The cleaning methods of vacuum pumps mainly include the following:
Use professional cleaning agents: Using professional cleaning agents is a common cleaning method. This cleaning agent is usually highly corrosive and needs to be used correctly according to the instructions to avoid damage to the equipment.
Solvent cleaning method: For dry screw vacuum pumps, if the dirt is light, solvent cleaning can be used. Choose a solvent that does not chemically react with the substances in the pump and can effectively dissolve the dirt, such as a specific organic solvent or a dedicated vacuum pump cleaning agent. Inject the solvent into the pump cavity, manually rotate the pump shaft so that the solvent fully contacts the internal components, drain the solvent after soaking for a period of time, and repeat this process until the solvent is clear.
Mechanical descaling method: Mechanical descaling relies on manual use of tools to remove scale. It is usually necessary to disassemble the vacuum pump, and it is best to do it simultaneously with the planned shutdown and overhaul work.
Chemical descaling method: By adding a chemical descaling agent to the vacuum pump, the chemical reaction between it and the scale is used to achieve the purpose of descaling. Before use, it is necessary to take samples of scale for testing and select the appropriate descaling agent based on the specific components.
