Xinda’s Latest Project: Vacuum Pump Reconditioning at a Leading Chemical Plant

At Xinda Compressed Air Technology, we pride ourselves on delivering industrial air solutions that keep South Africa’s most demanding facilities operating at peak efficiency. In June 2025, we were called upon by a leading chemical manufacturing company to inspect and recondition a 1472 CFM reciprocating vacuum pump stationed at their chlorine plant.

Full Overhaul of 1472 CFM Reciprocating Vacuum Pump

Upon receiving the unit, our team began with a full strip-down and in-depth assessment of the vacuum pump. It was clear that the system required a comprehensive overhaul to restore it to optimal working condition.

After consultation with the client, we moved forward with:

  • Complete top and bottom overhaul

  • Replacement of all bushes, rings, and valves

  • Precision reassembly and reinstallation

  • Successful on-site commissioning

Our experienced technicians ensured every component met our high standards before final installation. The pump is now running efficiently and reliably, contributing to the plant’s production of high-grade chlorine products.


✅ Why Regular Assessments Matter

This project is a strong reminder that routine inspection and servicing of industrial air equipment is crucial. By proactively maintaining your rotary screw, rotary vane, and reciprocating units, you:

  • Extend equipment life

  • Improve product output

  • Reduce unexpected downtime

  • Save costs on emergency repairs
