Has anyone ever replaced the venturi vaccum pump on the CP45 or other series machine? Or used a centralized vaccum system? It works fine, but air consumption seems excessive. This is what is in there, it probably uses 10cfm at least. https://www.p

A follow up, using an external vacuum pump works fine, and reduces load on the air compresssor, probably using 1/3 of the air.

I also use a small vacuum pump, this allows me to run a small compressor to supply air to the machine, around 7.5cfm. Someone suggested it to me years ago, the venturi system in the machine uses a lot of air and is noisy. The pump is a yellow jacket

In my opinion save the old block and see how hard is to replace one if you have problems in future. I suppose it will be fixable.

It should be one of these latches that got stuck in position. I had a similar problem(my200 machine) the other way around - my stays closed so I don't get any vacuum. The problem is that the whole block of latches should be replaced(on a my200 machin

The machine has a vacuum pump in it. This is what I expected also, but the machine does not have a Vac pump on it. The unit is sealed by Dage, the unit is a crystal type vacuum tube not a filament type. Regards. Darron
