Forced Oil Flush for Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump

Rotary vane vacuum pumps can degrade over time due to oil contamination, carbon buildup, and residual moisture. These issues reduce vacuum efficiency, increase wear, and shorten service intervals. A forced oil flush is a fast, effective way to clean the pump internally without disassembly—restoring performance and reducing downtime.

This video demonstrates the correct forced oil flush procedure for rotary vane vacuum pumps used in medical and industrial applications. It covers when to flush, how to do it safely, and what results to expect.

• When to flush: Indicators like reduced vacuum levels, noisy operation, or darkened oil.
• How it works: Circulating clean oil through the pump while running to dislodge contaminants.
• What to use: Recommended oil types and volumes for effective flushing.
• Post-flush steps: How to inspect oil clarity, check vacuum levels, and log maintenance.
