A small chicken processing plant in central Georgia, USA, installed two Nash CL-2002 (100 HP) vacuum pumps to transport and eviscerate 20,000 chickens daily. The pumps were rebuilt by a non-Nash shop and showed signs of problems as soon as they were started. On the first pump, they quickly found the shaft was out by 0.070”, which caused the pump to jump all over the place. The second pump would lock up within 90 seconds for no reason. Need for Nash vacuums  It's Monday afternoon, a...
