[labnetwork] Mechanical pump advice

While they may not necessarily be  the cheapest we have chosen to go with Ebara for all our rough style pumps-dry pumps. This was in a lab wide effort to removal all oil pumps from the fab . Also, they have great added value in that we have a service contract for them to come in periodically and service all the pumps . We get a good deal on rebuilds as well.
These days no one can justify someone full time to service or manage all these pumps so this was a a logical choice for us. We also don't have to stock any spare parts-just a few spare pumps.

When we spec new tools they must come with a certain model  Ebara rough pump that is common to most of the large tools in the fab. In that way if one goes down it's a quick swap out with one of the spares we keep on hand.

Having said all this, I am not sure if the service here will reflect the service where you are...?

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past four years I have been purchasing equipment for my lab and I did not have the knowledge or the bandwidth to direct the vendors to provide a certain make of mechanical pumps.

I am working on building a stock of spare parts, pumps, etc and once again I am tapping into your vast knowledge and willingness to help. If you could share your recommendations on mechanical pumps brands, that would be very much appreciated.

Thank you very much and have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend,

Iulian
