The significant development of vacuum technology has brought many conveniences to industrial production. While enjoying the convenience brought by vacuum technology, we also need to maintain the vacuum pump and install the filter correctly. Pay attention to the parameters of the vacuum pump, and select the appropriate vacuum pump and filter. Otherwise, such as overloading of the vacuum pump, incompatible filter elements not only affect production, but also threaten the personal safety of workers.
A customer, specializing in vacuum coating machine, suddenly contacted us and said that the vacuum pump exploded during operation, but fortunately no casualties were caused. The head asked us go over to inspect the scene and analyze the reasons. After learning the news, our general manager and engineer technical director rushed there. The explosion site is in a mess, and the factory had suspended production, waiting for us to analyze the cause of the accident.
After investigation and communication with the workshop manager, we found the cause. The company used a self-designed filter housing, but there was a dimensional deviation during the design process, resulting in the end cover of the housing directly sealing the upper end of the filter cartridge, preventing gas from being discharged and accumulating in the chamber. As the gas pressure gradually increased, the final chamber was unable to stand and explored. This accident caused the factory to temporarily shut down, resulting in a loss of over 40 thousand RMB.
LVGE reminds vacuum pump users that there is a specialization in their field. For precision equipment like vacuum pumps, it is important to choose a professional and quality assured manufacturer. The same goes for filters. If you need to customize a filter, it must be designed by professionals. Don't sacrifice the big for the small. It is suggested that provide accurate and detailed information as much as possible during the communication process of customizing related products, such as industry, production processes, equipment models, and various parameters.
