Five point pump checklist; Avoid potential issues that can arise with oil lubricated machines

With the vast majority being oil lubricated, that oil has the potential to contaminate food directly, or the employees working in the plant. With the vacuum pump sucking air out, that air needs to exhaust somewhere. Filters are installed to absorb the oil but there is only so much they can take before they become saturated. When that happens the exhaust air will contain oil particles and will eventually generate small puddles of oil under the machine.
