Used & Refurbished Vacuum Pumps from Arlington Machinery

In the plastics industry, dependable equipment makes all the difference, especially when it comes to vacuum pumps. At Arlington Machinery, we supply carefully selected used and refurbished vacuum pumps to keep your production running smoothly. Whether you’re updating a system or expanding your operation, we offer a broad selection so you can find exactly what suits your needs.

The Role of Vacuum Pumps

Vacuum pumps play a crucial part in plastics manufacturing, helping regulate pressure, move materials, and ensure consistent product quality. You’ll find them at work in extrusion, molding, vacuum forming, and more. Choosing the right pump isn’t just about getting the job done; it’s about reliability, efficiency, and the quality of your final product.

Opting for a refurbished vacuum pump can bring you the performance you expect, often at a much lower cost than buying new, all without compromising on quality.

Main Components of a Vacuum Pump

A solid understanding of vacuum pump parts helps when buying, maintaining, or troubleshooting equipment. Here are some key areas to keep in mind:

Motor

The heart of the pump. Make sure the motor is in good working condition—watch out for overheating or unusual wear.

Impeller or Rotor

This component is responsible for creating the vacuum. Inspect for damage or excess wear, which can reduce efficiency.

Seals and Gaskets

Seals keep the system airtight. Replace any that show signs of age or damage to prevent leaks and maintain performance.

Vacuum Chamber

This is where pressure drops are managed. Watch for cracks, corrosion, or dents that could impact function.

Control Panel

Most pumps include controls for managing pressure and performance. Reliable controls are important; repairs can sometimes be costly.

Filtration

Filters protect the pump from dust and debris. Regular filter maintenance can extend the life of the entire system.

Regular inspections and care for these parts help prevent breakdowns and ensure your pump delivers consistent results.

How We Evaluate Used Vacuum Pumps

When it comes to used vacuum pumps, their value depends on several factors.

• Overall Condition: Signs of proper maintenance or excessive use make a difference.

• Brand Reputation: Names like Conair, Busch, and Speck are well-regarded for durability and performance.

• Age: Newer pumps are often preferred, but solid maintenance records matter even more.

• Market Demand: Some models are more sought-after; our insights help set fair prices.

Every pump we offer has been inspected and tested for quality, so you know you’re making a sound investment, whether you’re buying or selling.
