Although oil-sealed vacuum pumps have been an industrial workhorse for decades, the proven advantages of dry vacuum pump technology are causing a shift in the industry.

From time to time Intlvac would like to offer our customers opportunities to learn about vacuum pumps beyond just the operation and maintenance aspects. Leybold’s Vacuum Academy is offering an information session with an in-house specialist to enhance your understanding and keep you apprised of issues that may concern your operation.

In many applications, particularly those with high temperature or aggressive chemical environments, the use of synthetic lubricants like perfluoropolyether (PFPE) offers superior characteristics compared to mineral oil. PFPE fluids are free of additives, chemically inert, and thermally stable. If you are operating a Leybold vacuum pump, please consult us at Intlvac Inc to learn if your application is suitable for the use of PFPE fluid.

Your vacuum pump is a significant investment and one we are confident you will enjoy for years to come. Proper operation and maintenance are how you contribute to the long life of your system which is why we recommend the use of Genuine Leybold components for your vacuum pump repairs.

The smallest detectable leak rate of our PHOENIX leak detectors is 5x10-12 mbarl/s. How can these small leaks actually be measured and what internal background values can be perceived as “clean”?

Your vacuum pump isn’t working. Or maybe it’s making a strange noise that you haven’t heard before. Perhaps the pump is functioning below the standard you are used to. Any one of these reasons might prompt you to call Intlvac to get your vacuum pump serviced.

This is one question we get asked a lot at Intlvac. The short answer is ‘it depends’ meaning that there are a number of factors that impact the type and frequency of maintenance you need to perform.

In October 2017, Intlvac was honoured with the Large Business of the Year award presented by the Halton Hills Chamber of Commerce. President, Dino Deligiannis, and a number of Intlvac staff enjoyed the festivities at the awards gala. We are humbled and proud to receive this recognition.

The Screwline vacuum pump was designed with industrial applications in mind and emphasis was placed on a simple maintenance concept.

Selecting the right vacuum pump for your food processing and food packaging application can depend on a variety of factors. Let Intlvac help you decide which one is the best fit for you.

Leybold is the first vacuum pump manufacturer to test the diverse application possibilities of Augmented Reality (AR). While executing tasks, service technicians obtain useful additional information and graphical documentation, partly in 3D.

We all want to make the right equipment purchase choice. Not only to get value for our money but to minimize the time dealing with service issues or replacement parts. With years in the high vacuum industry, here is what we tell customers when they ask the right questions:

One of the keys to keeping your vacuum pump in good working order is ensuring that it is operated properly and that the lubricating oil or fluid used in its operation meets the full requirements of the pump.

The requirements for modern analytical instruments and systems are changing: users in laboratories and research facilities increasingly rely on low-noise, oil-free vacuum solutions to avoid contamination and, above all, unnecessary noise in laboratory environments.

Intlvac Delivers High Vacuum Systems for Physical Vapor Deposition and Ion Beam Milling and has become a key innovator in the Canadian high vacuum market.
