What is the DVP LC 151?
The LC 151 is part of DVP’s LC range — 151 m³/h, ultimate 0.1 mbar, IE2 three-phase motor. 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 151
- Oil check valve
- Exhaust mist eliminator
- Automatic floating oil recovery valve
- Gas ballast with manual cut-off valve
- Shock mounts fitted as standard
- Oil filter with by-pass

Figures are taken from DVP’s published datasheet for the LC 151 (part number 9603033). 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 151 compare with the rest of the LC range?
The closest alternatives by pumping speed are the DVP LC 60 and DVP LC 106. 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.
| DVP LC 151 (this pump) | 151 m³/h (50 Hz) / 181 m³/h (60 Hz) · ultimate 0.1 mbar |
|---|---|
| DVP LC 60 | 60 m³/h (50 Hz) / 72 m³/h (60 Hz) · ultimate 0.1 mbar |

DVP LC 151 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 151 new, source genuine DVP spares, and repair, service or recondition DVP pumps. If you are pumping water vapour, use the gas ballast — it is what stops vapour condensing in the oil.
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 151 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 151 used for?
DVP lists the LC 151 for metal polishing machines and vacuum welding of precious metals, packing, packaging and vacuum bottling machines, glass and marble lifting systems, loading, paper feeding and labelling equipment, suction handling equipment and automatic machines, vacuum-packed food processing and mixing, vacuum thermal moulding, garage equipment and centralised vacuum plant installations.
What vacuum does the DVP LC 151 reach?
The LC 151 reaches an ultimate pressure of 0.1 mbar absolute, operating continuously across 400 to 0.1 mbar (abs), with a nominal pumping speed of 151 m³/h (50 Hz) / 181 m³/h (60 Hz).
What oil does the DVP LC 151 take?
The LC 151 uses DVP SW100 rotary vane pump oil, with a charge of 2–3 dm³. Change it when it darkens or the achievable vacuum drops off. Girovac stocks genuine DVP oil.
Is the DVP LC 151 single-stage or two-stage?
The LC 151 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 151 have?
The LC 151 is rated at 3.3 kW (three-phase, IE2) at 50 Hz and weighs 80 kg. Tell us whether you need single-phase or three-phase when you enquire.
How much does the DVP LC 151 cost?
Girovac quotes the LC 151 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 151?
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 151, and stock genuine spares.
