Why does my GALILEO TP VACSOUND ECO D12 pump not start?

  Matthew GibsonAug 13, 2025
  If the GALILEO TP Industrial Equipment pump doesn't start or stops immediately, several issues could be the cause. First, the motor-pump coupling might be defective, so check the elastic joint and replace parts as needed. Second, the oil's viscosity might have increased; examine the oil and change it if necessary, also find out why it has deteriorated. Third, there could be excessive friction inside the pump; test the resistance to rotation by turning the joint by hand. If the rotors are blocked, disassemble the pump body and check the parts inside. Fourth, the electrical protections might not be set, so adjust them. Finally, if the oil is too viscous due to low room temperature, heat the oil to 20 °C or use an oil recommended for low temperatures.

  If your GALILEO TP Industrial Equipment pump overheats, consider the following: too much friction inside, clogged oil ducts, or an inverted direction of rotation. If there's too much friction inside, test the resistance to rotation by turning the joint by hand. If the rotors are blocked, disassemble the pump body and check the parts inside. If the oil ducts are clogged, try changing the oil; otherwise, disassemble the pump and clean it well. If the direction of rotation is inverted, change over two phase wires of the electric power supply.

How to fix a noisy GALILEO TP Industrial Equipment pump?
- J
  Joseph CrawfordAug 26, 2025
  If the GALILEO TP Industrial Equipment pump is very noisy even at steady operating conditions, several factors could be responsible. First, the exhaust valves might be damaged, so inspect them. Second, there might be high suction pressure, or the gas ballast device could be open; check the system and the gas ballast valve. Third, the elastic star of the joint might be damaged; check and replace it if necessary. Fourth, a grain of the joint might have become loose; lock the grain after applying Loctite 222 (for slack threads).

What to do if GALILEO TP VACSOUND ECO D12 Industrial Equipment pump drains too much oil?
- N
  Nathaniel ReyesAug 28, 2025
  If too much oil is being drained off by the exhaust of the GALILEO TP Industrial Equipment pump, it could be due to several reasons. The gas ballast device might be broken (always open), so check the device to ensure the gas ballast is properly adjusted. It could also be due to heavy-duty work (high suction pressures or very frequent cycles), so check the condition of the oil trap filter. Finally, there might be a leak in the system, so check the system.

What to do if my GALILEO TP Industrial Equipment pump stalls?

  Kelli SchmidtAug 31, 2025
  If the GALILEO TP Industrial Equipment pump stops or stalls, it could be due to the seizure of some internal parts or very dirty oil. If there is seizure of some internal parts, test the resistance to rotation by turning the joint by hand. If the rotors are blocked, disassemble the pump body and check the parts inside. If the oil is very dirty, examine the oil and change it if necessary, also find out why it has deteriorated.

Why is my GALILEO TP Industrial Equipment pump leaking oil?
- M
  Mary ShawSep 5, 2025
  If the GALILEO TP Industrial Equipment pump is losing oil, it could be due to a defective seal on the shaft or other defective gaskets. If the seal on the shaft is defective, replace the oil seal and the anti-wear bushing. If other gaskets are defective, identify the areas where seeping occurs and check the associated gaskets.

Why does suction pressure rise rapidly in GALILEO TP VACSOUND ECO D12 Industrial Equipment when stopped?
- D
  David JohnsonSep 8, 2025
  If, when the GALILEO TP Industrial Equipment pump is stopped, the suction pressure rises rapidly, the anti-suckback device may be defective. Disassemble and check the anti-suckback device.

How to troubleshoot insufficient vacuum in GALILEO TP VACSOUND ECO D12 Industrial Equipment?
- B
  Bethany SmithNov 16, 2025
  If the GALILEO TP Industrial Equipment pump does not produce a sufficient vacuum, several factors could be at play. First, check the oil level and appearance, as there might not be enough oil, or it could be contaminated. Open the Gas Ballast for at least half an hour and change the oil if necessary. Second, the oil ducts could be clogged inside. Third, the direction of rotation might be inverted. Fourth, the OR gaskets communicating with the suction line might be defective; if so, replace them. Fifth, the exhaust valves could be damaged or out of place. Sixth, there might be insufficient oil pressure in the lubricating circuit, preventing the anti-suckback device from opening; inspect the gears of the oil pump to ensure it's working. Seventh, internal moving parts could be worn, requiring...
