Our origin
About Dr.Vakuum
We've been building vacuum and blower technology since 1995. Our founders trained in the German vacuum industry and started Dr.Vakuum to make better-engineered, better-priced pumps available to the industries we know — packaging, semiconductor, pharma, food, and process.
01
Our origin
Built by vacuum engineers, for vacuum engineers. Since 1995.
02
Designed in Germany
Every Dr.Vakuum product carries a German engineering specification — tolerances, materials, seal designs, and lifecycle testing all meet the standards our founders learned from the industry's best.
03
Manufactured in Europe and Asia
We manufacture in Europe and Asia with the same QC procedures. This dual-source production means competitive pricing without compromise on the engineering.
Manufacturing
The line, the equipment, the quality.
Our pumps come off CNC-machined cast iron and stainless bodies, assembled and tested under the same German engineering standards in every facility we work with — in Europe and in Asia.
Production lines
Dedicated assembly lines per pump family. Each line is set up around a single technology — rotary vane, liquid ring, screw, side-channel — so operators specialise in one product class and accumulate the small process knowledge that decides between a pump that lasts five years and one that lasts fifteen.
Equipment we run
Five-axis CNC machining centres for pump housings and rotors. Coordinate measuring machines (CMM) for dimensional QC. Dynamic balancing rigs for high-speed rotors and turbomolecular blade stacks. Helium leak detectors for vacuum integrity testing on every unit shipped.
Quality control
Every pump leaves the line with a signed test report — ultimate vacuum, displacement at 50 and 60 Hz, sound level, leak rate. We don't ship pumps that fail the spec sheet. ISO 9001 procedures, CE marking where applicable, and pressure-equipment compliance for the categories that need it.
Warehouse & logistics
Stocked, not back-ordered.
Our most-shipped pump capacities are kept in stock so you don't wait six weeks for a unit that should ship in five days.
What we keep on the shelf
V Series single-stage rotary vane (the workhorse) — every capacity from 10 m³/h to 300 m³/h, ready to dispatch. Common spare-parts kits for every series we carry: vanes, oil, seals, filters. Turbomolecular pumps and cryopumps stocked for the most-requested inlet sizes.
Lead times you can plan around
Stocked items: 3–5 business days for international dispatch. Made-to-order configurations: 4–6 weeks. Specialty (turbomolecular, cryo, custom systems): quoted on request. Every order is tracked end-to-end with a single point of contact.
Technology
Where the engineering goes.
We don't compete by undercutting price on yesterday's design. We compete by shipping pumps that use less energy, last longer, and do things older designs can't.
Better materials
Cast iron bodies for thermal mass and acoustic damping. Stainless internals where chemistry demands it. Polymer-coated vanes that double the service interval against legacy steel-on-iron rotors.
Smarter control
Variable-frequency drives on screw and turbomolecular models — only spin as fast as the process needs. Inlet-pressure sensors that throttle motor speed automatically. Predictive-maintenance hooks that signal a service kit before the pump faults.
What's coming next
Lower-noise side-channel impellers for noise-sensitive applications (labs, food packaging). Integrated cooling for higher-capacity dry screws — pushing oil-free into ranges previously dominated by oil-injected designs. Continuous improvement, not vapourware.
Service
What happens after the pump ships.
A pump is a five-year decision, not a five-week one. Here is what we do to keep your pump running for the second four-and-a-half.
Spare parts on the shelf
Every pump we sell has a service kit (vanes, oil, seals, gaskets) kept in stock. Order before noon, dispatch the same day for our most-shipped models.
Engineering support
When you call our support line you reach an engineer who has rebuilt the pump you're calling about. We stay on the phone until your line is back up.
Trade-in & overhaul
We buy back end-of-life Dr.Vakuum pumps for refurbishment. Existing units of competing brands can be overhauled at our facility — quote on request.
