DVP LC4 Overview
The DVP LC4 is a small oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump suitable for compact machinery, bench-top equipment and applications where a reliable source of vacuum is required without using a larger industrial pump.
It is commonly selected for smaller packaging machines, dental and medical suction duties, light production machinery, printing equipment and automated handling systems.
For many customers, the LC4 is chosen as either an equivalent duty replacement for an existing small vacuum pump, such as a Busch R5 PB 0004, Becker O6 series pump or as a practical DVP option for new machinery and small vacuum installations.

Key LC4 Features
Compact Design
The LC4 is designed for small vacuum applications where space is limited and a compact pump is preferred.
Oil Check Valve
The integrated oil check valve helps isolate the equipment when the pump is stopped under vacuum.
Exhaust Mist Eliminator
The exhaust mist eliminator helps reduce oil mist discharge when the pump is correctly maintained.
Simple Maintenance
The LC4 is a practical pump for routine servicing, oil checks and general maintenance support.
Repair or Replace Your Existing Pump?
Replacement is not always the only answer. If your existing small vacuum pump is in reasonable condition, a service or repair may be more economical.
Replacement may make more sense if the pump is badly worn, repeatedly failing, using excessive oil, running hot, becoming noisy, or if parts are becoming difficult to obtain.
We can help compare the options and advise whether your best route is repair, refurbishment, a direct replacement, or a DVP alternative.
