DVP MD 16 at a glance

What is the DVP MD 16?

The MD 16 is part of DVP’s MD compact range — 16 m³/h compact oil-lubricated rotary vane pump, ultimate 2 mbar. 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 MD 16 used for?

DVP’s datasheet for the MD 16 does not list specific applications. Pumps in DVP’s MD compact 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 MD 16 is the right choice.

DVP MD 16 technical specifications

Figures are taken from DVP’s published datasheet for the MD 16 (part number 9601076). 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 MD 16 compare with the rest of the LC range?

The closest alternatives by pumping speed are the DVP MD 10. 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 MD 16 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 MD 16 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 MD 16 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 MD 16 reach?

The MD 16 reaches an ultimate pressure of 2 mbar absolute, with a nominal pumping speed of 16 m³/h (50 Hz) / 19 m³/h (60 Hz).

What oil does the DVP MD 16 take?

The MD 16 uses DVP SW40 rotary vane pump oil, with a charge of 0.4 dm³. Change it when it darkens or the achievable vacuum drops off. Girovac stocks genuine DVP oil.

Is the DVP MD 16 single-stage or two-stage?

The MD 16 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 MD 16 have?

The MD 16 is rated at 0.55 kW (single-phase) at 50 Hz / 0.66 kW at 60 Hz and weighs 16 kg. Tell us whether you need single-phase or three-phase when you enquire.

How much does the DVP MD 16 cost?

Girovac quotes the MD 16 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 MD 16?

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 MD 16, and stock genuine spares.
