We have been servicing, repairing and maintaining vacuum packing machines for over 30 years. Our highly trained engineers can provide a routine service, a repair service and emergency repairs for your vacuum packing machine.
We can service and repair all major vacuum packaging machines from brands like Henkelman, Audionvac, Turbovac and Webomatic. Routine servicing and vacuum packaging maintenance is essential and has many benefits including:
If you use your machine a lot you should stick to a monthly maintenance schedule, if your usage is light a service every 6 months would be recommended. We can offer special packages for pre-planned servicing and we offer a non-scheduled repair call at a reasonable price including call out.
A routine service generally involves the following steps:
Pre-service vacuum check will be taken to record the minimum vacuum before work is undertaken; this is an essential check to find out if the machine is working correctly. This also checks the efficiency of the machine before service so we can show how the service has improved the machine.
Oil will be drained and “sludge” build-up flushed out to ensure the vacuum pump life is extended to its maximum. Pump exhaust filter replaced as required & the correct grade oil will be filled to the correct level.
Vacuum pump exhaust filters are checked for clogging and replaced where necessary – filters are essential for ensuring the oil is strained and cleaned correctly, clean filters prevent misting to atmosphere.
Lid seal and anvil rubbers are inspected for cuts and splitting, damaged anvil bar rubber could indicate over heating seal bars during the sealing cycle or incorrect program setting.
Seal bar(s) are removed and stripped with new pft heat resisting tape applied along with new seal wires if required.
Finally as the vacuum packer is assembled prior to testing, electrical components are checked too. Lid struts are inspected for optimum performance, and inlet and exhaust valve solenoids inspected for any damage.
The machine will be run and a final vacuum gauge check made to ensure the machine is working correctly and adjusted to provide optimum vacuum. Programs will be checked and any defects / observations reported to customer.

If you want to service your own machine we sell a wide range of service kits for vacuum packaging machines. The below are the service kits we have in stock, if you don’t see what you need contact us as no matter which vacuum packer you own, there is a service kit available.
You have the choice of buying a chamber service kit, vacuum pump service kit or a service kit that covers both. It is extremely important that vacuum packers and pumps are serviced regularly.
By doing so the vacuum packer and vacuum pump will last you significantly longer. Vacuum packaging machines that are not serviced regularly can encounter problems or major breakdowns, costing you repair bills and downtime.
We can offer a same day service for customers located within a reasonable distance from our depot and in any scenario you will receive a quick response.
