Frequent Questions
Do you only service CB Pneumatics vac systems?
No, our team is capable of servicing many different brands of vac systems.
Will you come to me to service my unit?
Yes, we have a mobile unit that travels from our service shop allowing us to come to you to service your machine.
What are your service shop rates?
Our rates vary based on the services needed. We will always give you a quote prior to starting a job so you can approve it or reject it.
How often should I have my grain vac serviced?
How frequently you service your grain vac depends on usage, environment and system type, but as a baseline, light use should get a check-up at least annually while systems in heavy or continuous use merit quarterly or semi-annual maintenance.
What are common warning signs that my system needs service or repair?
Common warning signs that your grain vac needs service or repair include reduced output, unusual noise or vibrations, overheating or frequent shutdowns, oil or water carry-over in air lines, unusual energy consumption or visible air/hose leaks. If you’re experiencing any of this, reach out to us for a service request.
Can I perform routine maintenance myself?
Performing routine maintenance depends on your comfort level. We typically see customers handling basic tasks such as inspecting hoses and cleaning filters themselves. For more involved checks or component replacements, we recommend using our trained technicians to ensure safety and equipment performance.
Which components tend to wear out or need replacement most frequently?
Filters, belts, hoses, seals and gaskets, safety relief valves and mufflers are among the most frequently serviced or replaced components in a grain vac. Regular inspection helps catch wear before failure.
Does servicing help improve energy efficiency and reduce operating costs?
Yes, clean filters, good lubrication, leak-free hoses and properly functioning components reduce energy waste, prevent over-working the compressor and help your grain vac operate more efficiently and economically.
Do you provide emergency repair services if a system breaks down on-site?
