Booster Pump Upgrade for Coating System - before photos.

Identified Problems:

  • Use of an old vapour booster pump for hi vac.

  • Lack of cleanliness due to not being able to clean the lines.

  • Old hi vac valves, hi maintenance requirement.

  • Vapour booster pump stationary and not easily removeable.


AVT Solution:

Booster Pump Upgrade for Coating System - after photos.
  • Replace vapour booster pump with an Edwards mechanical booster pump

  • Manufacture custom stainless steel vac lines.

  • Manufacure a mobile pump stand with lockable wheels

  • Eliminate any vibration from pumping stack to enhance long term leak integrity through use of flex stainless vac lines

  • Build mobility for the pump and vac line, to move away from diffusion pump as one unit
