Busch R5 RA 0100 F Vacuum Pump
The Busch R5 RA 0100 F is a 100 m³/h oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump intended for larger machinery, higher-volume vacuum duties and continuous industrial production.
Vacuum Pumps UK can quote a new Busch R5 RA 0100 F for planned replacement, breakdown recovery, OEM machinery and new vacuum installations.
Where the process does not require the original Busch make, the DVP LC106 offers a closely matched capacity and may provide a more economical replacement option.

Busch R5 RA 0100 F Overview
The RA 0100 F moves into a higher-capacity part of the Busch R5 range, giving machinery designers and end users a stronger vacuum flow for larger chambers, longer pipe runs and production equipment with greater air-removal demand.
Its 100 m³/h nominal speed at 50Hz makes it suitable where cycle time matters. Faster removal of air can support packaging throughput, forming consistency, lifting response and recovery of vacuum between repeated machine cycles.
Inside the pump, an eccentric rotor and sliding vanes create a series of changing chamber volumes. Circulating oil lubricates the mechanism, helps seal the compression spaces and carries heat away from the working area. Exhaust separators recover oil from the discharge stream for return to the pump.
Vacuum Pumps UK can check the complete pump designation, motor plate, electrical supply and application before quoting the original Busch model or recommending the closest practical alternative.

Busch R5 RA 0100 F Pump Features
Oil Lubricated Rotary Vane
The rotary vane mechanism delivers a steady pumping action suited to repetitive production cycles and continuous industrial use.
Integrated Inlet Filter
Integrated inlet protection helps limit the entry of larger loose particles from connected machinery and pipework.
Oil Mist Separation
The exhaust separation arrangement captures oil droplets before discharge and supports recirculation back into the lubrication system.
Non-Return Protection
A non-return arrangement helps maintain separation between the pump and vacuum line when the motor stops.
Compact Installation
The RA 0100 F provides higher pumping capacity while remaining suitable for installation beside or within substantial production machinery.
Optional Accessories
Gas ballast, inlet filters, vacuum regulation and oil-monitoring options can be selected to suit the process and installation.
Typical Busch R5 RA 0100 F Applications
This model is commonly considered where a process needs both low ultimate pressure and enough pumping speed to evacuate a larger volume without slowing production.
› Double-chamber and larger packaging machines
› High-output tray sealing lines
› Industrial thermoforming equipment
› Vacuum cooling, mixing and food processing
› Filling, closing and container evacuation systems
› Robotic handling and high-capacity lifting systems
› CNC holding and vacuum clamping installations
› Printing, paper converting and finishing equipment
› Degassing vessels and industrial process vacuum
› Small central systems and multi-point vacuum supply
New Busch R5 RA 0100 F Vacuum Pump Supply
Vacuum Pumps UK can supply a new RA 0100 F where an existing machine, customer standard or OEM specification requires Busch equipment.
Because pumps with the same basic model designation can differ by motor, voltage, inlet arrangement and accessories, we confirm the complete nameplate before quotation.
Send us photographs of the pump and motor plates for an accurate specification and availability check.
DVP LC106
Comparable 40 m³/h oil lubricated vacuum pump
Comparable DVP Alternative
Consider the DVP LC106
The DVP LC106 is a strong alternative in this capacity class. It provides 106 m³/h at 50Hz and 127 m³/h at 60Hz, compared with the Busch pump’s 100/120 m³/h rating, while both models are stated at 0.1 mbar absolute final pressure.
The LC106 is suitable for continuous operation from 400 to 0.1 mbar absolute and uses a 2.2 kW motor at 50Hz. This gives it closely matched vacuum performance with a lower stated motor rating than the standard RA 0100 F.
Standard LC106 equipment includes an oil check valve, exhaust mist eliminator, automatic floating oil-recovery valve, manually isolated gas ballast, shock mounts, oil filter with by-pass and a flexible transmission coupling.
For replacement work, Vacuum Pumps UK will still check pipe connections, mounting centres, inlet position, electrical supply, controls and the process duty before confirming compatibility.
Vacuum Pumps UK is the UK and Ireland Master Agent for DVP Vacuum Technology.
Busch R5 RA 0100 F and DVP LC106 Comparison
The figures show why the LC106 is a credible option for this duty: its nominal flow is slightly higher, its stated ultimate pressure is the same and its 50Hz motor rating is lower. Physical and application compatibility must nevertheless be confirmed.
| Specification | Busch R5 RA 0100 F | DVP LC106 |
| Pump Technology | Oil lubricated rotary vane | Oil lubricated rotary vane |
| Nominal Capacity 50Hz | 100 m³/h | 106 m³/h |
| Nominal Capacity 60Hz | 120 m³/h | 127 m³/h |
| Maximum Vacuum | 0.1 mbar absolute | 0.1 mbar absolute |
| Motor Power 50Hz | 2.7 kW | 2.2 kW |
| Motor Power 60Hz | 3.4 kW | 2.7 kW |
| Exhaust Oil Separation | Integrated | Integrated oil damping and recovery system |
| Anti-Suck-Back Protection | Integrated non-return arrangement | Integrated anti-suck-back device |
Important: Mounting dimensions, inlet position, connection size, motor voltage, control arrangements, operating pressure and process conditions should always be checked.
Why Consider the DVP LC106?
An enquiry for an RA 0100 F may originate from a breakdown, a machinery refurbishment or a new production project. In each case, the essential requirement is usually reliable vacuum around the 100 m³/h performance level.
The LC106 gives customers another European-manufactured option with closely aligned specifications, competitive pricing and direct technical support from the DVP UK and Ireland Master Agent.
Comparable Capacity
The LC106 provides 106 m³/h at 50Hz, closely matching and slightly exceeding the Busch pump’s 100 m³/h nominal capacity.
Economical Option
Where the installation is not brand-restricted, the LC106 may lower the cost of replacing or upgrading the existing pump.
Lower Motor Rating
The LC106 uses a stated 2.2 kW motor at 50Hz, compared with 2.7 kW for the standard Busch pump.
Factory-Backed Support
VPUK supplies the pump with DVP factory backing, genuine replacement parts and UK-based application and workshop support.
