Demand More from Your High Vacuum System

Machined hard-parts. Tight tolerances. Expert care. 

Our new and remanufactured vacuum pumps are built to last for even the most hostile vacuum furnace applications.

More Time Between Rebuilds

High vacuum pumps are the engine of your manufacturing process. One leak, one banging noise, one worn part, and it all comes to a screeching halt. But our industry-leading MHV remanufacturing process breathes new life and longevity into your pump.

Among the Original Stokes Remanufactures

1985

2025

Stokes approached our founder in 1985 to start rebuilding their pumps in the midwest region. Over the last 40+ years, we’ve refined that process, built a dedicated machine shop, applied that expertise to remanufacturing other brands of vacuum pumps, and became the only Stokes remanufacturer trusted by the biggest names in the industry. We demand more from our remanufactured pumps. Shouldn’t you?

Vacuum Pumps that Don’t Quit

Keep your production running longer. Heavy-duty castings, heat-treated components, onboard oil filtration, and a warranty we honor for your vacuum pump.

MHV-Pump-Linedrawing.png

Built on a Higher Standard

Bolt-In Replacement

With a size and shape like your existing Stokes 412 pump, our vacuum pumps can be easily bolted into your space.

On-Board Filtration

Our pumps automatically flush out particulates and free acid radicals for reduced wear rates and more runtime between rebuilds.

Failsafe Lubrication

In the event of the attached oil pump’s failure, atmospheric pressure pushes oil into the vacuum pump.

U.S. Manufactured Parts

Our castings are manufactured here in America, and that commitment to American-made parts ensures long-lasting quality.

Sentinel System Add-On

Sensors, gauges, and an onboard PLC alert you of maintenance needs to extend pump life. For HD300, HS430, Stokes 412H11, 412J14.

Drilled Hinge Bars

Delivers oil directly to the wear zone between hinge bar and piston slides—flushing out debris where buildup typically occurs to avoid vacuum loss pressure.

Heavy-Duty Parts Machined In House

Make your vacuum pump last longer. We machine heavy-duty parts in our dedicated shop to ensure each component meets or exceeds OEM specs and tolerances. 

 

Higher quality parts – because no one wants Friday night failures or Monday morning surprises.
