Becker vacuum pump maintenance is designed to be simple and straightforward to save you time and spare you trouble during your spring teardown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PACK IT UP: VACUUM PUMP MAINTENANCE MADE EASY<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The postseason can be the toughest time of year\u2014and not just for tired football stars. For maple sugar farmers spring means long hours in the sugarbush, pulling taps and taking in laterals. It\u2019s also time to do end-of-season maintenance on your vacuum pumps to prepare them for months of storage and ensure a clean start for next year\u2019s first sap run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More and more sugaring operations are investing in high-vacuum sap collection equipment, allowing farms of all sizes to boost production by anywhere between 50% and 200%, depending on terrain and other factors. Those gains come with a long-term commitment to performing regular and thorough pump maintenance, especially at the end of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>SMARTER PUMPS, LEANER MAINTENANCE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news is that modern electrical pumps require far less care and maintenance than gas-powered equipment both during use and after the season. That\u2019s especially true of higher-end units like Becker\u2019s U Series oil-flooded rotary vane vacuum pumps, which offer superior cold weather resilience and performance with minimal on-site maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/beckerpumps.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/11\/Becker_VT-DT-T-Rotary-Vane-Pumps_en.pdf\">ROTARY VANE PUMPS<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conventionally oil-less rotary vane or hook and claw pumps can also provide long hours of low-maintenance outdoor operation, especially for smaller sugaring operations but care must be taken that these units do not ingest moisture during operation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The increased use of always-on variable frequency drive technology in vacuum pumps also dramatically reduces the wear and tear previously caused by repeated cold starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>WHAT DOES END-OF-SEASON MAINTENANCE INVOLVE?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Provided your pump is running smoothly, end-of-season maintenance is usually straightforward. While the exact parts and servicing required will depend on the pump design and model, standard recommended maintenance can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Draining and disposal of old oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Replacement of oil filters<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Replacement of air\/oil separator filters<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Replacement of intake filters<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Replacement of vanes (oil-less pumps)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bearing greasing (oil-less pumps)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With modern, precision-engineered pumps, it\u2019s important to use original&nbsp; replacement parts and the grade of oil recommended by the manufacturer during any maintenance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your pump parts were exposed to excessive amounts of moisture or came directly into contact with sap during the season, then further maintenance or servicing by an experienced technician may be required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>MAINTENANCE KITS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately, Becker Pumps now supplies <a href=\"https:\/\/beckerpumps.com\/ca\/parts-and-accessories\/maintenance-kits-repair-kits\/\">maintenance kits<\/a> that can be ordered ahead of time and kept on hand for both unplanned on-site work and end-of-season servicing.

Worse, unplanned maintenance during the season means lost production during critical sap run windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With so little time to work with during the season and so much to do post-season, it\u2019s worth doing everything you can to minimize maintenance over the lifetime of your pumps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. BUY SMART, BUY BECKER<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oil-flooded rotary vane pumps are designed to provide powerful vacuums and reliable always-on operation in the toughest conditions. Becker\u2019s U Series pumps feature high-efficiency cooling and true oil-flooded lubrication to deliver the season-long reliability and minimal maintenance required by medium to large-scale sugaring operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/beckerpumps.com\/ca\/products\/vacuum-pumps\/rotary-vane-vacuum-pumps\/oil-lubricated-rotary-vane-vacuum-pumps\/u-series\/\">U SERIES PUMPS<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. PROPERLY SIZE YOUR EQUIPMENT<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maximize your production and reduce wear and tear by matching your vacuum pump to your gathering system and terrain. Becker\u2019s entry-level O-Series, Oil-Free and Hook &amp; Claw pumps provide powerful vacuum across a range of inlet sizes from 0.5 to 3 inches. Talk to a Becker representative about the best-sized <a href=\"https:\/\/beckerpumps.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/11\/maple-sugar-extraction_2022.pdf\">pump<\/a> for your sugaring operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. PROTECT YOUR PUMP<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Installing properly configured equipment including moisture release valves and air\/liquid separators upstream from your pump will improve efficiency and protect your equipment from damaging exposure to sap or excessive moisture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Becker\u2019s Advantage M systems can be equipped with our ready-built sap vacuum units, which also include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>High-efficiency air\/liquid separators<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oversized gas ballast for increased vapor tolerance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Moisture release\/flow control valves<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. USE ORIGINAL PARTS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can be very tempting to use generic or cut-price parts for your end-of-season overhauls, especially in a time crunch, but this will only end up costing you more in the long run.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, Becker\u2019s oil-flooded pumps deliver oil separation efficiency of 99.9% or more, but only when used with original Becker separator filters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/beckerpumps.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/04\/becker-genuine-parts-300x104-1.jpg\" alt=\"Becker genuine parts help ensure the longevity of your vacuum pump for maple syrup.\" class=\"wp-image-5753 lazyload\" width=\"433\" height=\"149\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/beckerpumps.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/04\/becker-genuine-parts-300x104-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beckerpumps.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/04\/becker-genuine-parts-300x104-1-200x69.jpg 200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 433px) 100vw, 433px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 433px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 433\/149;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5.
