DVP LC 4 Lubricated Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump

Product details

The DVP LC 4 is a single-stage, oil-lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump from DVP Vacuum Technology. It pumps 4 m³/h and reaches an ultimate pressure of 2 mbar absolute. Girovac supplies the LC 4 in the UK, stocks genuine DVP spares and oil, and services DVP pumps in-house. Price on application.

DVP LC 4 at a glance

What is the DVP LC 4?

The LC 4 is part of DVP’s LC range — 4 m³/h, ultimate 2 mbar, very quiet at 48 dB(A). Oil-sealed rotary vane pumps like this one are the workhorses of industrial vacuum: the oil seals the clearances, lubricates the vanes and carries away heat, which is what lets a single-stage rotary vane pump hold a steady working vacuum under continuous duty.

Standard equipment on the DVP LC 4

• Oil check valve
• Exhaust mist eliminator
• Gravity oil recovery valve
• Rotor and pump body NPO treated for oxidation resistance
• Thermal protector (single-phase only)
• Integrated check valve isolating the system when stopped under vacuum
• FKM gaskets for a hermetic seal and long service life

What is the DVP LC 4 used for?

DVP lists the following applications for the LC 4:

• Vacuum packing machines
• Surgical extraction for dentistry and hospitals
• Mixing and dosage of resin for dentistry
• Silk-screen printing machines
• Automatic feeder machines for book-binding
• Wood presses
• Drilling machines for the construction industry

DVP LC 4 technical specifications

Figures are taken from DVP’s published datasheet for the LC 4 (part number 9601070). Noise is measured to UNI EN ISO 2151. Need the pumping speed at your actual working pressure rather than the nominal figure? Ask us for the curve.

How does the DVP LC 4 compare with the rest of the LC range?

The closest alternatives by pumping speed are the DVP LC 2 and DVP LC 4B. If you are between sizes, size on the volume to be evacuated and the time you have to do it in, not on the nominal figure alone.

Accessories and spares for the DVP LC 4

We stock genuine DVP consumables — inlet filters, exhaust filters, vanes, oil and service kits. DVP part numbers above are from the LC 4 datasheet; quote them when you enquire and we will match them exactly.

DVP LC 4 supply, spares and servicing from Girovac

Established in 1983, with more than 40 years in the industrial vacuum sector, Girovac supplies, services and stocks spares for DVP vacuum pumps from our workshop in North Walsham, Norfolk. We can supply the LC 4 new, source genuine DVP spares, and repair, service or recondition DVP pumps.

Routine care is straightforward: keep the oil clean and topped up, change it on schedule, and keep the inlet filter clear. Most cases of a not reaching ultimate vacuum come down to tired oil or a leak rather than a worn pump. See our DVP vacuum pump service guide for the full routine.

We do not list prices online. Every LC 4 is quoted to your application, duty cycle and phase requirement, including delivery to anywhere in the UK. Contact us for a quote on price, availability and technical advice.

Frequently asked questions

What is the DVP LC 4 used for?

DVP lists the LC 4 for vacuum packing machines, surgical extraction for dentistry and hospitals, mixing and dosage of resin for dentistry, silk-screen printing machines, automatic feeder machines for book-binding, wood presses and drilling machines for the construction industry.

What vacuum does the DVP LC 4 reach?

The LC 4 reaches an ultimate pressure of 2 mbar absolute, with a nominal pumping speed of 4 m³/h (50 Hz) / 4.8 m³/h (60 Hz).

What oil does the DVP LC 4 take?

The LC 4 uses DVP SW40 rotary vane pump oil, with a charge of 0.065 dm³. Change it when it darkens or the achievable vacuum drops off. Girovac stocks genuine DVP oil.

Is the DVP LC 4 single-stage or two-stage?

The LC 4 is a single-stage, oil-lubricated (oil-sealed) rotary vane vacuum pump. Single-stage pumps of this type typically reach the 10⁻¹ mbar region; for deeper vacuum you would need a two-stage pump.

What motor does the DVP LC 4 have?

The LC 4 is rated at 0.12 kW (single-phase) / 0.12 kW (three-phase) at 50 Hz and weighs 5.4 kg. Tell us whether you need single-phase or three-phase when you enquire.

How much does the DVP LC 4 cost?

Girovac quotes the LC 4 on application rather than listing a price, because cost depends on phase, accessories and delivery. Contact us and we will come back with a firm price and lead time.

Can Girovac service or repair a DVP LC 4?

Yes. Established in 1983, with more than 40 years in the industrial vacuum sector, Girovac supplies, services and stocks spares for DVP vacuum pumps from our workshop in North Walsham, Norfolk. We service, repair and recondition DVP pumps including the LC 4, and stock genuine spares.
