DVP LC 4B Lubricated Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump

Product details

The DVP LC 4B 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 30 mbar absolute. Girovac supplies the LC 4B in the UK, stocks genuine DVP spares and oil, and services DVP pumps in-house. Price on application.

DVP LC 4B at a glance

What is the DVP LC 4B?

The LC 4B is part of DVP’s LC range — 4 m³/h, ultimate 30 mbar, compact and 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.

What is the DVP LC 4B used for?

DVP’s datasheet for the LC 4B does not list specific applications. Pumps in DVP’s LC range are used across vacuum packaging, handling and lifting, printing, laboratory and general industrial vacuum duties. If you tell us the process, volume and target pressure, we will confirm whether the LC 4B is the right choice.

DVP LC 4B technical specifications

Figures are taken from DVP’s published datasheet for the LC 4B (part number 9601077). 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 4B compare with the rest of the LC range?

The closest alternatives by pumping speed are the DVP LC 2 and DVP LC 4. 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 4B 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 4B 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 4B 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 vacuum does the DVP LC 4B reach?

The LC 4B reaches an ultimate pressure of 30 mbar absolute, operating continuously across 400 to 30 mbar (abs), with a nominal pumping speed of 4 m³/h (50 Hz) / 4.8 m³/h (60 Hz).

What oil does the DVP LC 4B take?

The LC 4B 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 4B single-stage or two-stage?

The LC 4B 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 4B have?

The LC 4B is rated at 0.12 kW (single-phase) / 0.12 kW (three-phase, IE2) 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 4B cost?

Girovac quotes the LC 4B 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 4B?

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 4B, and stock genuine spares.
