Why doesn't my VACUUBRAND Laboratory Equipment pump achieve ultimate vacuum?
- HHunter GardnerAug 25, 2025
If your VACUUBRAND pump isn't reaching its ultimate vacuum or usual pumping speed, check the centring ring at the small flange connection for correct positioning and inspect the pipeline and vacuum system for leaks. Ensure the controller setting is correct by selecting the ''Pump down'' function with the speed set to ''HI''. Use vacuum lines with a larger diameter and keep them as short as possible. If the pump has been exposed to condensate, allow it to run for a few minutes with atmospheric pressure at the inlet to purge. Clean and inspect the pump heads for deposits. Replace diaphragms and/or valves if they are damaged. Check process parameters for outgassing substances or vapor generation.
