Why Does a Scroll Pump Produce Smoke from the Exhaust Port During Operation?
Operating vacuum pumps improperly often leads to malfunctions, such as a decrease in vacuum level in scroll vacuum pumps, oil leakage, smoke, increased noise, and oil seal issues, as well as emulsification of the vacuum pump oil inside the pump. In case of such occurrences, do not panic first. Wait until the machine is shut down and then address each fault individually.
How to Solve the Issue of Smoking or Oil Leaking from the Exhaust Port of a Vacuum Pump During Operation?
1. 【Vaccum Pump Smoking】If a pump starts up with smoke, it is normal; however, if it smokes for a prolonged period, it is abnormal. Solution: Smoking indicates that there are repair issues with the pump's intake port, including pipes, valves, and containers. After leak inspection and repairs, the smoking will cease.

2. 【Vacuum Pump Oil Injection】Indicates there are numerous leak points at the intake port, even the intake port is exposed to the atmosphere. Solution: Seal the pump's intake port to operate the pump; if it doesn't spray oil, it indicates there are leaks; check for damaged exhaust valve plates and replace any faulty ones.
Why Would a Root Pump Be Smoking During Operation? A vacuum pump is a device or equipment that uses mechanical, physical, chemical, or physical-chemical methods to evacuate air from a container to achieve a vacuum. In simpler terms, a vacuum pump is a device that improves, generates, and maintains a vacuum within a closed space using various methods.
Based on the working principle of vacuum pumps, they can be mainly categorized into two types: gas collection pumps and gas transfer pumps. They are widely used in industries such as metallurgy, chemical engineering, food, and electronic coating. Common types of vacuum pumps include dry screw vacuum pumps, water ring pumps, reciprocating pumps, slide valve pumps, vane pumps, Roots pumps, and diffusion pumps, which are essential main pump types in the application of vacuum technology across various sectors of our national economy. In recent years, with the sustained and rapid economic development in our country, the downstream application industries related to vacuum pumps have maintained a strong growth momentum. Driven by continuous expansion in the application fields of vacuum pumps and other factors, the vacuum pump industry in China has achieved a stable and rapid development.
