Maintenance and repairs in  Pfeiffer Vacuum ServiceCenter

The following steps are necessary to ensure a fast, smooth servicing process:

Download the forms "Service Request" and "Declaration on Contamination".

1)

Fill out the "Service Request" form and send it by fax or e-mail to your Pfeiffer Vacuum 
service address.

Include the confirmation on the service request from Pfeiffer Vacuum with your ship-
ment.

Fill in the contamination declaration and enclose it in the shipment (required!).

Dismantle all accessories.

Drain operating fluid/lubricant.

Drain cooling medium, if used.

Send the pump or unit in its original packaging if possible.

Sending of contaminated pumps or devices

No units will be accepted if they are contaminated with micro-biological, explosive or ra-
dioactive substances. “Hazardous substances” are substances and compounds in ac-
cordance with the hazardous goods directive (current version). If pumps are contaminat-
ed or the declaration on contamination is missing, Pfeiffer Vacuum performs 
decontamination at the shipper's expense.

Neutralise the pump by flushing it with nitrogen or dry air.

Close all openings airtight.

Seal the pump or unit in suitable protective film.

Return the pump/unit only in a suitable and sturdy transport container and send it in 
while following applicable transport conditions.

Service orders

All service orders are carried out exclusively according to our repair conditions for vacu-
um units and components.
