Waste Disposal
The pump may have been contaminated by the process or by environmental
influences. In this case the equipment must be decontaminated in accor-
dance with the relevant regulations. We offer this service at fixed prices.
Further details are available on request.
Contaminated parts can be detrimental to health and environment. Before
beginning with any work, first find out whether any parts are contaminated.
Adhere to the relevant regulations and take the necessary precautions
when handling contaminated parts.
Separate clean pumps according to their materials, and dispose of these
accordingly. We offer this service. Further details are available on request.
When sending us a pump, observe the regulations given in Section “5.7
Leybold Service”.
Disposal of Waste Oil
Owners of waste oil are entirely self-responsible for proper disposal of this
waste.
Waste oil from vacuum pumps must not be mixed with other substances or
materials.
Waste oil from vacuum pumps (Leybold oils which are based on mineral oils)
which are subject to normal wear and which are contaminated due to the
influence of oxygen in the air, high temperatures or mechanical wear must be
disposed of through the locally available waste oil disposal system.
Waste oil from vacuum pumps which is contaminated with other substances
must be marked and stored in such a way that the type of contamination is
apparent. This waste must be disposed of as special waste.
European, national and regional regulations concerning waste disposal need
to be observed. Waste must only be transported and disposed of by an
approved waste disposal vendor.
PFPE
from vacuum pumps may be regenerated, if required, and provided
the quantities are large enough. For this, please contact us for assistance.
