Vacuum pump Service Seminars, strip and rebuild advice for Edwards and Stokes oil sealed
vacuum pumps
and other laboratory sized vacuum pumps.

Edwards vacuum pumps are used mainly in scientific and R&D applications such as mass
spectrometers, electron microscopes and other analytical instruments and also in light industrial
applications. Many R&D laboratories use small rotary vane pumps in freeze drying and wet chemistry
applications.

Stokes rotary piston pumps and vacuum blowers are standard pumps for heavy industrial applications
such as vacuum furnaces for heat treating, carburizing, brazing and annealing. Also used extensively
in the aluminum coating
and vacuum deposition industry.

Vacuum Application consulting


Howard Tring - qualifications and background:

Howard has spent over 30 years in the vacuum pump industry in several countries.

England:

Completed a 5 year vacuum engineering apprenticeship with Edwards High Vacuum International Ltd.
During the apprenticeship he completed a one year City and Guilds Workshop Technology Course
and gained his Higher National Certificate (HNC) in mechanical engineering at Crawley College of
Further Education.
Spent two years in the Field Service Department at Edwards, servicing and installing vacuum pumps
and systems such as vacuum coaters, freeze dryers and vacuum furnaces.

Canada:

After a number of years gaining sales and applications experience in other industries, Howard
returned to work for Edwards as a sales engineer.
This position led to a technical support position helping customers in Canada and the USA.
Due to customer requests, technical training was offered using UK based trainers and Howard
prepared the practical equipment for them to use. He then took over the technical training role as he
gained experience in this field.

United States:

Howard then moved to Massachusetts to take on the role of Technical Training Manager for North
America
with BOC Edwards. He took a 5 day course on training and presentation skills specializing in
training for adults.
New training initiatives were developed for employees and scheduled training courses offered to
vacuum industry customers.
When Stokes Vacuum became an Edwards company the Service training was updated and new
technical training developed for the Stokes products.
In addition to training in N
orth America he also delivered training courses to semiconductor engineers
in Thailand and Ireland.

When BOC was purchased by Linde in 2007, the Edwards business was divested and became a
private company. The new company Edwards Vacuum Inc disbanded the technical training department.

As a result Howard started
Vacuum and Low Pressure Consulting to offer his training skills and
experiences in the vacuum industry to companies that are new to the technology, or whose employees
c
an benefit from a better understanding of vacuum processes.

Do you have a laboratory size vacuum pump that needs service?

We offer a pick up and delivery service in the Greater Philadelphia area that eliminates the hassle of
packing and shipping for you.

Shipping vacuum pumps by the "parcel" companies often leads to damage in transit.
Shipping small pumps by LTL carriers is very costly.

Service is carried out locally by HyVac Products, Inc. who also manufacture the "HyVac" vacuum
pumps. They know the business.

Call Howard at 610-792-3505 to arrange for your vacuum pump to be serviced.
