Find vacuum leaks before they drain your efficiency

Many industrial processes rely on steady vacuum pressure. Leaks disrupt that. Find them with ultrasound.  

What are Vacuum Leaks Costing You?  

Vacuum leaks waste energy, drive up costs, and hurt product quality.  

When leaks go undetected, pumps work harder to maintain pressure, driving up energy consumption and accelerating wear and tear on the seals, bearings, and other critical components. 

Unstable vacuum pressure creates inconsistencies in the production process, leading to contamination risks, quality defects, lower yields, and reduced overall reliability. 

Risks associated with a leaky vacuum pressurized system 
  • Higher energy consumption – Pumps work harder to compensate. 
  • Process inefficiencies – Unstable vacuum pressure slows production. 
  • Equipment damage – Increased wear on pumps, seals, and system components. 
  • Product defects – Poor vacuum control impacts quality and consistency. 
Don’t wait for problems to arise. Find vacuum leaks with Acoustic Imaging.

Traditional methods for vacuum leak detection are slow and unreliable. Acoustic imaging provides a non-intrusive, real-time way to pinpoint leaks, even in noisy industrial environments. 

Acoustic imaging cameras work by turning the high-frequency ultrasound signals produced by the differential pressure of a vacuum leak into a visual image so it can be tagged and repaired.  

  • Instant detection – no guesswork. See exactly where leaks are. 
  • Designed for loud environments – No need for shutdowns or isolation.   
  • Improve efficiency and reliability – Reduce energy waste and equipment wear and tear.

Finding Vacuum Leaks with Acoustic Imaging 

Plan Your Survey 

Begin by reviewing your vacuum system layout and identifying potential leak points. Map out the areas you’ll inspect to ensure complete coverage and a more efficient survey. 

Scan & Tag 

Use acoustic imaging to quickly detect and visualize vacuum leaks—even in hard-to-reach areas. Tag each leak location to prioritize repairs and keep your maintenance team on track. 

Repair & Review

Fix the tagged leaks, then perform a final scan to confirm they’re fully resolved. This ensures restored vacuum pressure, minimized energy waste, and a healthier bottom line for your operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to shut down my system to perform vacuum leak detection? 

Most acoustic imaging surveys can be conducted while the system is running, meaning minimal or no downtime for your operations. 

How does acoustic imaging compare to other methods like soapy water or helium sniffers? 

Acoustic imaging is faster, safer, and more precise. It visualizes leaks in real time, eliminating guesswork and the need for messy or time-consuming tests. 

Is acoustic imaging effective for very small leaks?

Yes. Acoustic imaging can detect even the tiniest leaks by capturing high-frequency sound waves, making it a powerful solution for both large and micro leaks. 

How often should I schedule vacuum leak detection surveys? 

The frequency depends on your process demands and operational risk. Many facilities incorporate quarterly or biannual surveys to stay ahead of costly leaks. 

Can acoustic imaging detect multiple leaks at once? 

Absolutely. The real-time visual display makes it easy to spot multiple leaks in a single scan, saving time and labor costs. 

Will background noise in my facility affect accuracy? 

Acoustic imaging devices are designed to filter out ambient noise and focus on the high-frequency signals produced by vacuum leaks, ensuring reliable results even in busy environments. 

Do operators need specialized training to use acoustic imaging?

Most systems are user-friendly and require minimal training. Many providers offer on-site demos and hands-on instruction to ensure your team is up to speed quickly. 

What kind of ROI can I expect from vacuum leak detection? 

Reducing vacuum leaks helps cut energy costs, extend equipment life, and minimize downtime. Many companies see a rapid payback on their investment in acoustic imaging. 

Is acoustic imaging safe for operators and equipment?

Yes. Acoustic imaging is a non-contact, non-invasive method that poses no harm to personnel or sensitive machinery.

How does vacuum leak detection fit into my broader reliability strategy? 

Identifying and fixing leaks not only saves energy but also improves system performance and supports proactive maintenance, making it a key component of any reliability-centered program.
