Vacuum pumps

Vacuum pumps

Hello all,

Wishing you all the best in the new year.

I am working on the central vacuum system for our labs' thermoplastic and
laminating procedures. As I prepare to upgrade the system I would like to be
able to do more tasks simultaneously. My past experience with vacuum pumps is
limited to Gast models with rotary vanes. I have to say they are dependable,
real work horses and are fairly easy to maintain and repair. I presently have
a Gast 1/3 HP 110 volt pump. We have a 30 gallon surge tank and 3 stations
connected by 3/4 pvc and in general have very few problems. I plan to
purchase a primary (or back up) pump and add a couple of stations. If anyone
has experience with a different pump, tips or suggestions on a system that
might be better suited for our purposes, I would appreciate your advise.

Thanks in advance and I will post all responses unless otherwise requested.
