Vacuum equipment for your process

A pump’s ultimate vacuum is only part of the specification. Pumping speed, the gases or vapours being handled, duty cycle and maintenance requirements all affect the choice. We help industrial and laboratory customers find equipment that suits the application, whether that means a replacement pump or a complete vacuum system.

Vacuum systems and freeze dryers

We supply vacuum systems for industrial, composite and medical applications, alongside laboratory and industrial freeze dryers. System selection needs to take account of the whole process: required pressure, capacity, controls and how the equipment will be installed.

Send us your process requirements or the details of an existing installation. We can help you identify the options and the information needed to move your enquiry forward.

Vacuum pump oils, greases and spare parts

Routine maintenance starts with identifying the correct consumables. Our range covers vacuum pump oils, vacuum greases and sealing compounds, and diffusion pump fluids, with guides to the products and their uses.

Oil and fluid selection depends on the pump, its operating conditions and the manufacturer’s specification. Send the pump model and the product currently used if you need help identifying a replacement. We also supply spare parts, service kits, vacuum fittings, valves and filters.

Vacuum pump repairs and servicing

Our workshop in North Walsham supports customers with vacuum pump repairs and servicing, including single- and two-stage pumps, mechanical boosters, vacuum valves and gauges.

If a pump has become noisy, is leaking oil or is no longer reaching its usual pressure, tell us what has changed. Include the make, model and the process it is used for. These details help us discuss the next steps and whether a repair, service or replacement is worth considering.

Reconditioned vacuum pumps

A reconditioned vacuum pump can be a practical option when replacing existing equipment or working to a budget. We offer reconditioned pumps, including Edwards single- and two-stage models, subject to current stock.

Let us know the model you are replacing, the pressure and pumping speed you need, and your timescale. We can check what is available and discuss whether a reconditioned unit suits the application. You can also ask about vacuum pump hire.

Looking for an older pump or a hard-to-find part?

Part numbers change and older equipment can be difficult to identify. Our specialist sourcing service helps with enquiries for vacuum equipment and components that are proving difficult to find. A clear photograph of the nameplate, the original part number and any available drawings give us a useful starting point.

Before you enquire

What information do you need to recommend a vacuum pump?

Tell us what the pump will be used for, the required pressure and pumping speed, the gases or vapours involved, and how often it will run. If you are replacing a pump, send its make and model as well. We can work through any missing details with you.

Can you help identify the correct vacuum pump oil?

Send the pump make, model and the name or specification of the oil currently used. Include any details about the process. Oils with similar descriptions are not automatically interchangeable; compatibility with the pump and application needs to be checked.

Which vacuum equipment brands do you work with?

Girovac is the UK distributor for MIL’S. Our catalogue also includes equipment from manufacturers such as Edwards, Leybold and DVP. Visit our vacuum equipment brands page for an overview, or ask us about a specific model, spare part or service requirement.

Send us the model, the problem or the specification

You do not need a complete specification to start a conversation. Tell us what you are trying to achieve and any equipment you already have. We will help you work out the next step.
