The first step is to performance test the pump at your site, where capacity and power requirement are measured over the whole vacuum area of the pump. This is important to find the economical point of time for the repair but also allow the ROI return of investment period to be calculated and a budget repair cost can be produced.

The next step is dismantling and cleaning of your pump. All critical tolerances are checked and recorded. A detailed repair proposal is now produced.

The repair is made using reliable methods and materials, the aim is to reach the same capacity and power requirement as for a new vacuum pump. The pumps are reconstructed to the tolerance levels of a new pump by utilizing Chesterton ARC Ceramic Composites. Surface preparation is made by shot blasting, sweating out all rust and contaminants and finally a solvent wash. The majority of pumps have documented savings of 25 - 50% in KW consumption through this method of re-engineering.

Post refurbishment tests can be undertaken at your site.
