Page 5: Customer Service
Parts should be purchased from the nearest authorized DEKKER Vacuum Technologies, Inc. (hereafter referred to as DEKKER) representative (visit www.dekkervacuum.com to find a distributor near you via the Distributor Locator) or from the vacuum pump system supplier. If, for any reason parts, cannot be obtained in this manner, contact the factory directly. -
Page 6: Introduction
SAFETY All vacuum pumps, systems and/or compressors (hereafter referred to as the Product) offered by DEKKER have been designed and manufactured for safe operation. However, the responsibility for safe operation rests with those who use and maintain these products. -
Page 7: Theory Of Operation
THEORY OF OPERATION The DEKKER Vmax oil-sealed liquid ring vacuum pump system includes our high efficiency liquid ring vacuum pump. The impeller assembly is the only moving part which rotates freely in the casing without metal-to-metal contact which means no additional lubrication is required. The function of the sealing liquid is to create a liquid piston action used to produce vacuum and to remove the heat of compression. -
Page 8: Storage
The customer should take photos of the product as it arrives and send to DEKKER and the freight carrier if there are any issues. The party who selected the shipper is responsible for filing the freight claim. Failure to report these issues within the freight carriers’... -
Page 9: Mounting
104°F (40°C). For higher ambient temperatures contact the factory. Typical system operating temperature is between 140°-185°F. Minimum oil temperature should not be below 45°F. DEKKER Vacuum Technologies, Inc. / Part No. 9983-0000-S01 Rev. A... -

FLC of the vacuum pump motor by 175% then add the FLC for the circulation pump and fan to get the fuse size. Disconnect must be sized to fit fuse. DEKKER Vacuum Technologies, Inc. / Part No. 9983-0000-S01 Rev. A... -
Page 11: Pipe Connection And Sizing
OSHA, National Electric Code and any other applicable local electrical code concerning switches, fused disconnects, etc. DEKKER includes a wiring diagram in the control panel for use by the installer. DEKKER recommends a main disconnect switch be fitted between the vacuum system and the incoming power. -
Page 12: Discharge Piping
See the “Discharge Piping Diagram” as shown below. For vacuum pump systems operating in parallel on a common discharge, DEKKER recommends the installation of a suitable check valve close to the separator discharge flange of each unit. Discharge check valves should be a low differential pressure type with positive shutoff. -

Complimentary Oil Analysis DEKKER offers oil analysis to customers, regardless of the age of their system, at no charge. Collect approximately 4 fluid ounces from the machine, and secure it in any type of clean bottle. On the bottle or a packing list, please include the following: system serial number, the type of oil, the run hours on the oil and machine, and note any problems you are having with the system if applicable. -
Page 22: Oil Solenoid Valve
Shaft Seals All DEKKER oil-sealed liquid ring vacuum pumps are fitted with mechanical shaft seals. Mechanical seals do not require maintenance unless there is more than a small amount of leakage. To define this we differentiate between the following: Weepage: Mechanical seals work by having two flat surfaces pushed together by axial force from the closing mechanism and by product pressure in the seal chamber. -
Page 23: Maintenance Schedule
10,000 Hours of Operation Every 10,000 hours, or annually, change seal fluid. Use DEKKER Vmaxol seal fluid. Life of Standard Vmaxol is 10,000 hours of operation. Synthetic/Food grade long-life Vmaxol may be changed every 15,000 hours of operation. -
Page 24: Devarnishing
Plugged filters reduce performance and may damage pump. Periodic maintenance will offer the best protection for your equipment. DEKKER offers a specially formulated devarnishing compound Proclean 39V for oil-sealed liquid ring pumps and systems. Procedure for using Proclean 39V and SDS sheet are included with the product. -
Page 25: Troubleshooting
The following is a basic troubleshooting guide and not all options may be included. Service should be done by a DEKKER authorized distributor or a properly trained service technician. Each unit is tested and checked at the factory. Always indicate model and serial number when calling. The model and serial number is viewable on the gold-colored information plate attached to the unit. -
