Step 1
Documentation
ADVACO can arrange transport of your equipment to our facility, where your pump is then issued a work order number. From this point on, we document the status and details of your pump throughout the entire remanufacture process.

Detailed data outlining failure analysis, parts required, and test results reinforces a comprehensive servicing of your pump and provides a detailed record for future reference. Customized quarterly and/or annual reports can be generated upon request to aid in tracking overall repair histories and expenditures.

Step 2
Disassembly
The ADVACO facility is equipped to provide an EPA-compliant, environmentally secure setting both for our employees as well as your vacuum equipment.

Once the documentation process has been initiated, your pump is completely disassembled and immediately transferred to our automated cleaning system – no solvents, CFCs, or EPA-banned chemicals are used.

Only high-temperature water and semiconductor-compatible water-based detergents are used to agitate and remove all process residue deposited on your pump. This thorough cleaning enables our technicians to accurately inspect each individual pump part.

Step 3
Evaluation
ADVACO’s complete evaluation of your pump is free of charge. We inspect each pump component and deliver a comprehensive quote and detailed failure analysis report for your review.

• All consumable parts are quoted for replacement (as applicable) – gaskets, o-rings, valves, seals, springs, bushings, claws, etc.
• Additional parts are quoted for replacement or remanufacture in our machine shop.
• Motors are bench-checked for proper operation and performance.
• Upon receiving your approval, you pump undergoes a second cleaning to remove any final contaminants before reassembly begins.

Step 4
Assembly
ADVACO’s skilled technicians recreate the assembly techniques of your pump’s original manufacturer, using the specific tolls and fixtures necessary to restore like-new performance.

Our extensive experience and exacting procedures often result in a rebuilt pump that performs better and lasts longer then new.

Step 5
Testing
ADVACO has developed a set of specific test criteria that every pump must meet before return shipment. We utilize calibrated computerized testing equipment to verify the following against OEM and ADVACO standards.

• Operating temperature
• Vibration
• Noise
• Motor amperage
• Pumping speed
• Gas flow
• Ultimate vacuum
• Leakage
• Coolant and purge gas flow
• Sensor operation
