, aerating and agitation of liquids and pneumatic conveying.

IBS offers professional services and products such as Siemens Turbomachinery HV Turbo Blowers, Robuschi Blowers, Side channel blowers, and aerzen blowers all of which are quality products themselves.
