DVP SC 40 Oil-Free Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump

The DVP SC 40 is a dry-running, oil-free rotary vane vacuum pump from DVP Vacuum Technology. It pumps 40 m³/h and reaches an ultimate pressure of 120 mbar absolute. Girovac supplies the SC 40 in the UK, stocks genuine DVP spares and vanes, and services DVP pumps in-house. Price on application.

DVP SC 40 at a glance

What is the DVP SC 40?

The SC 40 is part of DVP’s SC oil-free range — 40 m³/h oil-free rotary vane pump, ultimate 120 mbar. It runs completely dry, so there is no oil to change, no oil mist at the exhaust and no chance of oil finding its way into your process — see our guide to the types of vacuum pump for how dry pumps compare.

What does oil-free mean on a DVP SC pump?

SC pumps run completely dry. Self-lubricating carbon vanes seal the pump instead of oil, so there is no oil to change, no oil mist at the exhaust and no risk of oil contaminating the process. The trade-off is a shallower ultimate vacuum than an oil-sealed pump – around 120 to 200 mbar rather than single figures. The smaller SC models are also rated as compressors.

Standard equipment on the DVP SC 40

• Silencer at the outlet
• Rotor, pump body and cover NPO treated for oxidation resistance
• Rated as both a vacuum pump and a compressor

What is the DVP SC 40 used for?

DVP lists the following applications for the SC 40:

• Food and beverage, and bottling
• Construction industry
• Packaging of food and non-food products
• Plastic, rubber and resin
• Analytical laboratories, pollutant sampling and analysis
• Printing, paper industry and silk-screen printing
• Vacuum lifting and suction handling
• Wood presses

DVP SC 40 technical specifications

Figures are taken from DVP’s published datasheet for the SC 40 (part number 9801037). 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 SC 40 compare with the rest of the LC range?

The closest alternatives by pumping speed are the DVP SC 25 and DVP SC 60. 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.

See the full DVP pump range or read our guide to the types of vacuum pump.

DVP SC 40 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 SC 40 new, source genuine DVP spares, and repair, service or recondition DVP pumps.

With no oil to manage, routine care comes down to keeping the inlet filter clear and replacing the vanes at the end of their life. If a dry pump is losing pumping speed, worn vanes or a blocked filter are the usual causes. See our DVP vacuum pump service guide.

We do not list prices online. Every SC 40 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 SC 40 used for?

DVP lists the SC 40 for food and beverage, and bottling, construction industry, packaging of food and non-food products, plastic, rubber and resin, analytical laboratories, pollutant sampling and analysis, printing, paper industry and silk-screen printing, vacuum lifting and suction handling and wood presses.

What vacuum does the DVP SC 40 reach?

The SC 40 reaches an ultimate pressure of 120 mbar absolute, with a nominal pumping speed of 40 m³/h (50 Hz) / 48 m³/h (60 Hz).

Does the DVP SC 40 need oil?

No. The SC 40 is a dry-running pump — it uses no oil at all, so there is no oil to check, top up or change, and no oil mist at the exhaust. Servicing centres on the vanes and filters instead.

What motor does the DVP SC 40 have?

The SC 40 is rated at 1.3 kW (single-phase) / 1.3 kW (three-phase) at 50 Hz and weighs 41.5 kg (single-phase) / 45 kg (three-phase). Tell us whether you need single-phase or three-phase when you enquire.

How much does the DVP SC 40 cost?

Girovac quotes the SC 40 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 SC 40?

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 SC 40, and stock genuine spares.
