You may have heard it being associated with inefficient satellite equipment, poorly manufactured plastics and other items, poor industrial performance and high maintenance costs during the injection molding process or malfunctioning vacuum electronic equipment.

Wet Versus Dry Pumps

Vacuum pumps are critical for use in industrial, laboratory, and research applications. When making your decision, consider the flow rate, compression, elastic ability, pressure capacity, cost, and maintenance. Wet pumps and dry pumps both have particular features unique to their design. Learn more about them and you'll make the right choice that is perfect for your needs.

Considerations When Using Grease in a Vacuum System

There are many considerations when utilizing grease within a vacuum system. Often grease is used for the lubrication of o-rings, mechanical components, and in some cases to prevent corrosion. However, it is highly recommended to consider whether a grease is even necessary for each application. The presence of grease within a vacuum system can increase the gas load on the system and can be a source of collecting foreign debris.
