The PLC control unit 12 sets the time for the mechanical pump and adds at a fixed time; and the frequency converter 11 transmits the current signal of each pump to the PLC, and the PLC sets the rated value for the motor current of each mechanical vacuum pump 2. By comparing the PLC set value, it is determined whether the motor load has increased. If the actual current is greater than the set value, it means that the pump blade is dirty, so the PLC gives an addition instruction, opens the solenoid valve 9, and cleans it. When the current drops and is less than the set value, the addition is stopped.
